Testing capabilities
Dry heat and low temperature
The schedule lists separate dry-heat tests up to +170 °C and low-temperature tests down to -60 °C, each with a 0.9 m × 1.0 m × 1.6 m chamber. Exact BS EN 60068, BS EN 60945 and MIL-STD 810H methods and conditions apply.
Change of temperature
BS EN 60068-2-14:2023 Test Na is listed from -60 °C to +170 °C with maximum ramp rate 3 °C/min and a 0.9 m × 1.0 m × 1.6 m chamber. Confirm the required profile and item setup.
Temperature with humidity
Steady-state and cyclic humidity testing has separately stated temperature limits of -60 °C to +170 °C and humidity limits of 15% to 98% RH. These do not establish every simultaneous combination. An unresolved 2025 standard-reference numbering error is omitted without correction.
Solid and liquid ingress protection
BS EN 60529:1992+A2:2013 scope lists solids IP1X to IP6X and liquids IPX1 to IPX8. IPX7 specifies temporary immersion at 1 m. IPX8 lists continuous immersion without a depth or capacity figure. Agree the exact level and conditions.
Mechanical strength and impact
The schedule lists IEC 62368-1 strength tests under clauses T.2, T.4 and T.5, plus impact under T.6. The 2024+A11:2024 impact row specifies horizontal surfaces. These are specified parts of the standard.
Free-fall drop tests
IEC 62368-1 clause T.7 is listed for free-fall drop testing, with maximum item mass 15 kg and maximum drop height 1.3 m. Exact setup and acceptance requirements must be agreed.
Equipment and published limits
| Specification | Published value | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Dry-heat and cold method limits | Dry heat maximum +170 °C, cold minimum -60 °C. Each row lists 0.9 m × 1.0 m × 1.6 m. | Separate scheduled methods and conditions. Chamber dimensions are not a test-item capacity or simultaneous operating envelope. |
| Change of temperature | -60 °C to +170 °C, maximum ramp 3 °C/min, chamber 0.9 m × 1.0 m × 1.6 m | BS EN 60068-2-14:2023 Test Na schedule row. Wider owner chamber ratings are not substituted. |
| Temperature and humidity ranges | Temperature -60 °C to +170 °C, humidity 15% to 98% RH | Separate published ranges, without a guaranteed combined envelope. The humidity dimension has an incomplete final unit and is omitted. |
| Specific ingress conditions | IP4X test wire 1.0 mm diameter, IPX2 tilt up to 15°, IPX7 temporary immersion 1 m | BS EN 60529 schedule rows. IPX8 is continuous immersion with no published depth or item-capacity figure. |
| Free-fall drop limits | Maximum item mass 15 kg, maximum drop height 1.3 m | IEC 62368-1 clause T.7 row only, no transfer to other mechanical or environmental tests. |

- Wider advertised portfolio
- The owner advertises wider climatic ratings and HALT testing. They are separate from the exact scheduled limits retained here and do not establish blanket accreditation.
What to confirm with the facility
- Use the current schedule/register testing address at 19 Witney Road. The owner labels Fleets Point as headquarters. Confirm delivery without inferring a relocation, closure or accreditation status change.
- Confirm the simultaneous temperature/humidity condition. The guide retains separate ranges and omits the humidity dimension with an incomplete final unit and the unresolved 2025 standard-reference numbering error.
- Confirm the exact IP level, immersion depth/duration and drop setup. IPX8 has no depth figure. Maximum 15 kg and 1.3 m apply to the free-fall row only.
- Provide item dimensions, mass, sample quantity, fixtures, operating state, target method and edition, acceptance criteria, reporting needs and preferred dates.

Sources and review
Reviewed by Arc on 1 October 2026 in Europe/London using five fresh official captures. The current exact 28772 register and two-page schedule agree on 19 Witney Road, Poole. Both complete PDF pages were extracted, rendered and visually inspected. Issue 008 is dated 16 September 2026, while PDF creation/modification are 17 September 2026. Current owner contact labels Fleets Point as headquarters, without a relocation inference. Exact scheduled climatic, ingress and mechanical scope replaces the imported ingress-only summary. Humidity ranges remain separate, the incomplete humidity dimension and original 2025 numbering error are preserved in evidence and omitted without correction. IPX8 has no depth guarantee, and drop limits are method-specific. Wider owner equipment ratings and HALT remain outside retained accredited claims. Greg Hole is schedule-listed without a current role claim. Original titles, canonicals, publisher dates, bytes, headers and provenance are retained. Both prior owner/schedule bodies are identical. Imported mirror withdrawal, generic headquarters phone as laboratory contact and postcode coordinates are cleared.

Current four-division maritime engineering homepage links official testing and UK enquiry pages. Product resilience descriptions are not laboratory testing scope or whole-product certification.
Owner explicitly locates testing in Poole and advertises environmental, ingress and mechanical testing plus wider chamber ratings and HALT. Retained quantitative scope follows current schedule 28772. Wider owner ratings and HALT are not transferred into accredited conditions.
Owner labels Fleets Point BH15 3SS and +44 1202 307007 as UK/global headquarters. It supplies a general form with Testing selection, without identifying headquarters as the exact current accredited laboratory. Schedule/register 19 Witney Road address and schedule enquiry are retained.
