Installation Guide
The 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, Scanstrut design products to be able to thrive in the harshest of outdoor environments.
Before any product is released, it must pass through the 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.
This commitment to quality has earned Scanstrut the approval of renowned names such as Mercury Marine, Grady White Boats, Boston Whaler, Winnebago, Airstream and many more. To learn more about the SCA testing program and certifications, get in touch.
On/Off Road Testing
Simulates real-world performance by rigorously testing the product across varied terrains, including roads and off-road trails
Cycle Testing
Simulates extended long-term use by repeatedly opening and closing a lid to replicate mechanical wear over time.
Water Pressure Test
Evaluates the product’s capacity to endure rising internal pressure, ensuring it maintains structural integrity under extreme conditions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
ROHS
Confirms the levels of substances and chemicals in our electrical products, with the aim of protecting human and animal health.Related Products
