WORK GROUP 5, ENVIRONMENTAL TESTS

Mission

WG 5 acts as a cooperative forum, which is concerned with matters of electrical and electronic products' tolerance to environmental stress.
Activities include defining environmental factors and their severity levels, specifying environmental conditions where the products are exposed to, as well as testing how the products tolerate the stress caused by environment.
Answers are searched for the questions e.g. what kind of tests are preferable in the phases of product development process and what sort of failure mechanisms in products are to expect.
The expertise of WG 5 covers broad part of Finnish expert knowledge in this field. Persons and their organizations, active in the working group, are encouraged to gain control of the subjects in question. This further facilitates to improve the products' reliability.

Forms of activity are:

  • frequent meetings

  • informing the background communities and organizations backing  
  • being in contact with interest groups (e.g. observing standards)
  • commenting on research project
  • participating research project
