IP68 Certification In India

CDG provides ISO 17025-accredited ingress protection services in India. 

Ingress Protection (IP) Test Certification

CDG can provide Accredited ‘ingress protection’ Certification.

Ingress Protection forms part of the process of determining the level of protection provided by equipment enclosures. The test methods and definitions of the Ingress Protection (IP) Codes are covered under the EN 60529, EN60598 and EN60079-0 Standards.

The Degree of Protection provided by an enclosure is indicated by the IP coding such as IPXXCH

IP – IP is the Code letters

X – First Characteristics numeral – Dust Protection (numerals 0-6 or latter X)

X – Second Characteristics numeral – Water Protection (numeral 0-8 or latter X)

C – Additional Letter – optional, letters A, B, C, D

H – Supplementary letters – optional, letters H, M, S, W

Applicable Standard: IS/IEC 60529.

First digit: 6Definition: Dust must not enter at all.Test conditions: The test is carried out in a dust chamber in which talcum powder is being kept suspended in the air by means of a dust distributor or similar device. The enclosure which is being tested is placed in the test chamber while a vacuum pump keeps the pressure in the enclosure below the atmospheric pressure of the environment according to the standard.Conditions for acceptance: The protection is satisfactory if there is no visible dust deposit within the enclosure after completion of the test.

Second digit: 8 Definition: Water must not enter in a quantity that could have harmful effects if the enclosure is kept under water under conditions agreed between the manufacturer and the user; however, these must be more difficult than those under . IPX8 Test conditions: The enclosure is completely immersed in a water basin. The immersion depth as well as the test time are dependent on the conditions agreed on between manufacturer and user.In our in-house test laboratory we can test up to a maximum immersion depth of 1.2 metres.Conditions for acceptance: Should water have penetrated, it must not- be present in quantities which impair the good working order of the operating material or represent a safety hazard;- deposit on non-conducting parts where it could lead to creep currents;- come in contact with live parts or coils which are unsuitable for operating in wet conditions;- collect near the wire end or possibly penetrate the wire.

Devices backed by an international standard rating of IP68 are deemed fit enough to withstand dust, dirt and sand, and are resistant to submersion up to a maximum depth of 1.5m underwater for up to thirty minutes.

The Ingress Protection rating (IP Rating) system is a classification system that in a nutshell, provides you with the levels of protection you’re receiving from solid objects and liquids. The standard aims to provide users with more detailed information than vague marketing terms such as waterproof.

The basic standards for IP rating are IS/IEC 60529. The standard aims to provide users with more detailed information than vague marketing terms such as waterproof. The first digit represents protection against ingress of solid objects, while the second digit represents protection against ingress of liquids; the higher the value, the greater the protection.
