Canadian Centre for Product Validation (CCPV) – created for the purpose of continuing research efforts and creating incubator facilities relating to advanced manufacturing. The facility is a comprehensive, test facility that presents a unique opportunity for Fanshawe College. The CCPV will perform developmental, performance, and compliance testing for new or improved products in the primary areas of thermal, mechanical, electrical, and environmental testing. Tests to established standards will be performed along with the development of special proprietary test protocols specific to the industry partner. Multimodal testing (simultaneous testing in multiple areas) will be performed to reflect the actual or potential conditions of the product’s application.
