About this field
Environmental testing (heat, humidity, vibration), non-destructive testing (NDT), particle analysis and certification of testing personnel. IEC/TC 104 and ISO/TC 135 are the main committees.
Test results are the technical evidence in export files: environmental test reports for electronics, and ISO 9712-certified NDT personnel for steel structures, welds and pressure equipment.
