IPX7 and IPX8

IPX7 and IPX8 testing evaluate a product's ability to withstand water immersion, making it ideal for products that may be submerged or exposed to prolonged moisture. In IPX7 testing, products are submerged in water to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. This test is suitable for items like smartphones, fitness trackers, and outdoor cameras that need protection against accidental submersion or brief water exposure. In contrast, IPX8 testing is more rigorous, as it involves deeper immersion or longer durations, customized to specific product requirements. Devices such as high-end diving watches, underwater cameras, and specialized marine electronics typically undergo IPX8 testing, as they must withstand consistent and intense water exposure without damage. Testing products to IPX7 and IPX8 standards ensures their functionality and durability in wet environments, providing consumers with confidence that their products will work reliably in water-prone conditions. Assured Testing Services offers both IPX7 and IPX8 testing with the expertise needed to ensure that products meet high standards of water resistance for consumer safety and product longevity.
