MSASPL provides cold testing support for electronic and electrical products that need to be evaluated at defined low-temperature conditions. Cold exposure can help reveal startup limitations, material contraction effects, display or sensor changes, connector behaviour and electrical instability that may not be visible at normal room temperature.
Electrostatic discharge may cause product reset, display flicker, communication failure, software hang, sensor error or permanent component damage. ESD testing helps identify weaknesses in product design before formal certification or market release.
What is cold
Testing?
Cold testing exposes the DUT to a controlled low ambient temperature for an agreed duration. The product may be evaluated for storage robustness, cold start, continuous operation, functional stability or recovery, depending on the requirement.
Why low-temperature
testing matters
Low temperature can alter battery and power-supply performance, change component characteristics, stiffen materials and seals, affect displays and sensors, and expose mechanical or electrical weaknesses caused by contraction.

Standards and test-plan
reference
Where applicable, the test plan may reference IEC 60068-2-1:2025, Environmental testing – Part 2-1: Tests – Test A: Cold. The product specification should define the required severity, conditioning time and operating state.
