IEC 60529 IPX1-IPX8 Integrated Waterproof Test System 1000L Stainless Steel
When laboratories and certification teams plan for enclosure testing, the hardest part is rarely the test itself — it is the number of separate rigs traditionally required to cover IPX1 through IPX8. This integrated IPX1–IPX8 waterproof test system was developed by our engineering team after years of field feedback from test houses and manufacturers, and it brings vertical drip, oscillating tube, spray nozzle, hose jet and immersion functions into a single 1000L chamber. Instead of moving samples between machines, technicians can run an entire waterproof test sequence on one platform.
The system is designed and manufactured in accordance with IEC 60529:2013 (Degrees of protection provided by enclosures) and supports the clause 15 requirements of IEC 60335-1 where relevant. Every water circuit, flow rate and drip geometry is checked against the standard before the unit leaves our facility. Flow, pressure, oscillation angle and dwell time are controlled through a PLC and a 7-inch color touch screen, so operators can store and repeat test programs rather than re-adjusting pipework each time.
- One footprint, full coverage: IPX1–IPX8 capability without owning five separate machines.
- Reproducible results: PLC programs lock in flow, pressure and timing across runs.
- Corrosion-resistant construction: SUS304 stainless steel tank and frame resist long-term water exposure.
- Water and energy aware: A recirculation loop reduces total consumption during long certification campaigns.
- Live sample testing: Internal power feed allows energised testing where the standard permits.
The system is used across EV charger (charging pile) manufacturing, luminaire and lighting production, automotive and motorcycle component suppliers, household appliance makers and outdoor electronics brands. If your product must declare an IP rating on the label, this platform provides a traceable validation route from IPX1 to IPX8.

We support buyers through selection, layout planning and commissioning. Share your sample size, target IP grades and certification standard, and our team will return a free test proposal outlining the configuration that fits your workflow — including fixture suggestions so the chamber arrives ready to run.
Yes. The 1000L chamber accepts sizable enclosures, and custom internal fixtures can be added for your specific product shape.
Flow, pressure and timing instruments can be supplied with a calibration report on request, supporting traceable test records.
Tank dimensions, nozzle sets and control options can be tailored to your standard and lab space.
