Seismic qualification test specifications

The group can perform seismic qualification testing to all relevant standards.

Testing to the following codes

  • BELLCORE – GR-63-CORE
  • ETSI EN 300 019-2-3
  • IEC 60068-2-57
  • IEEE-87
  • IEEE 344 
  • IEEE 693

The group can also perform custom tests. Some typical test sequences are:

Triaxial Shakes:

  • 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 140% (and back down)
  • 5 at 25%, 1 at 100%, 1 at 140%
  • 5 at OBE, 1 DBE, 1 SSE
  • Other combinations are possible
  • Shakes more than 100% are used to check for “cliff edge” effects

Single Axis Shakes:

  • 100% in each axis
