Ed circulating talcum powder in a dust chamber for 8 hours with the exposure time being determined by the testing conditions for the specific item. This testing is performed with a maximum pressure of 20 mbar inside the it emunder test, and with a maximum abstraction rate of 60 volumes per hour. Protection Index Against Water entry, This test specify the second digit of the Protection Index ( IPXI, IPX2, IPX3, IPX4, IPX5, IPX6, IPX7, IPX8), meaning protection against water entry into the fixture according to the) BS EN 60598 1 IEC 60598 1, IEC60529.1. IPX1, Protected against dripping water, Specification, The enclosure is exposed to dripping water with a flow rate of 1 mm per min for 10minutes. Acceptance for Class IP X1 requires no water to have penetrated into the item in such a quantity, or in such a position as to prevent satisfied operation of the item or to present a safety risk.2. IPX2, Protection against dripping water at tilted to 15 degrees, Specification, The enclosure is exposed to dripping water during 4 positions for 2.5 minutes, with a flow rate of 3 mm per min. The enclosure is tested in four fixed positions of 15 degree from normal position Acceptance for the Class IP X2 requires no water to have penetrated into the item in such a quantity or in a position as to prevent the satisfactory operation of the item or to present a safety risk.3. IPX3,Protected against spraying water, Specification, The enclosure is exposed to water spray from a oscillated tube with each spray jet give a flow rate of 0.07 l per min, for 10 minutes. Alternative, a standardized spray nozzle, producing a spray of10 l per min may be used. If this spray nozzle is used, the exposed time is 1minperm square with a minimum time of of five minutes Regardless to the type of test equipment, water spraying is limited to 60 from the Acceptance for Class IP X3requires no water to have penetrate the item in a quantity, or in such a position as to prevent satisfactory operation of the item or to present a safety risk.4. IPX4, Protected against splashing water, Specification, The enclosures exposed to water spray from an oscillated tube with each spray nozzle give a flow rate of 0.07 l per min, for 10 minutes Alternative, a standardized spray nozzle, producing a spray of10 l per min may be used for the spray nozzle is used in the exposure time is 1minperm square , with a minimum time of five minute for water is splashed against the enclosure from all the directions. Acceptance for Class IP X4requires no water to have penetrate into the item in such a quantity, or in such a positions to prevent satisfactory operation of the item or to present a safety risk.5. IPX5,Protected against water jets, Specification, The enclosure is subjected to a jet of water from a nozzle 6,3 mm internal diameter at a distance of 2,5 to 3 m from the EUT under testing. The water flow rate 12,5 l per min is applied for time of 1 min per m square with a minimum test duration of 3 minutes. Acceptance for Class IP X5 requires no water to have penetrate into the item in such a quantity or in such a position as to prevent satisfactory operation of the it emor to present a safety risk.6. IPX6, Protected against powerful water jets, Specification, The enclosure is subjected to a jet of water from a nozzle of 12,5 mm diameter at a distance of2,5 to 3 m from the EUT under test. The water flow rate is 100 l per min applied for a time of 1 min per m square, with a minimum of 3 minutes. Acceptance for Class IP X6 requires no water to have penetrate into the item in such a quantity or in such a position as to prevent satisfactory operation of the it emor to present a safety risk.7. IPX7, Temporary immersion in the water, Specification, The test is made by complete immersion of the EUT in water in its service position. The enclosure is immersed to the depth of 1 meter with the duration time of 30 minutes. Acceptance for Class IPX7 requires no water to have penetrate into the item in such a quantity, or in such position to prevent satisfactory operation of the item or to present a safety risk.8. IPX8, Continuous immersion in water, Specification, The test is made by complete immersing the EUT in water. Test conditions are subject to agreement between the company the and user. Acceptance for the Class IP X8 requires no water to have penetrate into the item in a quantity or in such a position to prevent satisfactory operation of the item or to present a safety risk.
