Waterproof & Dust Proof Testing

CIL provides 'Ingress Protection Testing' services in Gandhinagar. IP65 Testing, IP67 Testing, IP55 Testing, etc.

Levels of protection against water, dust, solid foreign objects and access to hazardous parts are defined by IEC 60529 and its derivatives such as 60529. This standard is commonly referred to as “IP Code” and is referenced by many commercial, industrial and consumer product standards. Enclosure protection testing facilities at India and Asian sites are: Ingress protection testing up to IP68 rating Dust chambers, up to L2000mm x W1000mm x H1000mmImmersion testing up to 50m depth Impact testing, pendulum hammer and Drop hammer impact testing Post-test electrical evaluation. IP Testing – IP Codes IP First Numeral – Protection from solid objects/dust, IP0X-No protectionIP1X-Protection against solid objects > 50 mmIP2X-Protection against solid objects > 12 mmIP3X-Protection against solid objects > 2.5 mmIP4X-Protection against solid objects > 1 mmIP5X-Protection against dust (limited ingress allowed, no harmful deposit).IP6X-Fully protected from dust (dust tight)IP Second numeral – Protection from moisture/liquidsIPX0-No protection.IPX1-Protection from vertically dripping waterIPX2-Protection from sprays/dripping of water up to 15ofrom vertical.IPX3-Protection from spraying water up to 60o from vertical.IPX4-Protection from spraying water (all directions) – limited ingress OK provided no hazard.IPX5-Protection from low pressure jets of water (all directions) – limited ingress OK provided no hazard.IPX6-Protection against powerful jets of water, limited ingress OK provided no hazardIPX7-Protection from temporary immersionIPX8-Protection from continuous immersion. Ingress protection regulatory compliance testing is a form of enclosure testing. Testing involves determining the level of protection against solids and liquids. The ingress protection standard test methods specify levels of dust resistance and water resistance. The level of protection is called the IP Code or ingress protection level. IP standards for International Protection marking. Electrical enclosure testing is extremely important. NEMA 250 identifies various levels of enclosures. For more information, please see our electrical enclosure ratings. At the end of the day, water ingress testing equipment is essential to user and consumer safety. Solid Particle IP Testing A product’s susceptibility to solid particle ingress is determined through the use of calibrated IP testing equipment. Solid foreign objects can include fingers and other solid items. It also can include using sand testing and dust testing. To test larger solid objects, IP testing facilities will use calibrated items of certain dimensions.   

CIL utilizes calibrated IP testing equipment, including immersion tanks, nozzles and dust specific to the IP rating required. Utilizing purpose built, walk-in test chambers, we are also able to test on very large components/enclosures. Our Engaged Experts can help with guidance and offer advice on custom testing methods to meet your requirements.
