IP Rating Test – UMSPCS

Your product must be able to handle harsh conditions such as water, dust, heat, exposure, and everyday use. An IP Rating Test shows how well your product performs against dust and water. It gives buyers confidence and makes your product market ready.

At UMSPCS, we help you get the right IP rating quickly and accurately. We guide you through the entire process.

What is an IP Rating ?

IP stands for Ingress Protection. An IP rating tells how well a product resists water and solid particles like dust. It is like a performance score for protection. An IP rating usually has two numbers:

The first number shows protection against solids like dust and dirt.
The second number shows protection against water.

For example, IP65 means moderate dust protection and strong water spray resistance.

Why is IP Rating Important?

Many products are used outdoors or in rough conditions. Examples include:

Outdoor lights
Smart watches
Industrial equipment
Cables and connectors
Cameras and sensors
Home appliances

If a product is exposed to rain, dust, or humidity, you need a valid IP rating. An IP rating tells the market that your product is tested and safe.

What Does the IP Rating Test Do?

The IP rating test checks your product’s ability to resist:

Dust and small particles
Water jets
Water immersion
Hand sprays
Dust storms

The test simulates real-world conditions in a controlled lab. The result is an IP grade that you can use in product specifications and labelling.
