We test your products to meet reality.

Nowadays, technical products must meet high demands regarding:

  • Reliability
  • Robustness
  • Durability
  • Compliance with regulations


Mature test procedures are essential for the products in order to meet these demands, thus demonstrating functional capability and behaviour under the environmental conditions that occur during the real product life cycle.

IABG is capable of performing most environmental tests, all in one hand.

  • Broad spectrum of applications
  • High performance, competitive facilities
  • Professional expertise


Our tests are in line with German and international standard test regulations such as

  • MIL-STD 810
  • RTCA/DO-160
  • Manufacturer-specific requirements such as those of Airbus Industries or Eurocopter
  • Automotive industry requirements
  • Individual customer requirements


If required, we will also analyse the operating conditions of your product, and devise an individual test programme for product qualification based on this analysis.

You will reap the benefits of the valuable innovations brought about by our performance in product qualification.

Magnetic Test

Measurement and generation of magnetic precision fields

The permanent presence of the Earth’s magnetic field turns it into an important physical parameter whose impact on aerospace activities must be taken into account. Magnetic fields play a vital role in satellite attitude control as well as in numerous scientific experiments.

Even in modern aeronautics, classic magnetic compasses are used in emergencies. They must not be affected by nearby equipment. In our unique magnetic field simulation facility (MFSA), magnetic fields are generated and measured with high precision using a tri-axial combination of 12 coils in total, with a side length of 15m.

The impact of direct and alternating magnetic fields must be taken into account during operations in heavy industrial environments. For this purpose, we use additional coil systems of various sizes to test immunity in mid-sized and small objects.
