Whether you need a specific test or a complete turnkey solution, METS Lab has a full line of services as it quotes ‘A Complete Solution For All Lab Analysis’. Successful companies turn to METS Lab because they are aware that scientific examination and analysis are essential when manufacturing sophisticated electronic products. Unmatched industries’ experience with our multi-step verification method has proven METS Lab apart as a superior testing facility.

Electrical and Electronic Product Testing

METS Lab Offers a broad spectrum of electrical and electronic product testing. We frequently inspect common products such as insulators, batteries, cables, wires, lights, connectors, circuits, breakers and other electronic components, determining the cause of electrical failures and affirming the soundness of working products. Electronic products need to be checked for safety-related issues such as overheating, electrical shock, vibrations and explosion.

What is an IP Rating?

An IP rating (Ingress Protection rating) shows how well an enclosure keeps out solid objects, dust and water. The rating has two digits after the letters “IP”. The first digit covers solids and dust, and the second digit covers water. A higher digit means stronger protection. If a product has not been tested for one type of protection, an “X” replaces that digit, as in IPX4.

First Digit: Protection Against Solids and Dust

The first digit runs from 0 to 6:

Second Digit: Protection Against Water

The second digit runs from 0 to 9:

IP Rating Testing at METS Lab

We test enclosures to IEC 60529, the standard that defines the IP Code. A manufacturer often needs this proof before selling lights, connectors, control panels, outdoor equipment or consumer devices. The test sequence usually runs as follows:

• Preparation: We check the sample and set it up as it would be installed and used.
• Solid and dust test: We expose the enclosure to probes or to a dust chamber, depending on the rating.
• Water test: We use drip boxes, spray nozzles, jet nozzles or an immersion tank, depending on the rating.
• Inspection: We open the enclosure and check for dust or water entry.
• Safety check: We run a dielectric test where needed, so the product stays safe after exposure.
• Report: We record the test conditions and the rating achieved.

Test Methods and IP Rating

• Test Method: IEC 60598-1, IEC 61010-1, IEC 62368-1, ISO IEC
• Dielectric test 
• IP rating test method: IEC 60529 (IP Code, degrees of protection provided by enclosures)
