In the environmental qualification of chemical energetics, influences from the environment occurring in production, logistics and applications are simulated. The attempt was thus made to demonstrate or, respectively, to estimate the manipulation safety, functional behaviour and life time of energetic materials. It is here the usual method to intensify simulated environmental influences for the purpose of accelerating tests. In this paper the example of mechanical load simulation is used to demonstrate how knowledge of the behaviour of the material is necessary for an ingenious modelling and a rational increasing of test levels. Apart from the microscopic and macroscopic point of view, especially the so called “micromorphological” observation level is well suited to this purpose.
