Earthquake Resistance Test

Simulate actual/artificial seismic vibrations and offer necessary data for products that require aseismic capacity

 

Earthquake waves for earthquake-resistance tests

We can perfectly simulate the seismic waves of the Great East Japan Earthquake, which is difficult for other companies, as well as both displacement and acceleration.

  • Great East Japan : 2011

  • Hanshin-Awaji : 1995

  • Niigata-Chuetsu : 2004

  • Off-Kushiro : 1993
  • El Centro : 1940
  • Tuft : 1952

Artificial earthquake waves for earthquake-resistance tests

Earthquake Waves pplicable for
NTT Artificial Earthquake Waves Issue December 1998 Standard earthquake-resistance tests for communications equipment to be stowed in the NTT buildings
NEBS (GR-63-CORE zone 4) Issue October 1, 1995 Earthquake-resistance tests for networking equipment
EN300019-2-3 Chapter4.2 European Telecommunication Standards earthquake-resistant designs for outdoors
EN300019-2-4 Chapter4.2 European Telecommunication Standards earthquake-resistant designs for outdoors
IEC61587-2 Earthquake-resistance tests for racks, etc.

Examples

For a manufacturer of electrical equipment, we conducted a performance test on the packing and stowing method of electrical equipment by simulating vibration during transportation.

Please see the video at the right side: Examples of the earthquake-resistance tests simulating Great East Japan, Hanshin-Awaji, and Niigata-Chuetsu.

Order

If you do not have an order form from your company, please use our order form.
After receipt of a firm order, we will officially fix the test date.

Cancellation Fee

If you would like to cancel the test or change the date after the test date has been fixed, we will charge a cancellation fee as shown in the following percentages of the total amount of our quotation.

  • For cancellations two months to one month prior to the fixed test date: 50%
  • For cancellations one month or less prior to the fixed test date: 100%

Payment Terms

After receipt of our invoice, payment in cash must be made by the end of the next month.
Half the amount of the test fee might be required as advance payment for first-time customers.
