To stand out from their competitors, meet customer specifications (<i>low noise limit, acoustic discretion</i>) or regulatory requirements (<i>Noise Directive 2000/14/EC, Machine Directive 2006/42/EC</i>...), manufacturers need to know the noise levels of their products. LNE meets this need by measuring sound pressure or power, in particular to ISO 3744 standard, under COFRAC* accreditation.

Materials and packaging materials may come into contact with to food, medicines or cosmetics or othermore they are used in industrial environments (medical, buildings). LNE can provide you with its expertise and skills to qualify or assess the performance of your products and materials in the field of gas or water vapour transfer phenomena.

LNE develops standards and carries out intelligent systems evaluations in order to provide its customers with reliable benchmarks and results to qualify their systems and to make pragmatic and reasoned decision-making possible.

Transportation simulation testing serves to evaluate the behavior of both the product and its packaging when subjected to myriad constraints relative to the distribution cycle. The objective herein is to replicate the most unfavorable distribution cycle as a means of guaranteeing product integrity until ultimate delivery to the end user.

The determination of protection indices, as provided by electrical installation envelopes, yields an evaluation of the access to hazardous zones, the penetration of foreign solid bodies and water penetration (code: IP), as well as the degree of product protection against mechanical shocks (code: IK).

The LNE Laboratory is equipped with many test benches for measuring the heat resistance of materials over a temperature range extending from -150°C to +500°C, in addition to a reference thermal conductivity measurement test bench covering the 0°-60°C range. In addition, LNE makes the connection test pieces available for purchase.

Tests conducted within the field of Climate Engineering encompass the set of measurements necessary to establish combustion and energy consumption evaluations, in the aim of determining the overall performance of various types of systems (heat pumps, heating devices). These resources are also deployed in testing the safety of using an array of product types, like smoke exhaust ducts, ethanol combustion chambers and charcoal-fired barbecues.

Vibration tests are among the set of environmental tests that contribute to evaluating the reliability, resistance and accelerated aging of industrial products used in multiple sectors, including auto manufacturing, energy and aerospace. These tests serve to assess the mechanical behavior of products under both normal and severe operating conditions. They successfully incorporate into a comprehensive qualification and characterization program the set of equipment ancillary to testing conducted on electromagnetic compatibility, climate, electricity, etc...
