Ingress Protection Certification

Service Details:

CDG is an accredited laboratory for IP55 certification in India / IP55 testing in India.

What is the IP certification? IP certifications stand for Ingress Protection, or simply put, how well protected a device is against the ingress or entering of solid or liquid particles. While calling particular gadgets water-resistant or waterproof may sound convenient, it may also end up being vague.  
How to Get IP55 Testing and Certification for Electrical Panel?  Here is the process of Getting IP55 Testing and Certification for the Electrical Panel. We can do Electrical Panel IP55 Testing as per IEC EN 60529 Standard 
Two types of IP55 Testing: 
IP55 Dust proof Testing and 
IP55 Rainproof/waterproof Testing 
Test method for IP55 Dustproof Testing: 
Electrical Panel tested in a dust chamber, in which talcum powder is maintained in suspension by an air current. The chamber shall contain 2 kg of powder for every cubic meter of its volume. The talcum powder used shall be able to pass through a square-meshed sieve whose nominal wire diameter is 50 u m and whose nominal free distance between wires is 75 u m. It shall not have been used for more than 10 tests. 
Test method for IP55 Rainproof/Waterproof Testing: 
Test for second characteristic numeral 5 with the 6.3mm nozzle. 
The test is made by spraying the enclosure from all practicable directions with a stream of water from a standard nozzle. 
The conditions to be observed are as follows: The internal diameter of the nozzle 6.3mm

 CDG can provide Accredited ‘ingress protection’ Certification.

Many products undergo a variety of tests before they reach the market. These tests include product safety testing, electromagnetic compatibility, vibration testing and many others. 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. Some of the standards related to IP testing are MIL-STD-810 (Military), RTCA/DO-160 (Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics), and IEC 60529 (International Electrotechnical Commission). Different products require different levels of testing and different types of testing. Generally, ingress protection is divided into testing for ingress from foreign objects or liquids.

The degree of protection offered by an enclosure is shown by the letters IP (Ingress Protection) and two indexes. The first index indicates two factors (protection for persons and equipment), the second index indicates only one factor (protection against water).

Ingress Protection (IP) Test Certification

 CDG can provide Accredited ‘ingress protection’ Certication.

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 ingress protection offered by enclosures should consist of the following:

Protection of persons against access to hazardous parts.

Protection of equipment inside the enclosures to ingress of solid foreign objects.

Protection of equipment in the enclosures against harmful effects due to the ingress of water.

The dust chamber provides ingress testing to the dust-protected (IP5X) and dust-tight (IP6X) categories, by applying a turbulent talc test with reduced pressure to the equipment to simulate cooling down (where applicable).

First digit: 6

Definition: 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: 5

 Definition: Water jets directed at the enclosure from any direction must not have any harmful effects. IP X5

 Test conditions: A jet nozzle with an inside diameter of 6.3 mm splashes a volume flow of 12.5 litres per minute from a distance of 2.5 - 3 meters from all sides onto the enclosure. The test time is 3 minutes.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.

Second digit: 7Definition: Water must not be allowed to enter in a quantity which causes damage when the enclosure is temporarily under water. IP X7Test conditions: In the test, the enclosure is completely immersed in water in a dip tank. Immersion depth: 1 meter; test time: 30min.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.

Different IP Ratings

The rating consists of the letters IP followed by two digits, the higher the number the better the protection. The first digit indicates the level of protection that the enclosure provides against the ingress of solid foreign objects while the second digit defines the protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against various forms of moisture (drips, sprays, submersion, etc).

How to get IP testing certificate?

To get an IP rating for your product, you need to provide a product sample for testing. CDG will conduct independent testing & assessment of your product. After testing & assessment, we give the product a numerical IP rating, based on the tests we have put it through.

The value of trusting CDG with your Ingress Protection (IP) testing is clear.

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.

In a perfect world, every device will be able to withstand sand, dust, and water to some extent, not all devices. The Ingress Protection rating classification system, for solid objects and liquids.

 

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.

 

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

IP65 Testing And certification IP Enclosure Ratings and Standards Explained The IP rating is also known as Ingress Protection or International Protection ratings which are defined to the international standard of EN 60529, BS EN 60529:1992, IEC 60509:1989. These standards are used to define the levels of sealing effectiveness of electrical enclosures against intrusion from foreign bodies such as dirt and water. 
The rating consists of the letters IP followed by 2 digits, the first digit stands for the level of protection that the enclosure provides against solid bodies, the second digit describes the degree of protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against water. 
IP65 = First Digit – Solids IP65 = Second Digit – Liquids  
What is ip65 enclosure? IP65 Enclosure – IP rated as “dust tight” and protected against water projected from a nozzle. IP66 Enclosure – IP rated as “dust tight” and protected against heavy seas or powerful jets of water. IP 67 Enclosures – IP rated as “dust tight” and protected against immersion.  
Is ip65 waterproof? Example: With an IP65 rating, the LEDs can be used in an outside setting and are water-resistant but they are not waterproof and are not suitable to be submerged. An IP68 can be submerged in water.  
What are ip65 standards? At CDG, we utilize the IEC’s standardized International Protection Code system for measuring enclosures’ capabilities. The IP Code reflects the degree of protection as “IP” followed by two numbers; the first digit shows the extent to which enclosures are protected against particles and protection to others from enclosed hazards. The second digit indicates the extent of protection against water. We carry IP65 enclosures which offer complete protection against particles, and a good level of protection against water. IP65 Enclosures’ Characteristics: Complete protection from dust, oil, and other non-corrosive material Complete protection from contact with the enclosed equipment Protection from water, up to water projected by a nozzle against enclosure from any direction Silk-screening, anodizing, or engraving services available Custom with cutouts, insulation, hinges, latches or locks IP 65 Standards for Electrical Enclosure Protection

Is ip65 suitable for outdoor use? Waterproof Wall Lights for Outdoor Lighting. There is a wide range of wall lights, but not all can be used outdoors; it is recommended to install a wall fitting that is at least IP44 rated so that water would not reach the electricals, or even an IP65 or IP67 waterproof fitting (to be more secure).
