Products Credibility Activities

We would set test item and sample depend on not only intended use or usage environment for devices also novelty and priority of products, then we would test reliability evaluation. We would curry out a environment test and mechanical test according to product type. The product specificity is considered in order to adapt various product type and the test condition is set accordingly.
