HALT and HASS Analysis

HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing) and HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screening) are accelerated product reliability test methods focused on finding product design flaws prior to production.

HALT testing is based on applied methodology and analytical expertise. These accelerated product life tests provide answers to durability questions in a timely manner. Years of product duty service can be compressed into weeks or even days using the HALT methodology. The NTS process ensures that HALT testing illuminates all targeted failure modes and avoids causing unintended failures. We confer with your internal experts to determine the most likely failure points and then target our loading to excite those areas and insulate other failure modes from the analysis.

HASS allows you to monitor your product quality before it ships, reducing the risk of product failures in the field. NTS can develop and specify tests to monitor critical aspects of your product's production and service challenges. HASS testing allows you to catch and implement required process and design changes, reduce warranty costs, and mitigate field failures. Our vast base of experience in this field and our wide array of test apparatuses allow us to independently verify and validate your production quality. NTS can also determine MTBF and sampling requirements and calculate the probability and level of confidence that those samples guarantee.
