Before being used, the materials must be tested to verify their structural and functional stability in relation to the environment. In order to reach the aim, the conditions under which they will perform their activities are recreated in laboratory, in terms of temperature (high and low), humidity and pressure.

- Internal useful volume: 1 m3
- Temperature range: from -72 to +150° C
- Humidity range: from 10% to 98%
- Depression reachable: 1mBar
The room can be controlled remotely and computerized in order to perform repeated and complex cycles. Some openings permits the passage of different cables and the manual manipulation of the apparatus inside it.
