Ingress Protection (IP) Testing Laboratory Services In India

CIL provides 'Ingress Protection Testing' services in Bhopal. IP65 Testing, IP67 Testing, IP55 Testing, etc.

There are several reasons for ingress testing, including safety, functionality and product marketing. Many products require insulation from outside elements in order to function properly. Those outside elements include mist, steam, sprayed water, sand, oil and even fingers, just to name a few. Ingress protection testing helps determine whether a particular product is going to function appropriately when placed in the field.  

Ingress Protection tests are conducted in accordance with IEC 60529. The testing will assess the protection of the equipment against ingress of solid bodies and/or liquids, varying over differing degrees of protection, depending upon the requirements you place on your product. We will then measure the effects of this exposure, and give the product an appropriate IP rating. Ingress Protection tests are conducted in accordance with IEC 60529/EN60529.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. 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. Water ingress again uses high tech simulation equipment giving protection from dripping water (rain and spray) through to sprays and water jets to high pressure immersion testing.

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. The level of protection of a product is signified by a number (e.g. IP67) where the first number is the ingress protection against solid bodies, and the second number is protection against liquids. Ingress protection (IP) testing reduces the risk of product failure in the field by assessing the degree of protection provided against mechanical intrusion, dust, accidental contact and water into casings and enclosures. IP codes are widely used to indicate the degree of water-proof and dustproof properties of electric equipment The IP codes defined in IEC 60529 classifies the degree of protection against the ingress of foreign material (including steel balls, copper wire, water, dirt and dust) into the enclosure of electrical and mechanical products. Our competent engineers are exceptional at interpreting the IP standards. This provides manufacturers with help in determining acceptable amounts of ingress. If the unit that requires testing is too large to move, no problem. We have experience completing ingress protection testing at our customer’s facilities. Our customers enjoy our short lead times. We take pride in our ability to explain the process and testing requirements.

CIL also offers consultative ingress protection engineering support when failures occur. From a budget perspective, our pricing is affordable. This combination has made us one of the fastest growing companies in the country. We are also one of the most respected enclosure testing labs in the country.
