IEC 60079 Vertical Impact Test Equipment for Explosion-Proof Enclosures
The apparatus adopts a vertical drop-weight testing method. A hemispherical impact element falls freely from a specified height through a guide tube to generate accurate and repeatable impact energy. The stable structure and release system help ensure reliable testing results for IECEx and ATEX compliance testing.
The release system is available in both manual release and electromagnetic release configurations to meet different testing requirements.
It is widely used by testing laboratories, certification organizations, and manufacturers of explosion-proof electrical equipment.
Standards
The apparatus is designed according to the following standards:
- IEC 60079-0
- IEC 60079-0 Figure A.3
- IECEx Testing Requirements

- ATEX Related Test Requirements
The impact energy is calculated according to:
E = mgh
Where:
- E = Impact Energy
- m = Impact Mass
- g = Gravity Acceleration
- h = Drop Height
