Beyond validation: closing the gap between laboratory testing and real-world product performance
Beyond validation: closing the gap between laboratory testing and real-world product performance
Live Webinar | August 5, 2026 | 12:00 PM EDT | 30 Minutes
Battery systems are passing validation tests but failures are still happening in the field.
The challenge isn’t testing itself.
It’s whether testing reflects real-world conditions.
“Products don’t fail during validation they fail when real-world conditions don’t match what was tested.”
— Scott Herz, Lab Manager, TÜV SÜD
As battery systems are deployed into more demanding environments, closing this gap is critical to safety, reliability, and performance.

Why validation alone doesn’t predict real-world performance
Battery systems are more complex and expectations are rising.
The result: passing validation is no longer enough.
Scott Herz
New Energy Vehicles Lab Manager, TÜV SÜD
Scott Herz leads testing programs focused on real-world validation for battery and energy systems, including abuse, durability, and performance testing.
With experience across automotive, commercial vehicle, off-highway, and defense sectors, he works closely with engineering teams to understand how systems behave beyond controlled lab environments—helping identify risks earlier and improve real-world performance.
Passing validation proves compliance.
Real-world testing proves performance.
Join this session to understand where validation falls short and how to close the gap before failures occur in the field.
