EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of ISO 9022-11 testing. ISO 9022-11 specifies methods for environmental testing of optical devices, including additional assemblies from other fields (e.g. mechanical, chemical and electronic devices) under equivalent conditions, for their ability to resist the influence of mold growth.
However, complete devices or assemblies are only tested in exceptional cases as specified in ISO 9022-11. Normally representative samples are used for testing, such as mounted optics, material samples, or surface coatings on representative samples.
The tests described in ISO 9022-11 are designed for the selection of materials and components for tools likely to be used in an environment conducive to mold growth, rather than for regular production control. The purpose of the test is to investigate to what extent the optical, climatic, mechanical, chemical and electrical (including electrostatic) performance properties of the sample are affected by mold growth.
Additionally, the tests in ISO 9022-11 are designed to evaluate the extent to which metabolic waste products (such as enzymes or acids) secreted by fungi cause wear, corrosion or short circuits, for example on printed circuit boards.
The manufacturer strives to ensure that the devices withstand the possible rigors of the environment throughout their lifetime, and the user naturally expects this. This expectation can be evaluated by exposing the device to a set of simulated environmental parameters under controlled laboratory conditions. The severity of these conditions is often increased to achieve meaningful results in a relatively short period of time.
To enable evaluation and comparison of the response of optical devices to suitable environmental conditions, IS0 9022 details a series of laboratory tests that reliably simulate a variety of different environments. The tests are largely based on IEC standards and have been modified where necessary to take into account optical device-specific features.
