Reliability verification

Reliability Verification or Reliability Testing is a method to evaluate the reliability of the product in all environments such as expected use, transportation, or storage during the specified lifespan. It is to expose the product to natural or artificial environmental conditions to undergo its action to evaluate the performance of the product under the environmental conditions of actual use, transportation, and storage, and to analyze and study the degree of influence of environmental factors and their mechanism of action. Through the use of various environmental test equipment to simulate the high temperature, low temperature, and high humidity, and temperature changes in the climate environment, to accelerate the reaction of the product in the use environment, to verify whether it reaches the expected quality in R&D, design, and manufacturing.

Description

Reliability verification is also called reliability testing, which refers to the use of modeling, statistics, and other methods to evaluate the reliability of the product based on the product's life span and expected performance.

Testing Method

A systematic approach to reliability testing is to, first, determine reliability goal, then do tests that are linked to performance and determine the reliability of the product. A reliability verification test in modern industries should clearly determine how they relate to the product's overall reliability performance and how individual tests impact the warranty cost and customer satisfaction.

Hardware

Hardware Reliability Verification includes temperature and humidity test, mechanical vibration test, shock test, collision test, drop test, dustproof and waterproof test, and other environmental reliability tests.

Growth in safety-critical applications for automotive electronics significantly increases the IC design reliability challenge.
