IP protection class testing
The AUCOTEAM test laboratory conducts protection class testing for numerous industries and application cases. In our accredited test laboratory we test dust protection, contact protection, foreign body protection and water protection, and also conduct sealing integrity tests.
Your options at our certified test laboratory:
Splash water testing IPX4K using standardised spray curve
Testing in the dust chamber with talcum
Dust testing with Arizona dust in line with automotive standard
High-pressure steam jet test IPX6K at 10 bar water pressure and 10° C water temperature, distance approx. 2,50 m
Tank, flow metering devices, and pump for jet-water test IPX6 and IPX6K
