Ingress Protection (IP Testing)

Particle Tehnology houses two dust chambers for IP testing to BS EN 60529 or ISO 20653.  Our large dust chamber is 4 x 4 x 3m and has a 2m access door which is extendable to 2.5m, our small dust chamber is 0.9m x 0.9m x 0.6m.  We always use certified and traceable dusts and have UKAS accreditation for dust testing, so you can be confident that our test results are accurate and repeatable.  We can test to the following levels for ingress protection against foreign objects (dust testing):

  • IP3X
  • IP4X
  • IP5X
  • IP6X

We can also perform UKAS accredited water tests to the following levels:

  • IPX4
  • IPX5
  • IPX6

This allows us to give your products a full UKAS accredited IP rating (e.g. IP66) to meet the demands of your customers.  Our facilities allow us to offer IP ratings on very large enclosures, such as those used on the railways and motorway networks.
