Accredited Climatic Testing: Temperature and Humidity
At EMC Technologies, we provide climatic environmental programs using state-of-the-art advanced temperature humidity test chamber systems.
Our laboratories in Melbourne and Sydney perform controlled temperature cycling, humidity conditioning and combined climatic profiles to assess how products behave when exposed to heat, cold, moisture and long-term environmental stress.
Understanding Climatic Environmental Testing
Climatic evaluation helps to determine whether a product can withstand likely temperature and humidity conditions it may encounter during storage, transport or operation. These factors can influence reliability, material stability, electrical performance and product lifespan.
High and Low Temperature Testing
High and low temperature assessment is carried out using programmable chambers that apply controlled testing temp profiles. These conditions simulate extreme heat, sub-zero cold and rapid changes in temperature to identify mechanical, structural or functional issues.
This testing is suitable for plastics, metals, defence equipment and consumer products.
Humidity and Moisture Resistance Testing
Humidity testing examines how products respond to moisture, condensation and high relative humidity cycles.
At EMC Technologies, our facilities use an environmental test chamber to simulate warm, humid and moisture-saturated environments that can cause corrosion, swelling, leakage, electrical faults or degradation of coatings and materials.
Our programs include steady state humidity or combined temperature and humidity profiles.
Our Climatic Test Chamber Facilities
At EMC Technologies, we operate multiple climatic chambers. Our systems can perform combined climate test profiles that integrate temperature cycling, humidity conditioning and extended dwell periods.
Our sites are equipped with calibrated instrumentation, ensuring that our temperature humidity test chamber systems deliver consistent and traceable results.

What Failure Modes Does Climatic Testing Prevent?
Climatic testing helps to identify many environmental stress failure modes, including:
- Seal or gasket leakage
- Cracking, deformation or warping of plastics
- Corrosion or oxidation due to humidity testing conditions
- Electrical drift or malfunction under varying testing temp profiles
- Coating breakdown or material softening
- Moisture ingress and condensation related failures
At EMC Technologies, we reproduce real-world environmental challenges inside an environmental test chamber to detect issues before products reach the field.

FAQs about Climatic, Temperature and Humidity Testing
What is a temperature and humidity test?
A temperature and humidity evaluation uses a controlled temperature and humidity testing chamber to assess how products handle combined environmental stress conditions.
What is a hot and cold test?
A hot and cold test or assessment subjects the sample to alternating testing temp extremes to identify temperature-related mechanical or functional issues.
Can you test a large product in your chamber?
Absolutely. Our Melbourne and Sydney sites both have large climatic chamber facilities suitable for bigger items, racks or assembled units.
What is the benefit of dual (NATA / A2LA) accreditation?
Dual accreditation ensures our laboratory methods meet both national and international proficiency requirements, offering greater confidence in compliance outcomes.
