Knowledge

Laird product validation services offers the relevant and practical cross-over knowledge to add real value at the critical stage of your product development. We do not stick to a narrow view by staying within the confines of “pass/fail” testing.

Identification of Issues

We take a hard look at your product and figure out exactly what to test and which criteria to use. If needed, we take a failed product apart to identify the module or functional block that is causing the problem –and show you how to fix it.

Recommendations

And we don’t simply drop a pass/fail report in your in-box. We interpret and analyse the results, recommend possible changes and enhancements.

The EMC Lab


The EMC Lab

In our EMC laboratory, we assess the electro magnetic compatibility of your product. With our test facilities, two 3m anechoic rooms (1 full compliance and 1 compact chamber) and two shielded rooms among others, we cover the different types of EMC tests.

Below you find a rough overview about the main test requirements we implemented in our lab.


The EMC Lab

• Electrical requirements LV 124 (e.g. VW 80000)

• Automotive manufacturer requirements (e.g. VW TL81000)

• R&TTE directive (CE-mark: EMC & Radio)

• EMC directive (CE-mark)

• FCC Part 15/18 accreditation (North America)

• ISO 17025 accreditation

The Environmental Lab



We offer lifetime simulations, measurements and testing against the product requirements & under environmental loadings.

In our laboratories, we evaluate how products withstand mechanical, thermal, chemical, humidity and vibration loading.

We also perform functional lifetime simulation and continuous checking of user interfaces and displays.



Supported test requirements/standards:

• IEC 60068-2-X

• VW 80000 (electrical and electronic assemblies in motor vehicles)

• LV 124/214

• Ford WDS 00.00EA-D11-22

• EN 60512-5-2



Thermal/Humidity/Radiation/Chemical:

• Temperature range: -80°C .. 200°C

• Temperature shock: change velocity < 10 sec; -75°C <-> 200°C

• Humidity range: 10% .. 98%

• Change velocity: up to 10K/min

• Solar radiation: Sol 2000 combined with climatic chamber

• Infra-red camera & set up

• Corrosion tests (salt mist)



Mechanical:

• Two B&K V850-440 Shaker; Horizontal & vertical vibration table:All vibrations: sine over random, sinus, random & shock (with and without climatic chamber)

Performance Parameters and Characteristics:- Sine Force (peak) 22.2 kN, Random Force (rms) 22.2 kN- Mech. Shock 100G 11ms- Maximum displacement of 50.8 millimeters

• Free fall with high speed camera

• Force path tester for operating and breaking force

• 6-axis robot test system



Further, our engineers help interpreting the results, recommending possible changes and enhancements.

Failure Analysis:

We uncover the module or functional block that is causing failures. In our failure analysis lab, our experienced engineers are able to analyze the possible failures by:

• Cutting, grinding, polishing to prepare cross sections

• Thermal cameras/high speed camera

• High resolution stereo microscopes

• X-ray


The Audio & Acoustics Lab



We evaluate the speech quality and audio performance of your products in order to meet the customer expectations by measuring according to international standards and subjective evaluation.

Either in the automotive environment or in our large anechoic chamber, we provide a comprehensive audio and acoustic testing bandwidth.



• ISO 17025 accreditation (ETSI TS 126.131/132)

• Advanced speech quality measurements according to network operator specific requirements; recognized test laboratory

• Narrow band audio and wide band audio (HD voice) verification and evaluation

• Hands-free microphone evaluation and positioning

• Acoustic safety according to EN 50332

• Environmental noise simulation according to ETSI 202 396-1

• Noise simulation in the car environment



• VDA specification for car hands-free terminals (v1.6)

• Integrated car hands-free and retrofit solutions

• ITU-T P.1100 und ITU-T P.1110 Hands-free communication in vehicles (e.g. used for Apple CarPlay®Certification)

• ITU-T P.1140 : Speech communication requirements for emergency calls originating from vehicles

• GOST R 55531 Hands-free communication in vehicles for emergency systems (ERA / Glonass)

We analyze your home and office multimedia devices, wired and wireless accessories, Bluetooth devices, mobile phones and car hands-free/stereo systems.
