The method, preparation route and reporting depth depend on what you need to decide.
Single-stress exposure
durability and functional change under controlled environmental, ageing, or reliability stresses
- Best used when
- durability and functional change under controlled environmental, ageing, or reliability stresses
- Typical result
- Exposure log and condition record
- Preparation note
- State the substrate, nominal thickness and whether sectioning or mounting is permitted.
Cyclic or accelerated ageing programme
differences between materials, batches, treatments, or service conditions
- Best used when
- differences between materials, batches, treatments, or service conditions
- Typical result
- Pre/post performance comparison
- Preparation note
- State the fibre type, orientation and whether cutting, bundling or mounting is acceptable.
Pre/post comparison with functional or analytical checks
whether the measured result supports a specification, root-cause, or development decision
- Best used when
- whether the measured result supports a specification, root-cause, or development decision
- Typical result
- Failure observations and acceptance summary
- Preparation note
- Declare volatility, corrosivity, suspended solids and any storage or temperature requirement.
Common outputs
A result package matched to the decision you need to make
Fields, conditions, processing and file formats are confirmed before work begins.
Exposure log and condition record reported with the agreed units, sample reference and measurement conditions.
Pre/post performance comparison supplied in a labelled format suitable for direct sample or condition comparison.
Failure observations and acceptance summary provided with the processing basis and quality checks agreed during technical review.
Exposure record included when selected in the confirmed reporting scope.

What to provide before work begins
Provide representative, clearly labelled samples and identify the decision, feature or comparison that matters.
| Suitable sample | Submission requirement | Planning note |
|---|---|---|
| Film / coating | Provide the coated substrate or a flat film with the test surface and coating side clearly marked. | State the substrate, nominal thickness and whether sectioning or mounting is permitted. |
| Fibre / textile | Provide clean, dry fibres or a representative textile section in protective packaging. | State the fibre type, orientation and whether cutting, bundling or mounting is acceptable. |
| Liquid / solution | Provide a sealed, compatible container labelled with composition, concentration and solvent. | Declare volatility, corrosivity, suspended solids and any storage or temperature requirement. |
| Test coupon / specimen | Provide labelled specimens prepared to the agreed geometry, orientation and surface condition. | Confirm the applicable standard, dimensions, loading direction and number of replicates. |
Objective: state the decision, comparison or acceptance criterion the work must support.
Handling and access: declare hazards, instability, confidentiality, file constraints or special logistics before dispatch or transfer.
Questions and answers
Common planning decisions
Short answers to issues that can change preparation, scope, timing or interpretation.
What should I send for Liquid Moisture Management Testing (MMT)?
Provide film / coating, fibre / textile, liquid / solution, test coupon / specimen as applicable. Exact quantity, dimensions and preparation are confirmed during technical review.
Which scope should I choose?
Choose the scope that matches the decision, comparison and reporting depth you need; TESTDOG confirms the final route after technical review.
What will I receive?
Typical outputs include exposure log and condition record, pre/post performance comparison, failure observations and acceptance summary. Final files follow the confirmed reporting scope.
How long will it take?
Typical turnaround is 10 working days after sample acceptance and method confirmation.
