Where precision Engineering intersects Performance and Proof

With over 100 years of engineering and defence behind us we understand that strength isn’t just built — it’s forged.  In industries where trust and capability are paramount, we bridge the gap between theory and practice. We exist to validate the time, effort and skill your teams pour into delivering products that perform.

Rivencore specialises in advanced environmental testing to validate the durability and reliability of products under extreme conditions. Through rigorous testing protocols, we assess performance across temperature, humidity, vibration, and other environmental factors to ensure total system integrity.

Our expertise in environmental simulations ensure compliance with industry standards, providing you with the confidence that your products will withstand demanding real-world applications. 

Certified & accredited since 2024

Our ISO 17025:2017 UKAS certified laboratory has been verified again and again, for procedures and you can trust every time.

Testing at exacting laboratory standard

Our verified and traceable methodologies eliminate variability and streamline workflow for accurate, high quality results you can trust.

Elevate and qualify products & prototypes

Our reporting delivers clarity to refine and optimise before launch, strengthening product performance and compliance.

Climatic Chamber

Our environmental chamber conducts both temperature and humidity testing, simulating specific climatic conditions. It allows precise regulation of temperature and humidity to test how products, materials, or components perform and endure under varying environmental stresses. This helps ensure reliability, durability, and compliance with industry standards such as MIL-STD 810 & BS EN 60068.

• 1500 litre, 1000 x 1600 x 900 mm
• -70 – 180 °C
• 10% to 98% RH
• up to 3.5 K/min heating
• 2.5 k/min Cooling

Dust Chamber

Our dust chamber tests products to IP5X and IP6X standards (BS EN 60529:1992), showing how they perform in dusty environments.  Using certified TALC dust, we provide reliable, repeatable results that give you confidence your equipment will keep working, even in challenging conditions.

• Load Capacity: 100 Kg
• 400 x 240 x 1200 mm

Mechanical Testing

We carry out mechanical strength testing to IEC 62368-1, assessing the durability of audio, video, and ICT equipment.  Our facility ensures products meet safety requirements, giving manufacturers and end-users confidence in their reliability and protection against everyday mechanical stresses.

• Strength Test
• Impact Test
• Drop Test – Up to 15Kg

HALT Testing

Our HALT facility combines a large-capacity vibration table with a climate chamber, enabling simultaneous random vibration and temperature stress testing.  Ideal for product development, this process reveals weaknesses early, providing valuable insights to improve design, reliability, and overall performance.

• Load Capacity: 90 Kg
• 610 x 610 mm
• Equal energy: 10Hz to 5000Hz
  6 Axis of vibration
• Acceleration: 5 – 60 gRMS
