IP tests for all types of protection

Waterproof against water and dust

Water, dust, high-pressure jets or immersion - we test your products under real conditions. Precise, practical and compliant with international standards.

IP tests - standard-compliant and reproducible for all component sizes

Protection for function and service life

Electronic and mechatronic components must be reliably protected against the ingress of water and dust. We ensure the tightness of your products with IP tests in accordance with DIN EN 60529:

from dripping water
splash water and water jets
to high-pressure/steam jet tests
and from dust-proof (IP5X)
to dust-tight (IP6X).

Our flexible systems are also suitable for large test specimens and deliver reproducible, reliable results.

Proof of tightness against water and dust

Examinations at a glance

Water tests (IPX1-IPX9K)

IPX1, IPX2: Dripping water
IPX3: Spray water (swivel arc, spray shower)
IPX4, IPX4K: Splash water (also with increased pressure)
IPX5, IPX6: (strong) water jets
IPX7, IPX8: temporary / permanent immersion
IPX9K: High pressure/steam jet (cleaning, "Kärcher test")

Dust tests (IP5X-IP6X)

IP5X: dust-proof (with/without negative pressure)
IP6X: dust-tight (with/without negative pressure)
Certified test dusts (talcum, Arizona Dust)

Individual adaptations

For special sizes, complex geometries or high test specimen weights, we adapt the test environment in a targeted manner: from customized clamping and adaptation systems to specific media guides. This means that IP tests remain precise and repeatable, even for demanding components - including documentary evidence.

Tightness as the foundation for quality and durability

Leak tests are just one part of our environmental simulation service portfolio. We test components and systems under realistic conditions: extreme temperatures, climatic changes, thermal shocks, corrosion, mechanical loads, chemical influences and combined tests. This is how we ensure function, service life and quality - from development to series release.
