Conditions can include both environmental and mechanical stresses, such as temperature, humidity, light, altitude, rain, salt spray, corrosion, sun exposure, vacuum, air pressure, electrodynamic vibration, and radiation, among others.

By artificially reproducing conditions that a sample may be exposed to during its use or lifespan, these climate rooms or chambers provide valuable information on how something works under the stress of those climatic conditions and whether or not it has any defects or design flaws.

Stress testing can save a company a lot of money by catching any issues that may be present in their products before production and distribution.

Environmental test chambers are often used for incubation, plant growth, animal hatching, shelf-life determination, stability testing, and fatigue analysis. Furthermore, these units are capable of testing many different things, including biological and electronic products and samples.

They are used in a wide range of fields, including biology, microbiology, bio-tissue engineering, pharmaceuticals, medical, food, cosmetics, building materials, industrial research, and more.
