    Introduction: Meeting the Growing Demand for IP67 Compliance

    As products are increasingly deployed in dusty, humid, or temporarily submerged environments, IP67 ingress protection has become a baseline requirement across multiple industries.
    From electronic enclosures and automotive components to outdoor lighting and industrial devices, manufacturers must demonstrate that their products can withstand complete dust ingress protection and temporary water immersion before entering the market.

    A reliable IP67 test equipment is therefore essential—not only to achieve compliance with IEC 60529, but also to ensure consistent, repeatable, and certification-ready test results throughout product development and qualification.


    Understanding IP67 Testing Requirements (IEC 60529)

    According to IEC 60529, IP67 consists of two independent protection levels:

    IP6X — Dust-Tight Protection

    IP6X verifies that no dust can enter the enclosure under specified test conditions. This requires a sealed test environment, controlled dust circulation, and stable pressure conditions throughout the test duration.

    IPX7 — Temporary Water Immersion

    IPX7 evaluates resistance to water ingress when a product is immersed in water for a defined time and depth. The test must ensure uniform water pressure and stable immersion conditions to accurately assess enclosure integrity.

    Because dust and water ingress mechanisms are fundamentally different, each test stage must be performed under optimized and controlled conditions to ensure meaningful results.

    How IP67 Test Equipment Works

    LIB industry IP67 test equipment is designed as a complete testing solution, consisting of two dedicated systems:
    IP6X dust test equipment and IPX7 water immersion test equipment.
    Each system operates independently while fully complying with IEC 60529 requirements.


    Key Features of LIB Industry IP67 Test Equipment

    IP6X Dust Test Equipment — Reliable Dust-Tightness Verification

    The IP6X dust test equipment creates a fully enclosed and controlled dust environment to accurately evaluate a product’s resistance to dust ingress.

    Key features and benefits include:

    • Stable and Repeatable Dust Conditions
      Precisely controlled airflow and dust circulation ensure consistent test conditions throughout long-duration dust exposure, improving result repeatability.

    • Sealed Chamber Structure
      A reinforced sealing design minimizes dust leakage and pressure fluctuations, protecting both test accuracy and the surrounding laboratory environment.

    • Uniform Dust Distribution
      Optimized internal airflow allows dust to remain evenly suspended within the test space, eliminating dead zones and localized accumulation.

      Industrial-Grade Interior Construction
      The SUS304 stainless steel working chamber offers excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and easy cleaning, supporting high-frequency laboratory use.

      Support for Powered Testing
      Integrated power interfaces allow samples to remain energized during testing, enabling functional performance evaluation under dust exposure.

    IPX7 Water Immersion Test Equipment — Controlled Waterproof Performance Validation

    The IPX7 water immersion test equipment is engineered to simulate temporary submersion under controlled pressure conditions, ensuring reliable verification of waterproof integrity.

    Key features and benefits include:

    • Accurate Immersion Pressure Control
      The system maintains stable water pressure equivalent to specified immersion depths, ensuring compliance with IPX7 requirements and consistent test results.

    • Uniform Pressure Distribution
      A cylindrical tank structure ensures even water pressure on all surfaces of the test sample, eliminating localized stress variations.

    • Safe and Efficient Operation
      Secure locking mechanisms combined with automated lid control enable safe, one-touch operation while reducing operator workload.

    • Robust Tank Construction
      High-strength tank design supports repeated immersion cycles without deformation, ensuring long-term durability.

    • Stable Water Supply Management
      An integrated water supply system maintains consistent water levels throughout the test, improving repeatability and reducing manual intervention.

    Extended Ingress Protection Testing Capabilities

    While optimized for IP67 testing, LIB industry IP67 test equipment can be expanded to support additional ingress protection levels as testing needs evolve, including:

    • Dust protection levels such as IP5X and IP6X

    • Rain and spray tests from IPX1 to IPX6

    • High-pressure and high-temperature washing tests such as IPX9K

    This scalability allows laboratories and manufacturers to consolidate multiple ingress protection tests within a single supplier ecosystem.

    Brief Customization Options

    To accommodate different product sizes and testing requirements, LIB industry offers flexible configuration options, including:

    • Adjustable chamber dimensions for various DUT sizes

    • Optional immersion depths and test configurations

    • Compatibility with IEC 60529, ISO 20653, DIN 40050-9, and related standards

    Customization is provided as a supporting capability, ensuring the equipment aligns with real product testing needs without compromising standard compliance.
