WHAT IS ACCELERATED AGEING TESTING AND WHY MIGHT I WISH TO CONSIDER IT?

摘要

Accelerated age testing can be separated into highly accelerated life testing (HALT) and highly accelerated stress screening (HASS). Both techniques use stresses far beyond the normal operating condition of a product with the goal to identify problems and eliminate them and thus produce a more reliable product. Each category of testing artificially increases stress on the product or component to identify the impact that time, temperature, humidity, corrosion and vibration will have on the product or component.
