Plastic parts are playing an increasingly important role in electrotechnical applications by combining a variety of functions. Functionalized plastic components not only act as insulators, but also fulfil tasks as heat-conducting elements and thus make a significant contribution to the high performance and efficiency of electronic systems. In order to ensure the intended function and safety of these applications, it is essential to carry out various electrical tests in advance. For this reason, special electrical and dielectric tests are used for plastics and insulating materials, which can ensure that the materials used have specific electrical properties with high measurement accuracy and good reproducibility. These tests not only guarantee the performance, but also the safety and reliability of plastics in a wide range of applications.
Accredited test methods
Non-accredited test methods
Insulation capability:
Plastics are often used as insulating materials in electrical and electronic applications. It is important to ensure that they have sufficient insulating properties to prevent electrical currents and short circuits.
Safety:
Many electrical devices and systems contain plastics that serve as housings or insulators. The dielectric properties of these materials must be tested to ensure that there is no risk of electrical breakdown or other safety hazards.
Aging resistance:
Plastics can age over time due to various environmental influences and stresses. Electrical testing can help to assess the long-term stability and ageing resistance of plastics.
