RTCA DO-160 Icing Testing performed at Ventura County, Santa Barbara, los Angeles, at Environment Associates, a Orange County Area Southern California Test Lab
Environment Associates has recently upgraded their testing capabilities and can now offer the full range of Icing Testing per RTCA/DO-160, Section 24 (Categories A,B & C). EA has performed testing for all supplier tiers in the aerospace market. This testing includes: vibration, temperature, humidity, acceleration, crash safety, altitude, shock and other critical RTCA DO-160 or MIL-STD tests.
Many of the key manufacturers have their own commercial standards for their specific aerospace electronics and components—for example, Boeing’s D6 standards, Douglas’ WZ standards and Airbus’ Specifications.
If you are a supplier to one of the above aerospace manufacturers and you want to make sure that your critical prototype design is reaching your design targets and is robust, then let us put together an accelerated test plan that best identifies inherent weaknesses.
If you have designed a product that reaches space conditions for NASA, then be a part of our team in testing for the extreme temperatures in space atmospheres.
EA has over forty years of history servicing this industry, performing a wide range of product testing—from cockpit to tail—on electronics, components and systems.

Explosive Atmosphere Testing Laboratory in Southern California at Environment Associates’ Chatsworth Lab

A product that is designed for or could potentially be placed in a hazardous, explosive environment must be evaluated, especially if it could cause the environment to ignite. This is great for products that operate within engine compartments, electrical panels that are mounted in adverse environments, pumps and much more. We can test using almost any mixture of Propane or Hexane gas and can support these tests with altitudes up to 30,000 ft. If you are concerned about your product’s potential risks, see us about putting your test plans in action.
During testing, we can deliver almost any system power, water cooling, hydraulics, compressed air and more for a real-life, active product use test. The chamber is 60” (1.52 M) L x 24” (0.60 M) W x 28” (0.71 M) H and is capable of performing tests to specifications such as MIL-STD-801 and RTCA DO-160.

Medical Device Testing Lab at Environment Associates, Los Angeles, Ventura County, Santa Barbara, Orange County California
Today’s medical equipment is more portable and found in more locations than ever before, such as in emergency vehicles, aircraft and transported by hand. Therefore, medical equipment must go through the same test regimen as any other product for performance and reliability. Tests include: temperature, humidity, vibration, shock, thermal cycling, ISTA package testing and more. At Environment Associates, we offer the utmost care in providing the right tests and resources for your medical devices. With the range of equipment available, we can test from the smallest implantable device to large diagnostic systems. If needed, we can provide various sizes of anthropomorphic test devices (crash dummies) to simulate actual human body positioning and weight for large medical device testing, such as gurneys, boards, straps, that must be tested under real load conditions.
We can supply the appropriate input voltages to support any performance tests, for any use, from commercial to military. EA can provide fixturing, data acquisition and program management for any large test projects.
Some medical manufacturers may require long-term, multiple-year environmental conditioning to ensure that their product performs throughout its expected life. EA has the equipment and the expertise and is currently running extended-life profiles to ensure the integrity of products required to meet health and safety standards.
