To conduct IP testing per IEC 60529 in Canada, the following general steps are typically taken:
1. Identify the product to be tested: Determine the specific product to be tested and the intended application to determine the required IP rating.
2. Choose an accredited testing laboratory: Select a testing laboratory that is accredited by relevant organizations such as the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and the Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation (CALA).
3. Submit the product for testing: Submit the product to the testing laboratory along with any relevant documentation or specifications.
4. Perform the IP testing: The testing laboratory will perform various tests on the product to determine its IP rating. These tests may include dust ingress testing, water ingress testing, and impact resistance testing.
5. Receive the test report: Once testing is complete, the laboratory will provide a report detailing the test results, including the product’s IP rating.
It’s important to note that the specific testing procedures and requirements may vary depending on the product being tested and the laboratory conducting the testing. It’s best to consult with the testing laboratory directly to determine the specific testing procedures and requirements for your product. Additionally, the cost of IP testing in Canada can vary depending on various factors, such as the type of product being tested, the specific IP rating being tested for, and the testing laboratory’s fees. It’s recommended to contact the testing laboratory directly to obtain an accurate cost estimate based on your specific requirements.
