Our Testing Ethos

Our testing standard at Scanstrut is encapsulated by the acronym SCA, which stands for Safe, Certified, and Approved. With over 35 years of experience and expertise in designing products for outdoor use, we design our products to be able to thrive in the harshest of outdoor environments.

Before any product is released, it must pass through our rigorous testing program which involves assessments in electrical, mechanical, U.V., corrosion, thermal, and waterproof categories. To ensure the highest level of accuracy, testing is conducted both internally and by independent ISO accredited test houses.

Our commitment to quality has earned us the approval of renowned names such as Mercury Marine, Grady White Boats, Boston Whaler, Winnebago, Airstream and many more. To learn more about our testing program and certifications, please feel free to reach out to us.

IP Test

Water and dust protection under test laboratory conditions to international IP standards. We test between IPX4 (waterjet) and IP68 (submersion).

Accelerated UV Material Test

We accelerate the effects of UV exposure to replicate our products usage in extreme tropical climates. We do this to ensure parts do not become brittle, discolour or fail over time.

Cable Bend Test

Electrical products are bolted into a specially designed automated jig to mechanically bend the cable -45° to +45° for 3000 cycles. This ensures cables will not fail even after prolonged use.

Thermal Chamber Test

Laboratory chamber running from -40°C (-40°F) to +85°C (185°F) and back to -40°C (-40°F) for 120 cycles, this accelerates material ageing to simulate real world environment.

Cable Twist Test

Electrical products are bolted into a specially designed automated jig to mechanically twist the cable -45° to +45° for 3000 cycles. This ensures cables will not fail even after prolonged use.

Temperature Chamber Test

Product placed in a laboratory chamber at high temperatures to ensure our products continue to perform as designed.

Corrosion Test

100-hours of a special formula salt spray that simulates accelerated marine environmental effects on the product.

On Water Charge Test

Using real life on water temperature data to ensure devices will continue to charge at an acceptable speed in extreme cold and hot temperatures.

On Water Testing Global

Similar to SCA standard on water testing, however we select locations and vessels for more varied and challenging environmental conditions.

FEA Analysis

Finite Element Analysis, simulates the behaviour of the design in virtual conditions to allow us to optimise the design before prototyping and physical testing.

C Tick

An identification trademark registered to the ACMA indicates that the equipment complies with the relevant EMC standard.

CE / UKCA

Signifies that our products have been assessed to meet high safety, health, and environmental protection requirements.

ECE R10

The global automotive standard recognised by RV and Marine OEMs to ensure electrical devices are suitable to use in automotive builds.

FCC

A legal requirement to sell any communication device (RF) in the United States of America.

Humidity Chamber Test

Similar to our brutal SCA Thermal Chamber Test, but we’ve added humidity to make it even more punishing.

Material Test

Positive Material Identification (PMI) ensures consistent quality of 316 Stainless Steel and Aluminium products. This controls strength and environmental performance.

PROP65

Confirms the exclusion of substances of very high concern in our products, with the aim of protecting human and animal health.

ROHS

Confirms the levels of substances and chemicals in our electrical products, with the aim of protecting human and animal health. 

Why is the Scanstrut charge range different to other so called "waterproof USB chargers" on the market?

Our range of USB chargers remains waterproof even when the socket is in use. Other USB chargers are only waterproof when not being used and the cover fitted.

Can I replace an old USB socket with a Scanstrut version?

In most case it’s an easy swap, just remove the old version and our USB barrels will fit into th existing hole and add self tapping screw/s where required.
