EAG Laboratories is a global leader in failure analysis services. We assist clients by investigating the root causes of material failures and can serve as expert witnesses in legal investigations to determine liability in fault-related cases. From raw materials to finished products, we offer a comprehensive suite of testing technologies to identify material failures.

What is Failure Analysis?

Failure analysis employs various analytical techniques to determine the root cause of failure through systematic investigation. Initially, the process typically involves testing failed components to identify the defective areas. Subsequently, advanced analysis is conducted to uncover the underlying causes of failure. Non-destructive testing methods are sometimes used in the early stages of failure investigation to preserve samples for further examination.

EAG's Failure Analysis Services

Effective failure analysis requires the right combination of tools, methodologies, and expertise to diagnose issues and determine failure mechanisms. With hundreds of highly educated and experienced staff across 2,500 global laboratories and access to 22 specialized instruments, EAG Laboratories delivers unparalleled analytical capabilities. Our integrated approach supports companies throughout the product lifecycle—from concept to mass production—in an IP-secure environment.
