IPX5, IPX6, and IPX6k

The IPX5, IPX6, and IPX6K tests are designed to assess a product's resistance to stronger water jets and high-pressure water, simulating conditions that could be encountered in industrial or outdoor environments. IPX5 testing exposes products to low-pressure water jets from all directions, which is ideal for items like outdoor lighting fixtures, consumer electronics, and home appliances that might face heavy rain or splashing but don’t require extreme protection. In contrast, the IPX6 test uses higher-pressure jets for a more intense exposure, making it suitable for more robust products like marine electronics, automotive lighting, and outdoor power tools that may encounter heavy water spray or rain at higher force. IPX6K offers even greater protection, using water jets at an even higher pressure and closer range, specifically intended for demanding applications in industrial machinery, heavy-duty vehicles, and automotive components subjected to severe water exposure during operation or cleaning. Assured Testing Services performs IPX5, IPX6, and IPX6K tests with precision and expertise, helping clients verify the resilience of their products in a variety of challenging environments.
