EMC Testing
A whole suite of EMC tests can be performed on one site, including radiated EMC testing in semi-anechoic chambers and conducted EMC and transient testing in specially screened rooms.
Climatics
Our climatic environmental testing capabilities encompass a wide range of assessments designed to ensure durability and performance under extreme conditions.This includes extreme climatic conditions, ranging from desert dryness and dust to damp tropical heat and sub-zero temperatures.
Vibration
Our vibration environmental testing capabilities cover a comprehensive range of evaluations to ensure reliability under dynamic conditions. These include vibration measurement and frequency analysis, as well as various test types such as Sine, Random, Sine-on-Random, Gunfire, Shock, and Bump.
Materials Testing
ZES provides reliability and materials analysis services to enable its clients to improve the operating performance and integrity of electronic and electromechanical products.
Prototyping and Instrumentation
We are able to apply creativity and prototyping skills to many different engineering applications in order to convert a need or an idea into a physical reality. Work can be performed from a wide range of requirements specifications - including verbal descriptions, sketches, engineering drawings and CAD files.
Testing and validation of products is critical at each stage of product development to ensure the safe and efficient path to product launch. With ISO 17025 accreditation (UKAS Testing Laboratory 0332), we are highly experienced in the areas of EMC validation, environmental testing, instrumentation, advanced validation and prototype design and manufacture.
