IP Protection Chamber, also named spray water tester, IP testing (Ingress Protection) is designed to certify a product’s resistance to the intrusion and or ingress by foreign objects as defined by BS EN 60529:1992. It certifies a product’s resistance to intrusion by foreign objects and water and is signified by the IP testing coding IPXX. The IP protection chamber meet the standard such as IEC 60034-5/ 2006, IEC 60529/ 2001-02, IEC 60598-1/ 2008-01 and IEC 60947-1/ 1999-02.
Operating Conditions Requirements for IP Protection Chamber – Spray Water Tester: Operating conditions requirements for IP protection chambers are critical to ensure that the chamber functions correctly and meets the required standards. The chambers must be installed in a suitable environment, free from sources of electromagnetic interference and vibration, and with a stable power supply. The temperature and humidity levels of the surrounding area must also be controlled to prevent any interference with the chamber’s internal environment.
