IP Testing
Our Ingress Protection testing services determines
your products susceptibility to both water and solid
particle ingress, these tests are conducted in accordance
with IEC 60529 / EN 60529.
The level of protection of a product is signified by a number (e.g. IP56)
where the first number is the ingress protection against solid bodies, and
the second number is protection against liquid.
Testing is verified in each case by our knowledgeable engineers, whose job it
is to inspect the tested item immediately after completion and produce a report.

"
Water ingress uses high tech
simulation equipment giving protection
from dripping water (rain and spray)
through to sprays and water jets to
high pressure immersion testing.
"
Dust ingress testing is performed using
a latest self-contained talc powder
circulating chamber. The airflow
circulates upward from the bottom,
blowing the dust in a circular motion
around the units under test.
