At Austest Laboratories, our experienced team specialise in environmental testing services designed to simulate real-world conditions and validate product performance, durability, and compliance.
We provide enviro testing processes that give you the data and assurance needed to meet regulatory and sector-specific standards, across industries such as defence, aerospace, transport and industrial markets.
Our Environmental Testing Services
We cover a wide range of environmental testing services, all delivered from our purpose-built facilities in NSW.
We offer specialist testing solutions across mechanical, climatic and shock/vibration disciplines, all backed by formal A2LA and ILAC MRA accreditation.
Mechanical & Dynamic Testing
Simulating real-world physical stresses including tensile force, compression, torsion, impact and bending. This testing method is ideal for verifying mechanical integrity over a product’s lifecycle.
- NATA-accredited mechanical testing
- Custom fixtures and dynamic load setups
- Used across aerospace, transport and defence
Climatic Testing
We simulate heat, cold, humidity, solar exposure and altitude using advanced climatic test chamber systems, from standard cycles to complex combined tests.
- Temperature ranges from -185°C to +150°C
- Unique ultra-low humidity testing capability (2%RH)
- Climatic/altitude, climatic/vibration and other hybrid tests
Shock & Vibration Testing
Assisting manufacturers to understand how products respond to sudden impacts or prolonged vibration across land, sea and air. Facilities include bare-table shock, drop, bounce and high-g random vibration capabilities.
- Acceleration up to 600G
- MIL STD and other defence standard testing
- Used across transport, aerospace and packaging validation
Regulatory and Compliance Standards for Environmental Testing
Environmental testing supports a wide range of compliance frameworks across various industries.
Depending on the product, application testing may be required to demonstrate performance, reliability and safety under specific conditions. Typical standards include:
MIL-STD-810G
Defence standard covering environmental and mechanical stress across harsh conditions.
MIL-STD-202
Environmental and electrical testing for electronic and electrical component parts (used in defence applications).
MIL-STD-883
Environmental testing methods and microelectronic devices in military and aerospace applications.
RTCA DO-160
Aerospace standard for airborne equipment performance in temperature, altitude, humidity and shock.
IEC/EN/AS 60068 Series
Core environmental testing framework for electronics and general equipment.
ISTA 3A/ASTM D4169
Packaging and transport tests to simulate real-world shipping environments.
ISO 16750/ GMW14650
Automotive requirements covering temperature, vibration, and electrical conditions.
AS/NZS and BS/EN
Localised standards for lighting, safety systems, medical devices and industrial products.
