HALT / HASS: Make It, Break It, and Fix It Before Release

To help quantify product value and define quality to include performance, reliability, conformance, durability, and fitness for use, Esterline Interface Technologies conducts Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) and Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) test and analysis processes—before any product goes into production.

HALT is a widely accepted methodology in the electronics manufacturing industry. Published studies on HALT chamber usage document that field failures of products within their first year of use have been lowered from >10% to less than 1%. Reliability and Test services and certifications include:

• Certified Reliability Engineering
