EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of VDE 0470-1 testing. VDE 0470-1 is a German standard that specifies the degrees of protection provided by enclosures for electrical equipment against the ingress of solids and liquids. The standard is also known as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60529 standard, which is widely used internationally.
The standard defines a two-digit IP (Ingress Protection) code to indicate the degree of protection provided by an enclosure. The first digit indicates the degree of protection against solid objects, and the second digit indicates the degree of protection against liquids.
The first digit ranges from 0 to 6 and defines the level of protection against solid objects such as dust and dirt. The higher the number, the higher the protection against solid objects. For example, an enclosure with an IP6X rating provides the highest level of protection against dust.
The second digit ranges from 0 to 9 and defines the level of protection against liquids such as water. The higher the number, the higher the protection against liquids. For example, an enclosure with an IPX9K rating provides the highest level of protection against high-pressure, high-temperature water.
In general, the higher the IP rating, the higher the protection provided by the enclosure. It is important to select the appropriate protection level for the particular application to ensure the safety and reliability of electrical equipment.
