IP53 Test

IP53 testing involves testing an enclosure for the following solid particle protection and liquid ingress protection:

Solid Particle Protection:

Object size protected against: Dust protected

Effective against: Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment; complete protection against contact (dust proof).

Liquid Ingress Protection:

Protected Against: Spraying water

Testing For: Water falling as a spray at any angle up to 60° from the vertical shall have no harmful effect.

 An enclosure that can meet the preceding two requirements is IP53 Testing compliant.

IP55 Test

IP55 testing involves testing an enclosure for the following solid particle protection and liquid ingress protection:

Solid Particle Protection:

Object size protected against: Dust protected

Effective against: Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment; complete protection against contact (dust proof).

Liquid Ingress Protection:

Protected Against: Water jets

Testing For: Water projected by a nozzle (6.3 mm) against enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects.

An enclosure that can meet the preceding two requirements is IP55 Testing compliant.

IP56 Test

IP56 testing involves testing an enclosure for the following solid particle protection and liquid ingress protection:

Solid Particle Protection:

Object size protected against: Dust protected

Effective against: Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment; complete protection against contact (dust proof).

Liquid Ingress Protection:

Protected Against: Powerful water jets

Testing For: Water projected in powerful jets (12.5 mm nozzle) against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects.

An enclosure that can meet the preceding two requirements is IP56 Testing compliant.

IP57 Test

IP57 testing involves testing an enclosure for the following solid particle protection and liquid ingress protection:

Solid Particle Protection:

Liquid Ingress Protection:

Protected Against: Immersion up to 1 meter

Testing For: Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1 m of submersion).

An enclosure that can meet the preceding two requirements is IP57 Testing compliant.

IP64 Test

IP64 testing involves testing an enclosure for the following solid particle protection and liquid ingress protection:
