Roush opens Advanced Durability Lab19AUTP10_1210/01/2019
The auto industry's steady march toward electrified and automated vehicles has many suppliers affixed to the digital-testing environment rather than using traditional hardware validation. With a six-degrees of freedom road simulator as its centerpiece, the recently-opened Roush Advanced Durability Lab in Livonia, Michigan is a trend-buster. “If suppliers and vehicle manufacturers aren't going to reinvest in certain hardware solutions because their product-development focus is software solutions, there will be a gap. That's an opportunity for us,” claimed Jeff Johnston, Roush's president of testing services.

SAE STANDARDS NEWS19AUTP08_1001/01/2019
SAE International and the German Institute for Standardization (DIN) released DINSAE Spec 91381, “Terms and Definitions Related to Testing of Automated Vehicle Technologies” in June. The standard marks the first time the two standards development organizations (SDOs) have partnered to develop a bilingual (German/English) specification on automated vehicle (AV) technologies. The collaboration is part of the International Alliance for Mobility Testing and Standardization (IAMTS) consortium and more than 50 partners, including OEMs, test track operators, research organizations, and tier-one suppliers, including terminology groups from the European research project L3PILOT and the German national research project PEGASUS.

Medical Device Testing: Start With a Strategy and PlanTBMG-813107/01/2010
Most medical device manufacturers must first receive approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before they can market a medical device. Device manufacturers must demonstrate that their device is safe and effective for the intended application. The tests that must be performed vary with the device, application of the device, and components of the device, such as coatings, as well as the length of time that the device may be used in a patient. To prevent delays in the FDA review process, manufacturers must ensure that they complete the necessary tests and avoid wasting time on tests that are not required or do not add to the assurance of safety of the product.

Less Is “More”: Can You Trust Your Ears II2000-01-007803/06/2000
In a 1998 SAE presentation Richard Stroud of Delco Electronics showed that ‘more’ of anything related to audio (loudness, equalization, et. al.) is often considered to be ‘better’ by untrained listeners1 This paper discusses the human mechanisms that influence the effect and concludes that independent professional evaluation is the best alternative for preserving quality of listening evaluations.

Microbiological Certification Requirements for Non-Human Research on Space Station Freedom92141607/01/1992
Space Station Freedom offers an opportunity to study in depth the long-term effects of microgravity on the basic biology of animals and plants, an area of great importance to the permanent presence of man in space. NASA has long recognized the significance of spaceflight research using non-human biospecimens in understanding these broad aspects of gravitational biology. To this end, plants and small animals have flown on manned and unmanned missions since 1965, including the highly successful Spacelab Life Sciences-1 (SLS-1) mission in June 1991. To minimize the potential for problems related to the inflight exchange of microbes between crew members and research biospecimens, NASA has established a policy of microbiological certification of animals designated to fly on NASA manned missions. The Human Research Policy and Procedures Committee at the Johnson Space Center administers this policy. Spacelab-3 (May 1985) and subsequent Shuttle flights involving animals have provided valuable

Synthetic Life Testing of Automobile Electrical Equipment68012602/01/1968
The need for synthetic life testing as an aid to early decisions in new product design and development is discussed. Means of collating vehicle usage and operating regime data and the statistical determination of population parameters from a small number of test vehicles are shown and used as a basis for the formulation of synthetic life test schedules. Special-purpose and multienvironmental laboratory facilities designed to operate over a range of up-rated test levels are illustrated and the need is shown for obtaining correlation between the results of synthetic life testing and the predictions of service failure patterns obtained by road testing.

Product Safety Testing and Labeling66042902/01/1966
The Yacht Safety Bureau is an independent, nonprofit, public service organization engaged only in testing for public safety in the boating field. The testing services are for end products only. Its object is to make certain that marine equipment measured for safe operation performs as intended. In order to accomplish this, the Bureau's safety evaluation program provides a reference base to which the measurement of a product can be related (safety testing standards), the means for accomplishing the measurement (safety testing), and the means for informing the public that the measurement has been met (product listing and labeling).
