Accelerated Aging Testing Services

Accelerated Aging

Accelerated aging uses aggravated conditions of heat, humidity, vibration, and other environmental stimuli to help determine the long-term effects of expected levels of stress in a much shorter time frame. These tests cycle through stages of applied stresses causing materials to react as they would over a long period of storage or shipment to help verify shelf-life and storage performance.

Accelerated aging tests help determine product storage requirements as well as establish acceptable parameters for products and package expiration dates. Accelerated aging can also help determine the expected life-cycle of products and assemblies.

ASTM F1980- Standard Guide for Accelerated Aging of Sterile Barrier Systems for Medical Devices

This guide provides information for developing accelerated aging protocols to rapidly determine the effects, if any, due to the passage of time on the sterile integrity of the sterile barrier system (SBS) and the physical properties of their component packaging materials.
