Importance of IP waterproof grade test

For the waterproof grade test, the industry mainly manufactures the corresponding waterproof test equipment according to the standard GB4208-2008/IEC60529-2013.

Why should enterprises attach importance to IP protection level testing? Here are three reasons:
1. National mandatory regulations (GB4208-2008)
Careful friends will see that the standard starts with GB, not GB/T or other letters. GB represents a national mandatory regulation. All electrical equipment that needs to be protected by enclosure shall pass the test of this standard.

2. Relevant regulations of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEV60529-2013)
The manufacture of waterproof test equipment also refers to the relevant standards of the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC60529-2013 (IEC60529-2001 was replaced in 2013). Brief introduction to the background of the International Electrotechnical Commission: Founded in 1906, it is the earliest non-governmental international electrotechnical standardization organization in the world and a Class A advisory organization of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). Its authority is needless to say. As long as it involves the product performance test of electronic and electrical products, the Electrotechnical Commission has strict test standards, which have been adopted by many countries around the world.

3. Enterprise’s own development needs
With the rapid development of society, this society has come to an era where supply exceeds demand. The national demand for product quality is getting higher and higher. It’s not like the old one, which only needs to meet its own basic needs. Modern enterprises pay more attention to the experience of consumers. For example, the emergence of three proof mobile phones, diving cameras, waterproof mobile phone shells, etc. in the market is unprecedented. If the design of modern enterprises can consider the feelings of consumers and add waterproof functions, it is believed that the products of enterprises will have more selling points. Here, it is necessary to point out that enterprises engaged in foreign trade, in particular, should pay special attention to product waterproof testing. Many of our customers are engaged in foreign trade, which shows that foreign customers attach great importance to waterproof function.

For enterprises, quality is a solid foundation to win the future. It can be seen that IP protection level testing should be paid attention to, whether considering external mandatory requirements or the enterprise’s own development prospects. Because the shell is the first barrier to protect the product, only by paying enough attention to it can our product be used for a long time, win the trust of customers for a long time, and achieve success.

Problems needing attention in IPX12 dripping test:
The customer needs to pay attention to some small details when doing the IPX12 drip test.
1. During the IPX12 test, the tested shell is not placed at the center of the turntable, and the eccentricity (the distance between the axis line of the shell and the axis line of the turntable) is 100mm.
2. During the IPX2 test, the table supporting the housing does not rotate. If the table is rotating during the test, it is not up to the standard.

Details of IPX34 swing pipe water spray test equipment?
When IPX34 is tested in the rain, several small details should be noted: when all parts of the housing cannot be completely wetted during the test, it can be solved by adjusting the turntable up and down. If the experimenter has a hand-held shower test device, the water spraying nozzle shall be used preferentially for the test. In addition, when conducting IPX4 water spraying test, if the relevant product standards do not specify, the turntable should have holes to prevent it from becoming a water baffle. When the shower device is used for testing, the distance between the nozzle and the tested sample shall be 300~500mm.
