- Power cord strain relief test: the test checks if the power cord is securely attached to the stereo system. This test is important as it prevents the cord from getting disconnected accidentally, which can cause a safety hazard.
- Power consumption test: the test checks how much power the stereo system consumes. This test ensures that the system is not consuming more power than it is designed to handle, which can cause overheating and other safety hazards.
(2) EMC test
- Radiated emissions test: this test is designed to measure the amount of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the stereo system. The test is conducted by placing the stereo system in a shielded chamber and measuring the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the system.
- Conducted emissions test: the test is designed to measure the amount of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the power supply and other internal components of the stereo system. The test is performed by connecting the stereo system to a spectrum analyzer, which measures the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the system.
- Electrostatic discharge (ESD) test: the test is designed to simulate the effect of static electricity on the stereo system. The test is performed by applying a high voltage discharge to the stereo system and measuring its response to the discharge.
- Radiated immunity test: the test is designed to measure the stereo system’s ability to withstand electromagnetic interference from other sources. The test is performed by exposing the stereo system to a high level of electromagnetic radiation and measuring its response to the radiation.
- Conducted immunity test: the test is designed to measure the stereo system’s ability to withstand electromagnetic interference from the power supply and other internal components. The test is performed by injecting a high level of electromagnetic radiation into the power supply and measuring its response to the radiation.
- Magnetic field immunity test: the test is designed to measure the stereo system’s ability to withstand magnetic fields. The test is performed by exposing the stereo system to a strong magnetic field and measuring its response to the field.
- Voltage dip and interruption test: the test is designed to measure the stereo system’s ability to withstand voltage dips and interruptions in the power supply. The test is performed by simulating voltage dips and interruptions in the power supply and measuring the stereo system’s response to the dips and interruptions.
- Harmonic current emissions test: the test is designed to measure the amount of harmonic current emitted by the stereo system. The test is performed by connecting the stereo system to a power analyzer, which measures the harmonic current emitted by the system.
- Flicker test: the test is designed to measure the amount of flicker emitted by the stereo system. The test is performed by connecting the stereo system to a power analyzer, which measures the flicker emitted by the system.
- Surge test: the test is designed to measure the stereo system’s ability to withstand power surges. The test is performed by applying a high voltage surge to the stereo system and measuring its response to the surge.
- Voltage variation test: the test is designed to measure the stereo system’s ability to withstand voltage variations in the power supply. The test is performed by simulating voltage variations in the power supply and measuring the stereo system’s response to the variations.
- Power frequency magnetic field test: the test is designed to measure the stereo system’s ability to withstand power frequency magnetic fields. The test is performed by exposing the stereo system to a power frequency magnetic field and measuring its response to the field.
(3) Energy efficiency test
- Energy consumption: this test measures the amount of power the stereo consumes when in use. The power consumption is measured in watts and is usually indicated on the product label. The lower the watts consumption, the more energy-efficient the stereo is.
- Standby mode: when not in use, stereos go into standby mode. In this mode, they use minimal power, but it is still important to ensure that the power consumption is as low as possible. This is because stereos spend most of their time in standby mode.
- Power saving mode: power-saving mode is also tested for energy efficiency. This mode is designed to reduce the power consumption of the stereo when it is not in use for an extended period. The power-saving mode activates after a specific period of inactivity, and it reduces the power consumption to a minimum.
(4) Mechanical tests
- Drop test: the test is conducted to check the durability of the stereo. The stereo is dropped from a certain height, and the impact is evaluated. This test is conducted to ensure that the stereo can withstand accidental drops and impacts.
- Vibration test: the test is conducted to evaluate the ability of the stereo to withstand vibrations. The stereo is subjected to different frequencies and amplitudes of vibrations. This test is conducted to ensure that the stereo can withstand vibrations from different sources such as vehicles and loud music.
- Tensile test: the test is conducted to evaluate the ability of the stereo to withstand tension. The stereo is subjected to different levels of tension to ensure that it can function correctly in environments with high tension.
- Compression test: the test is conducted to evaluate the ability of the stereo to withstand compression. The stereo is subjected to different levels of compression to ensure that it can function correctly in environments with high compression.
- Fatigue test: the test is conducted to evaluate the ability of the stereo to withstand repeated stress cycles. The stereo is subjected to different stress cycles to ensure that it can function correctly over an extended period.
