Our IP
testing services
Our Ingress Protection testing
services determine your products
susceptibility to both water and
solid particle ingress, an essential
step in preparation for bringing any
electronic device to the worldwide
market.
The level of protection for a product
is signified by a number (e.g. IP56)
- the first number represents the
ingress protection against solid
bodies, and the second indicates
the level of 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 ranging from
dripping water, sprays and water jets,
through to high pressure immersion
testing. Whilst dust ingress testing
is performed using a self-contained
talc powder circulating chamber; the
airflow circulates upward from the
bottom, blowing the dust in a circular
motion around the unit being tested.
