IP2X



Degree of Protection IP 20 rates the degree of protection provided against the intrusion of solids larger than
12 mm Ø (ie. body parts such as fingers).
The protection is satisfactory if adequate clearance is kept between the access probe and hazardous parts.

Access to hazardous parts
For this test is used the "Jointed Test Finger" which may penetrate to its 80 mm length, but the stop face
(Ø 50 ×20 mm) shall not pass through the opening.
Starting from the straight position, both joints of the test finger shall be successively bent through an angle of up to 90°
with respect to the axis of the adjoining section of the finger and shall be placed in every possible position.

Solid foreign objects
For this test is used a "Sphere" of 12,5 mm Ø shall not fully penetrate.

IPX8


Degree of Protection IP X8 rates the degree of protection against the effect of continuous immersion in water.
Unless there is a relevant product standard, the test conditions are subject to agreement between manufacturer and user, but they shall be more severe than those prescribed for IPX7 Test and they shall take account of the condition that the enclosure will be continuously immersed in actual use.
As for the IPX8 degree (the degree of immersion) we can reach depths of 9500 meters, 950 bars (the limit is the sample size).

Summary

For larger products, we can accommodate samples in an autoclave with a diameter of 2 meters (2000 mm) and a height of 3.5 meters (3500 mm), simulating a depth of 500 meters (50 bar).
For smaller samples (maximum dimensions 9x4 cm), our small autoclave offers cost-effective testing up to a depth of 1500 meters (150 bar).
For medium-sized samples (up to 95x95x100 cm), we frequently use an autoclave for IPX8 tests at depths up to 40 meters (4 bar).
For tests requiring higher pressures, we offer additional configurations:

If your product is not listed, it doesn't mean we can't test it.

Our laboratory analyzes and certifies thousands of prototypes every year, from tiny sensors to massive industrial machinery.

Emctest Technologies is Italy's reference laboratory for Ingress Protection (IP) testing to IEC EN 60529, ISO 20653 and CEI EN 60034-5. We certify every IP rating defined by the applicable standards, from IP00 to IP69K and IPX9K, on products of any size, weight and complexity: from miniaturised electronic components to large industrial machinery, electrical panels, road vehicles and permanently installed systems. No product is too large, too heavy or too complex: when a sample cannot be transported to our laboratory in Rimini, our team travels directly On-Site to the customer's facility, anywhere in Italy and worldwide.

4. The data subject has the right to object, in whole or in part:
a) on legitimate grounds, to the processing of personal data concerning them, even though such data are relevant to the purpose of the collection;
b) to the processing of personal data concerning them for the purposes of sending advertising material or direct selling or for the carrying out of market research or commercial communication.

Art. 13 — Notice
1. The data subject or the person from whom personal data are collected shall be previously informed, orally or in writing, of:
a) the purposes and methods of the processing for which the data are intended;
b) the mandatory or optional nature of providing the data;
c) the consequences of any refusal to reply;
d) the subjects or categories of subjects to whom the personal data may be communicated or who may learn of them as data processors or persons in charge, and the scope of dissemination of the data;

The notice referred to in paragraph 1 also contains the elements provided for by specific provisions of this Code and may not include elements already known to the person providing the data or the knowledge of which may concretely hinder the performance, by a public body, of inspection or control functions carried out for purposes of defence or state security or for the prevention, detection or prosecution of offences.
3. The Supervisory Authority may identify by its own measure simplified methods for the notice provided in particular by telephone assistance and public information services.
4. Where personal data are not collected from the data subject, the notice referred to in paragraph 1, including the categories of data processed, shall be given to the data subject at the time of registration of the data or, where their communication is envisaged, not later than the first communication.
