Aldo Compliance and Testing Labs Pvt Ltd can assist Electrical Safety testing against IP Testing for following types of products/standards:
We have below test facility at present in our;
1. IP 1X, IP 2X, IP 3X, IP 4X for protection of machine against Penetration by solid foreign objects
2. IP 5X for Dust Protection
3. IP 6X for Dust Protection
4. IP X3, IP X4, IP X5, IP X6, IP X7 & IP X8 for protection against ingress of water.
Ingress protection (IP) testing at ITC India NABL accredited Electrical Safety Testing laboratory can determine a products susceptibility to solid particle (including dust) ingress and liquid ingress (water).
