What are the 3 types of tests that technology goes through to be defined as rugged?

There are many types of tests to define a technology as rugged.  Here are three common ones:

1. Environmental: Involves exposing the technology to extreames in temperature, humidity, dust and other environmental factors. 

2. Mechanical: Involves subjecting the tech to physical stress like vibration, shock and drop testing.  Checking for typical stress of normal and edge case wear and tear.

3. EMI / EMC: Involves exposing the tech to electromagnetic Interference (EMI) to ensure it can continue to function and electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) to make sure it doesn't emit harmful levels of EMI.

Rugged technology is designed to withstand these tests and are common in industrial, military and outdoor environments where it will likely be exposed to harsh conditions.

Rugged technology is tested rigorously through three types of tests to ensure the device meets the strictest requirements for durability and performance. These are environmental tests, mechanical tests and electrical tests. Environmental tests assess the device’s ability to withstand various temperatures, dust, vibration, shocks and water immersion. Mechanical tests determine a device’s resistance to impacts and pressures, such as dropping it from a certain height or pushing against it with a certain amount of force. Lastly, electrical tests measure the equipment’s resistance to electrical surges or shorts, as well as its electrical performance and power consumption.

The three types of tests that technology must go through to be defined as rugged are environmental, mechanical, and electrical tests. Environmental tests assess the ability of the technology to withstand extreme temperatures, humidity, vibration, and dust. Mechanical tests assess the ability of the technology to withstand shock and pressure. Electrical tests assess the ability of the technology to withstand electrical surges and other power issues.

Generally speaking, there are three types of tests that technology goes through to be defined as rugged: 

1) Environmental testing, which involves exposing the device to extreme temperatures, humidity, and other weather conditions. This test is designed to ensure that the device can withstand harsh environmental conditions such as extreme heat or cold, as well as exposure to moisture or dust.

2) Physical testing, which involves subjecting the device to a variety of physical stresses, including drops, impacts, and vibrations. This test is designed to ensure that the device can withstand accidental drops or other physical impacts.

3) Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing, which involves testing the device's ability to operate without interfering with other electronic devices and without being affected by electromagnetic radiation. This test is designed to ensure that the device can operate effectively in a variety of environments without causing interference to other equipment. 

These tests are designed to simulate the rigors of real-world use, and are typically conducted by third-party testing organizations to ensure objective results.
