12- INGRESS PROTECTION (IPXX) TESTING

We have developed our own IP tester.

Comprehensive Ingress Protection Validation

Our facility conducts complete IP testing according to ISO 20653 and IEC 60529 standards using specialized equipment including custom Tiyo-designed testers for IPX3 to IPX9K. We perform water splash tests (ISO 16750-4), car wash simulation with brushes (PV 3.3.3), and comprehensive sealing validation using 1m³ dust chambers with various test media and 2 m³ splash chambers for muddy/salty/clean water testing. Our capabilities extend to high-voltage applications up to 800 V DC with advanced immersion testing.

Enhanced Testing & Analysis Capabilities

We offer complete project support including sample preparation with torque-measured sealing, specialized analysis techniques, and post-test evaluation with water ingress determination. Our services include microscopic analysis, insulation resistance testing, pre-aging in climatic chambers, and chemical/UV analysis. All testing incorporates advanced safety protocols with 48-channel monitoring systems (20 MHz sampling rate) and active liquid cooling for test devices, ensuring comprehensive protection assessment compliant with all relevant standards.
