ISO 9022-22 Optical and Photonics - Combined Cold - Vibration Temperature Change Test

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 9022-22 testing. ISO 9022-22 specifies methods for testing optical instruments, including additional assemblies from other fields (e.g. mechanical, chemical and electronic devices) under equivalent conditions, for their ability to withstand combined impact or random vibration in cold and dry heat.

The purpose of the test is to investigate the extent to which the optical, thermal, chemical and electrical performance properties of the sample are affected by cold, dry heat or temperature change combined with impact or random vibration.

Optical and photonic instruments remain within their limits while being affected by a number of different environmental and processing parameters that they must resist during use without significant degradation in performance, including additional assemblies from other fields (e.g. mechanical, chemical and electronic devices).

The type and severity of these parameters depend on the conditions of use of the instrument (for example, in the laboratory or workshop) and its geographical location. The environmental effects on optical instrument performance in tropical and subtropical climates are completely different from those found when used in polar regions. Individual parameters cause a variety of different and overlapping effects on instrument performance.

The manufacturer tries to ensure that the tools will withstand the possible rigors of their environment throughout their lifetime, and the user naturally expects this. This expectation can be assessed by the cumulative exposure of the device to a set of simulated environmental parameters under controlled laboratory conditions. The cumulative combination, severity, and sequence of these conditions can be chosen to produce meaningful results in a relatively short period of time.

To allow evaluation and comparison of the response of optical instruments to appropriate environmental conditions, the ISO 9022 series details a series of laboratory tests that reliably simulate a variety of different environments. The tests are largely based on IEC standards, modified as needed to account for optical instrument-specific features.
