Ensuring that lighting products meet international standards such as IP65, IP67, or IP68 for water resistance.
Ensuring that Lighting Products Meet International Standards Protecting Your Business with IP65, IP67, and IP68 Certification
In todays highly competitive market, businesses in the lighting industry face increasing pressure to deliver high-quality products that meet stringent international standards. One critical aspect of this is ensuring that lighting products can withstand exposure to water and moisture without compromising their performance or reliability. At Eurolab, we specialize in providing a laboratory service that helps businesses achieve this crucial milestone through IP65, IP67, or IP68 certification.
What does IP65, IP67, or IP68 mean?
IP (Ingress Protection) rating is an international standard used to classify the degree of protection provided by enclosures against solid foreign objects and water. The rating consists of two digits, with each digit indicating a specific level of protection
First Digit Measures protection against solid foreign objects (e.g., dust, tools)
0 No protection
1 Protection against objects larger than 50mm (e.g., accidental touch by hand)
2 Protection against objects larger than 5mm (e.g., fingers or similar objects)
3 Protection against objects larger than 5mm (e.g., tools or wires)
Second Digit Measures protection against water (liquid ingress)
For lighting products, achieving an IP65, IP67, or IP68 rating is essential for industries where exposure to moisture or water is unavoidable. Heres a brief explanation of each rating
IP65 Protected against solid objects larger than 5mm and limited dust ingress; protected against low-pressure jets of water from any direction.
IP67 Protected against solid objects larger than 5mm and complete dustproofing; protected against immersion in water up to 1 meter (28 feet) for 30 minutes.
IP68 Protected against solid objects larger than 5mm and complete dustproofing; protected against immersion beyond 1 meter (28 feet), with no time limit.
