BQCIS

Validating Product Longevity Under Real-World Conditions

BQCIS conducts lifecycle and reliability testing to simulate years of usage within controlled laboratory environments. Our programs combine mechanical, thermal, electrical, and environmental stresses to expose potential failure mechanisms early in development.

We apply methodologies such as Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT), Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS), vibration endurance, thermal cycling, and fatigue analysis—designed per IEC, ISO, ASTM, and MIL standards.

This approach allows manufacturers to predict mean time between failure (MTBF), identify weak components, and strengthen design robustness before market release.

Key Activities in Product Lifecycle & Reliability Testing

Test Program Design

Defining test profiles, load cycles, and environmental stress parameters aligned with actual use conditions.

Accelerated Life Simulation

Combining thermal, vibration, and electrical stresses to replicate years of product service in weeks.

HALT/HASS Execution

Determining operational and destruct limits through step-stress testing to identify design margins.

Thermal & Vibration Endurance

Applying cyclic temperature and mechanical loads to assess fatigue, solder joint reliability, and structural integrity.

Electrical Reliability Assessment

Evaluating insulation resistance, dielectric breakdown, and contact reliability under sustained voltage loads.

Environmental Stress Testing

Exposure to humidity, dust, and salt atmosphere to simulate real-world degradation effects.

Failure Analysis

Root-cause investigation using microscopy, spectroscopy, and fracture analysis to identify failure mechanisms.

Reliability Data Reporting

Statistical life data analysis and Weibull plotting for quantified reliability metrics.

Certification & Compliance Support

Providing accredited test reports to support product certification and demonstrate compliance with performance standards.

Key Benefits of Lifecycle & Reliability Testing

Success Story

Reliability Qualification for Automotive Control Module

The Challenge:

An automotive electronics supplier required endurance validation for a control module exposed to engine bay temperature and vibration cycles.

Our Solution:

BQCIS executed HALT/HASS procedures per IEC 60068 and OEM specs, combining vibration and thermal cycling to simulate five years of field life.

The Result:

Failure-free performance across all samples confirmed design readiness for mass production. Customer used data for OEM qualification and warranty submission.
