IK Testing

khudson • May 20, 2021

As a commitment to our customers, SLP continues to invest heavily in research and development, along with having the very latest technology in our plants. Our products begin with our own in-house testing on prototypes and samples to ensure they will be certified to the markets standards.

Damage to enclosures may impair the proper functioning of installed equipment (e.g., machine control systems) or, in the worst case, even render it inoperative. In addition to IP protection (protection against dust, contact and water), enclosures must also have adequate protection against external mechanical impacts.

The relevant protection category that specifies an enclosure’s resistance to impacts and shocks is the IK code. The IK code classification is established using a standardized testing method in line with IEC 62262.
