Vienna (pts018/21.10.2025/10:30) - Environmental simulation tests (https://en.tuv.at/environmental-simulations/) are important for manufacturers because they ensure the reliability and durability of products under realistic environmental conditions such as heat, cold, rain, snow and other climatic conditions.

Machines, devices, parts and components are tested under extreme conditions in eight ultra-modern, flexible climate chambers: TÜV AUSTRIA CEO Dr. Stefan Haas: "We are not only creating innovation, but also perspectives and a strong signal for the future."

Whether heat pumps, sensitive electronic devices or fast charging stations – the demands on modern products are constantly increasing. TÜV AUSTRIA's environmental simulations help to master these challenges. Even complex scenarios such as icing under normal pressure or in aviation-like conditions can be simulated precisely. For example, the expansion of water in cold conditions is used specifically to test the load-bearing capacity of test specimens.

A special highlight of the event, which was attended by over 100 representatives from industry and research , were the live demonstrations of environmental simulations, which were complemented by a guided tour of the TÜV AUSTRIA Technology & Innovation Center in Vienna-Liesing. The guests were given an insight into key testing areas such as electromagnetic compatibility testing (https://en.tuv.at/emc-testing/), mechanical component testing (https://en.tuv.at/mechanical-testing-laboratory-and-workshop/) and industrial computed tomography (https://en.tuv.at/ict-industrial-computed-tomography/).

Environmental simulations: Milestone for TÜV AUSTRIA

The opening marks a milestone for TÜV AUSTRIA and underlines the role of the Austrian group of companies with locations in 40 countries as a reliable partner for safety, quality and innovation.

Key technical data of the new environmental simulation facilities

* Temperatures from -40° C to 160° C
* Relative humidity in the positive temperature range from 10 % to 97 %
* Corrosion tests, salt spray test
* Quality and usage tests of galvanizing and coating (Qualisteelcoat, Qualicoat, Qualanod)
* IP protection class test
* IK impact test
* Environmental tests in conjunction with complex mechanical, electrical and electronic tests
