IP68 & IP67 waterproof rating authority interpretation
IP Protection Rating (Ingress Protection Rating), the authoritative IEC standard defining the protection capability of electrical equipment enclosures.
IP XX class composition:
- First digit (0-6):Dust protection level - the higher the number, the stronger the dust protection, with 6 being the highest - completely dustproof and impenetrable to dust.
- Last digit (0-9K):Waterproof Rating - The higher the number, the more waterproof it is, Level 7 & 8 represent high level of waterproofing.
IP68 vs IP67 Core Differences:
- Dust protection rating: Complete consistency (level 6).
- Waterproof rating:
- IP67: Short immersion in water, with clear test conditions (1 meter of water, 30 minutes) for everyday waterproofing scenarios.
- IP68: Continuously deeper dives with tougher waterproofing and manufacturer customized, often more severe, test conditions for extended immersion and even diving.
Briefly:
- IP67: Worry-free daily waterproofingThe newest addition to the product line is the "Splash and Shine", which makes it easy to cope with splashes, rain, and accidental water falls.
- IP68: Underwater Free RideThe water is not afraid of prolonged immersion and challenges tougher water environments.
IP67 or IP68? On demand! For everyday electronic equipment, IP67 is sufficient; for outdoor sports and underwater equipment, IP68 or even higher ratings are required.

IV.IP68/IP67 Rating Test Program - Precision Engineering Practical Exercise
1. Preparatory phase:
- selection: SelectionDirect Pressure Airtightness TesterMatch product mass production needs with IP rating requirements.
- Customized Workwear: Customized IP-rated test fixtures simulate IP67/IP68 bathymetric pressures for reliable sealing and fast loading and unloading.
- parameterization: Precisely set test pressure (IP67 - Analog 10kPa+, IP68 - Manufacturer's customized, more demanding), holding time, test time (Longer for small leak detection), leakage threshold (Extremely low, exacting standards).
2. Test execution phase:
- Product Placement: Precise placement of the product in the workpiece to ensure sealing.
- startup test: Jingcheng EngineeringAirtightness TesterAutomates the IP rating test program.
- Data determination: Automatically determines Pass/Fail and records detailed data such as leakage rates.
3. Evaluation and validation of results:
- Air tightness test results::Initial assessment of sealingThe IP rating for the product is "Pass" for potential to meet the standard IP rating and "Fail" for poor sealing.
- IP rating verified by immersion testingThe final authoritative certification is to be sent to a certification body for an immersion test in accordance with IEC 60529 to obtain an IP certificate.
V. Precision EngineeringAirtightness Tester - IP Rating Test Five advantages:
- High precision and sensitivity: Accurately simulates water depth pressure, sensitively captures small leaks, and provides reliable data.
