IPX1 IPX2 Waterproof Test Chamber Manufacturer – BONAD Waterproof Test Equipment
Box-Type Drip Chamber Standard
In accordance with IEC 60529: 2001 “Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code)”
Product Introduction
The IPX1 IPX2 waterproof test chamber is specialized testing equipment designed to evaluate the degree of protection provided by electronic products against water ingress. It simulates rain and dripping water conditions to assess waterproof performance in accordance with international standards such as IEC 60529.
The IPX1 IPX2 waterproof test chamber features a durable stainless steel construction and a transparent viewing window, allowing operators to monitor the testing process clearly. The chamber is equipped with a controlled water supply system and precision drip nozzles to generate uniform water droplets under specified test conditions.
During IPX1 and IPX2 testing, the product under test is placed inside the chamber and exposed to controlled dripping water for a defined period. Any water ingress is evaluated to determine the enclosure’s level of protection.
For applications with limited floor space, BONAD also offers a wall-mounted IEC 60529 IPX1 IPX2 dripping water test apparatus, providing the same test functions in a space-saving installation design.
Applications
This IPX1 IPX2 drip test equipment is widely used for:
- Electrical and electronic products.
- Lighting fixtures and luminaires.
- Household appliances.
- Industrial control enclosures.
- Automotive electrical components.
- Outdoor electrical equipment.
It is suitable for R&D verification, production quality control, and third-party laboratory testing.
Applicable Standards
- IEC 60529 – Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code).
- ISO 20653 – Road vehicles – Degrees of protection (when applicable).
Test Capabilities
IPX1 – Vertical Dripping Water Test
Evaluates protection against vertically falling water drops. Water drips uniformly from above the test specimen at a specified flow rate for a defined duration.
IPX2 – Tilted Dripping Water Test
Assesses enclosure protection when dripping water falls at up to 15° from vertical, simulating light rain exposure from different angles.

FAQ
1. What is IPX1 testing?
IPX1 testing evaluates protection against vertically falling water drops when the enclosure is in its normal operating position. Water drips uniformly from above for a specified duration to verify that water ingress does not impair product performance.
2. What is IPX2 testing?
IPX2 testing assesses protection against dripping water when the enclosure is tilted up to 15° from its normal position. This simulates light rain exposure from different angles to verify enclosure integrity.
3. Is this chamber suitable for both IPX1 and IPX2 testing?
Yes. This waterproof test chamber supports both IPX1 and IPX2 testing. The flow rate and tilt angle can be adjusted according to the specific test requirements.
