Earthquake and Vibration Tests on Base Stations in Korea Conducted by SGS
SGS successfully conducted complex earthquake and vibration tests on six base stations in its laboratory in Korea for a manufacturer of electrical communication systems on June 15-30, 2011.
(firmenpresse) - SGS, the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, was awarded a contract to conduct comprehensive earthquake and vibration tests on six base stations in its laboratory in Korea, for a manufacturer of electrical communication systems on June 15-30, 2011. As the only private testing company with earthquake testing equipment in the country, SGS provides a value-added service by contributing to a minimization of damage and risks in the event of an earthquake.
SGS Industrial Services performed the lab tests with the Telcordia GR-63 CORE testing method in order to ensure the top quality of the base stations and contribute to the minimization of damage and risks in the event of an earthquake.
With its team of highly skilled experts, the SGS laboratory carried out measurements of displacement of the test sample and bolt strain as well as provided performance checks and structural integrity evaluations. During an earthquake test, which normally takes up to 30 minutes, SGS experts check the performance of the base stations, mount them on test equipment and perform a resonance search. Having completed these steps, the team of experts conducts earthquake tests in accordance with IEEE 344, IEC 60068-2-57, IEC 60068-3-3 and NEBS (GR-63 CORE) international standards, identifies resonance and repeats the performance checks.
After completing an earthquake test, SGS provides a test report, which includes analyzed data such as Required Response Spectrum (RRS), Test Response Spectrum (TRS), frequency and acceleration, a performance checklist and resonance search data. In addition, SGS’s team of experts provides data for displacement measurements of the sample during the test, a calibration report for the test equipment, measuring equipment, accelerometers, sensors and the test results.
The SGS laboratory performs earthquake tests in accordance with IEC international standards, accredited by the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS), both for local and international clients.
