A powerful tool for finding and eliminating latent defects, an ESS test (Environmental Stress Screening) can reduce the number and severity of defects across a product’s lifespan.
What is an Environmental Stress Screen ESS test?
ESS tests are widely used in both military and civilian programs as efficient and effective ways to ensure the safety and performance of finished electronic products.
What is the difference between HASS and ESS?
While our ESS test services focus on testing electrical equipment under normal conditions, HALT & HASS testing expose products to extreme temperature conditions, ensuring that they perform above and beyond their rated limits.
ESS test procedure at ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½
Our experts will work with you to design an ESS test that accurately simulates the working conditions of your product. By combining multiple environmental factors into a single test, we can help you meet your project requirements by saving you time, money and potential product failures.

At ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, some of the conditions we test include:
- Vibration
- Shock
- High temperature
- Low temperature
- Altitude
- Humidity
Our HALT/HASS testing capabilities
Using extreme environmental simulation, our HALT and HASS testing programs push components to the limit to ensure product quality and reliability.
Our HALT/HASS testing capabilities include:
- Vibration from 5 – 5,000 Hz
- Up to 50 g shock with 6 degrees of freedom
- Temperature range of -100 – 200 C
- Up to 98% RH
The ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ advantage
Combining a variety of environmental methods into a single program, our experts can design an ESS test that simulates the working conditions of your equipment.
