Understanding reliability is vital when new products are developed. Using the correct methods in reliability analysis is especially important. In this presentation special requirements related to the testing of printed and flexible structures are discussed. In particular, the presentation concentrates on environmental testing, such as humidity or corrosion testing, and mechanical testing, such as bending testing. Several examples of environmental and mechanical test methods are given with results from different products.
