Fungus Testing
With a USDA approved, on-staff mycologist, our fungus resistance testing — also known as non-nutrient growth testing — is ideal for products intended for use in warm and humid climates. Since fungal growth is known to impede mechanical, electrical and optical functions — as well as pose certain infection and health risks — it is an imperative test to conduct.
Our fungus testing services are designed to meet a myriad of US and European standards including: MIL-STD-810 Method 508; RTCA-DO-160 Section 13; ASTM G-21; ASTM C1338 and other ASTM standards; MIL-PRF-28800; SAE J1455; AATCC TM 30 Test I, Test II, Test III and Test IV; ANSI A136.1 Section 6.4; GM 9328P; IPC-TM-650 and other IPC test methods for circuit board materials; Whirlpool T331; Whirlpool TCP-126; JSS 55555; Tappi T487 — and other custom fungus tests.
Hail/Stone Impact Testing
When you consider the damage hail impact can cause to vital equipment like aircraft windshields, you understand the importance of hail/stone impact testing. At NTS Tinton Falls, we have the capability of simulating real-world impacts that can occur at speeds in excess of 600 mph and at temperatures of -20°C or lower. In addition, our high-speed video system allows us to conduct all necessary fracture and failure analyses to aid in the robust design and development of your product.
Our hail/stone impact testing methods are designed to comply with ASTM F320, ASTM E822, ASTM E1038, FM 4470 and FM 4473 standards.
International Approvals and Certification
Getting your product into international markets can be difficult—particularly during a pandemic. Plus, geopolitical dynamics fundamentally change the type of markings you might need to get your product into a new country. In the UK, for example, Brexit means that you will need a UKCA marking to sell your product. Meanwhile, new criteria for your product in Russia, Ukraine, India, Brazil, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates is necessary. Are you aware of these changes? The good news is that a team of experts is dedicated to helping you track every minor change to help you secure regulatory approval in global markets. The goal is to streamline the process for entering international markets to avoid delays and duplicative testing. The international approval services include the following:
- A Single-Point-of-Contact for 180 Countries
- In-country Testing and Approvals
- Globally Recognized Test Reports
- In-Country Representation
