Evidence
Engineering decisions should be supported by traceable data, analysis and physical evidence. Observations, assumptions and conclusions remain distinct.
About Spacerel
About Spacerel
Spacerel develops and manages reliability, qualification and failure-analysis programmes for mission-critical electronics.
Our company
Based in the UK. Serving customers worldwide.
SPACEREL LTD provides failure analysis, reliability engineering, qualification and technical training services to business customers worldwide. Each engagement is agreed around the technical requirement, scope and applicable legal restrictions.
Our purpose
Reliability should be engineered, not assumed.
Electronics can meet their functional specification and still fail to meet the demands of their operating environment or intended lifetime. SPACEREL exists to close that gap.
We bring together failure mechanisms, mission profiles, reliability modelling, accelerated testing and physical evidence to help organisations understand and reduce reliability risk before it becomes a field failure.
From the behaviour of a single interconnect to the demands of a complete system, the focus is a clear engineering outcome supported by traceable evidence.
Our principles
Engineering starts with evidence.
Physics
Reliability begins with understanding stresses, materials, interfaces, failure mechanisms and how products degrade.
Application
Qualification and reliability activities should reflect the real mission profile, intended lifetime and consequences of failure.
Our engineering approach
From requirement to defensible engineering evidence.
-
01
Understand
Define requirements, architecture, mission profile, operating environment and intended lifetime.
-
02
Analyse
Identify failure mechanisms and risk using FMEA/FMECA, reliability modelling and Physics of Failure.
-
03
Test
Develop targeted qualification, accelerated testing, reliability demonstration and failure investigation activities.
-
04
Evidence
Interpret results, establish engineering conclusions and produce clear, traceable technical documentation.
Our mission
Make complex reliability questions answerable.
Electronic hardware must perform in an application, not just pass a test. Spacerel connects the mission, the physics of failure and the available evidence to help organisations make informed engineering decisions.
Our philosophy
Clear reasoning. Traceable conclusions.
A robust engineering conclusion makes its assumptions visible. The approach is to define the question, preserve evidence, select appropriate methods and explain what the findings do and do not establish.
Independence means assessing the evidence on its merits, with recommendations grounded in the technical requirement.
Our disciplines
From a single interconnect to a complete system.
Failure analysis, reliability engineering and component and system qualification are complementary disciplines. Bringing them together supports decisions from component selection and development through qualification and field investigation.
