Ingress Protection testing, or IP testing, tests a product’s ability to protect against “ingress,” that is, the infiltration of water, dust and foreign objects.
Ingress protection determines if an electrical product’s exterior case or enclosure will protect the working parts from water, dust or solid object intrusion, keeping the product electrically safe and lasting longer.
We perform three IP Test which is given below.
IPX5: This rating applies to items that are protected against ingress from jets of liquid. It is given after testing with water jets, and it shows there were no harmful effects.
IPX6: This rating is given for items that can provide protection against
ingress
from powerful jets of liquid. It’s an extended version of IPX5. The water
pressure in this test can reach 14.5 pounds per square inch (PSI).
IPX7: This rating goes further and indicates protection from temporary
immersion
in liquids. The rating is given after immersing an item in 1 meter of water for
30 minutes with no harmful effects.
