Water Leakage Test (IPX1, IPX2, IPX3, IPX4, IPX5, IPX6)

Introductions:
The Rain test chamber is applicable to the protection of external lighting and signaling devices and automobile lamps, and can provide a vivid simulation of various environments such as water spraying and spray tests that electronic products and their components may be subjected to during transportation and use. To achieve the waterproof performance testing of various products.

Test Standards:
IEC60529, IPX1, IPX2, IPX3, IPX4, IPX5, IPX6

Water Leakage Tests (IPX1, IPX2, IPX3, IPX4, IPX5, IPX6) are used to assess the level of protection an enclosure provides against water damage. These tests are often performed on electronic devices, containers, and enclosures.

What are the tests for?
IPX1: A basic level of protection against dripping water from above
IPX2: Protection against dripping water from above, even when the enclosure is tilted up to 15°
IPX3: Protection against spraying water
IPX4: Protection against splashing water
IPX5: Protection against water jets
IPX6: Protection against water jets

Who uses these Tests?
Manufacturers: To ensure their products can withstand water exposure
Consumers: To ensure their products will continue to work even if exposed to water
Quality control departments: To assess the waterproof protection of enclosures
Authentication test organizations: To assess the waterproof protection of products

How are the tests performed?
The device is exposed to water at a specific angle and rate
The test duration and water equivalent are specified
The device is observed for harmful effects
