Accelerated Aging, also known as accelerated shelf-life testing, is a standard practice in several different industries. The test determines the effects of time, if any, by subjecting samples to elevated temperatures. Westpak has conducted Accelerated Aging on medical devices, food, and consumer packaged goods, to name a few product types.
The Accelerated Aging process is based on the relationship between temperature and chemical reaction rate, in which the reaction rate increases as temperature rises. Accelerated Aging fuses higher temperatures to accelerate the aging process by representing Real-Time Aging artificially. Manufacturers can utilize the results of Accelerated Aging as justification to get their product to market faster and establish necessary safety and efficiency assurance. Real-Time and Accelerated Aging studies must be performed in parallel to completion and the claimed shelf life of the product.
Westpak’s accredited lab facilities offer Accelerated Aging testing per ASTM F1980. With over 35 years of integrity in testing, our sales team can help you determine the test parameters for your product’s success.
