Ingress Protection (IP) Test
Testing devices for ingress protection is one of the essential elements of the engineering cycle to ensure they can withstand the environmental conditions they encounter. Manufacturers generally protect their mobile devices from exposure to environmental contaminants by using rugged seals in the housings. BAPL has the facilities for Ingress Protection to Solid Objects and Water, like Dust Test chamber, Rain Test setup, Balls, Probes etc. The level of protection of a product is signified by a number like IP1X to IP 6X & IP X1 to IP X9 where the first number is the ingress protection against solid bodies, and the second number is protection against liquids. Ingress Protection (IP) Test as per IS/IEC 60529/IS 12063: 1987/IS 13947-1/IS 60034: Part 5 and various National and International Standards.
