Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) and Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) Testing Services
Both Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) and Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) are product reliability testing processes that test a product’s design limitations and manufacturing weaknesses. While both methods are similar in approach and testing, HALT is performed on products and components during the design phase before production or manufacturing. HALT employs a stepped accelerated stress approach to identify the physical limitations of a product’s design under various stressors. HASS is performed when the product is ready for manufacturing. HASS has a similar testing approach as HALT to assess any weakness the product develops during the manufacturing process. Both tests are run to failure to acquire comprehensive data on failure modes and follow a root cause analysis approach to fix issues. Generating a HASS testing profile usually requires previous HALT testing with robust product design and validation data. The type of stresses induced in HALT & HASS includes combined temperature cycling, random 6 degrees of freedom vibration, and electrical loading/monitoring.
HALT & HASS testing can help designers and engineers address critical development and manufacturing issues ahead and avoid expensive redesign costs or production costs later in the product or component’s life.

Humidity Testing
Humidity Testing is a suite of standardized environmental tests performed to evaluate the prolonged effect of humidity on a product or material.
Vibration Testing
Vibration testing is the process of evaluating the performance or degradation of a product, component, system, or structure when subjected to mechanical motion.
Accelerated Aging
Accelerated aging is the expedited aging process of a product by subjecting it to aggravated operational and environmental conditions like temperature, pressure, humidity, light, vibration, etc.
