Step Two of the Comtest Five-Step Process: Design
How to find the perfect test chamber without any stress? In this post, we delve into step 2 of our Worry-Free Five-Step Process: detailing a chamber design with Britt Links from our Design Department.

“Do you know there are at least seven good reasons to secure your test chamber’s future?” In a series of five posts, our specialists share trends and developments for 2026. This week, Steven Nijenhuis, our new Operations Manager, emphasises that it’s a sign that intelligent people take good care of their chamber and its equipment.
Steven: “There is a persistent misunderstanding in the business that chamber maintenance is little more than wiping dirt from the door’s critical parts. We sometimes encounter chambers with serious issues due to neglected maintenance. But there is much more to it than just maintenance; the key is to prepare and maintain your chamber for future changes as well. Therefore, we are developing a Chamber Life Cycle Support Programme, which we will launch later this year.”
Is that programme part of your worry-free mission?
Steven Nijenhuis: “Yes, but I see it as a sustainability mission, too: with proper chamber life cycle support, companies will be less surprised by unexpected malfunctions, wear and tear, and changes in testing objectives. Sustainability is more than recycling or minimising material use; it’s also about extending product life as long as possible. Well-balanced maintenance minimises potential downtime for your chamber. Timely renewals of critical parts and upgrades are part of our programme. Finally, with our Chamber Life Cycle Support programme, you will maintain your chamber’s warranty. There are maybe a dozen reasons to enter the programme.”
