PERFORMANCE LABORATORY

NUSDAT-UTS have its own state of performance testing facility equipped with highly advanced and accurate equipment to assure Consistency in Reliable Performance. We got country’s first performance laboratories accredited by BAB to conduct test based on the requirements of energy norms by various countries. The products can be tested at extreme climatic conditions both in terms of high temperature and humidity level.

Why do you need Performance Testing for your Household Products?

To export your product in international market, you’ll need:

  • Certification of the products under different performance standards
  • Proof of the capability of meeting the energy and performance requirements for short term as well as long term service.
 

Which products can be tested at NUSDAT-UTS Performance laboratories?

NUSDAT-UTS has the country’s first accredited refrigerator and air conditioner for performance testing. We have the facilities for testing the following products:

  • Refrigerator
  • Air Conditioner
  • Washing Machine

 

What facilities can NUSDAT-UTS offer for the performance test of Refrigerator?

NUSDAT-UTS has world’s finest technologies for performance testing of Refrigerator. We have 14 working climate chambers for testing more than 100 units at the same time. Each chamber is highly capable of testing the performance of the refrigerator at any given condition for the Temperature Range of -30˚C to +80˚C (with the precision of 0.01˚C) and Humidity Range of 10% to 95%.

 We have testing scopes under these following standards:

  • IEC/EN 62552: 2020

  • SASO 2892: 2018

 

According to these standards, we run more than 50 tests on a Refrigerator before giving clearance. Major tests among them are:

  • Energy Consumption Test – ECT
  • Ice Making Test – IMT
  • Cooling Capacity Test – CCT
  • Freezing Capacity Test – FCT
  • Pull Down Test – PDT
  • Measurement of Volume
  • Temperature Rise Test
