ISO 20653 testing

essais étanchéité tests IP

The 6NAPSE Group carries out ISO 20653 testing to assess the protection of equipment against water and dust.

What is ISO 20653 standard?

ISO 20653 is designed specifically for electrical and electronic components used in road vehicles. It adapts the more general IEC 60529 standard (which defines IP codes) by adding specific requirements for the automotive sector.

Which systems are covered by ISO 20653?

ISO 20653 specifically focuses on the protection of electrical equipment in road vehicles.
  • Vehicle lighting (LED and halogen lamps, work lights, taillights, LED bars, rotating beacons, etc.).
  • Electronic sensors and control systems.
  • Enclosures of electronic components located in harsh environments.
  • Electrical equipment and electronic devices in passenger vehicles, buses, motorcycles, and other parts and components that must be tested in high-pressure washdown environments (e.g., IPX9K).

ISO 20653 testing for road vehicle equipment

The 6NAPSE Group conducts ingress protection tests to assess the protection of electrical equipment against foreign bodies, water, and contact (e.g., dust). In particular, we verify the enclosure’s compliance with the protection ratings (IP codes).

Our tests specifically measure:

  • Protection of electrical equipment inside the enclosure against the ingress of foreign bodies, including dust (foreign body protection);
  • Protection of personnel against access to hazardous parts inside the enclosure (access protection);
  • Protection of electrical equipment inside the enclosure against the effects of water ingress (water protection);

Water-resistant tests include water infiltration (IPX1), rainproofing (IPX2, IPX3), water projection (IPX4), spraying (IPX4K, IPX5, IPX6, IP6K), immersion (IPX7, IPX8), and Karcher (IPX9K) tests.

The testing laboratory regularly conducts tests according to IEC 60529:2013 standards.
