NAITEC Areas of Expertise
Validation Engineering
The validation and testing process is essential for developing and commercializing any product.
At NAITEC, our role goes beyond simply performing tests. We provide guidance and technological support throughout all stages of product development to ensure it is more competitive and sustainable.
At the Validation Engineering area, we generate the knowledge that enables the expansion of NAITEC’s technological offerings, accreditations, and certifications.
We provide expert advice on materials (metallic, polymeric, composite, functional materials…) to develop new products, parts, and components, replace materials, reduce weight, and improve performance, durability, and sustainability.
We also offer guidance and conduct tests for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrical safety in compliance with CE marking standards.
We analyze the durability of components under structural, climatic, noise, and vibration conditions through validation on test benches, tailored to various industrial sectors and compliant with specific regulations.
We perform environmental impact assessments using the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) methodology for products and processes.
