For 20 years, ERI instructors have been helping automotive engineers measure, analyze and understand their over-the-road and off-road environments in terms of potential damage to on-board electronic and other equipment. And to use that understanding to develop more rugged products. And to implement appropriate environmental tests so that failures will occur in the lab, not while being driven by customers.

Climatic environmental tests? Mostly climatic chambers stressing automotive hardware with hot and cold emperature extremes, humidity, sunlight, sand-and-dust, sometimes salt spray, altitude.

Dynamic environmental tests? Our greatest emphasis has been on the mechanical shocks of automobile crashes, also the near-sinusoidal inputs of rail transport and the random vibration of terrain inputs to road and off-road vehicles.


Here are outlines whose variations have been given on site to numerous automobile and automotive parts manufactures:
