Research & Development Testing

Precision, Compliance, Confidence 

Accelerating Innovation with Confidence

Resonate Testing provides ISO17025-accredited mechanical and environmental testing services to support R&D programmes across aerospace, automotive, medical technology, and emerging sectors. From concept validation to prototype qualification, we help innovators, engineers, and procurement teams transform ideas into market-ready solutions. 

Our facility in Northern Ireland offers vibration, shock, and environmental testing under one roof, enabling rapid iteration and reducing time-to-market for cutting-edge technologies. 

Why Resonate for R&D?

  • Integrated Capability 
    Vibration, shock, and environmental testing in a single location for streamlined development cycles. 
  • Engineering Partnership 
    Bespoke fixture design, instrumentation, and data acquisition tailored to experimental setups. 
  • Rapid Iteration 
    Agile scheduling and parallel testing to accelerate design validation and reduce development risk. 
  • Innovation Support 
    Expertise in emerging technologies including EV batteries, space hardware, and medical devices. 

Capabilities at a Glance

    Vibration and shock testing for a next-generation satellite component. 
  • EV Battery Chemistry Development 
    Abuse and thermal cycling for early-stage lithium-ion alternatives. 
  • Medical Wearable Innovation 
    Environmental and ingress testing for a remote patient monitoring device. 

This expertise and knowledge in the aerospace sector has been easily extended to various industries and other unique test applications, including electrical and mechanical product testing, packaging testing, many transportation and lifecycles tests for the MedTech industry to name but a few NSC’s experience in aerospace engineering provides a key foundation for our capabilities in test specification and certification with the result that customers can be confident of a highly professional and knowledgeable service.

Resonate Testing is part of a wider diversification and growth strategy founded upon the practical application of our engineering knowledge and experience. we have the unique position of unfettered access to the EU, UK and global markets.

With a 7500sqft facility of purpose-built test space, Resonate Testing can meet testing needs in various industries by offering locally or geographically diverse customers impressive capabilities coupled with a fast turnaround model. The facility includes a combined vibration and environmental laboratory (the only commercial facility on the Island of Ireland that can perform combined temperature and vibration testing up to 54kN), a fire test laboratory and a general mechanical test facility. Resonate Testing is UKAS accredited to ISO17025, ISTA and, as part of The Nacelle Group, certified to ISO9001:2015.

Maintaining a strong engineering team, we differentiate ourselves by demonstrating our ability to support clients fully, as a complete Test Service Facilitator.
