I need to test an enclosure to see that it passes IP65 for water testing. Can anyone advise how this should be done? Does anyone have a good guide to what all the IP specs are for, and how they should be tested?
Hi, Please check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code http://pdfserv.maxim-ic.com/en/an/AN4126.pdf This are links to the IEC 60529 ( NEMA 250 equivalent) International standard for protection and water intrusion for enclosures or "Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code)" that explain in detail what each number represents.

Thanks, but do you know what equipment I can use to run my own tests for IP65, IP66 & IP67 water tests? Is there some cheap equipment available on the market or do I need to spend lots of money in a test-house?
