What is IP Ingress protection testing? 

Ingress Protection testing, or IP testing, is a comprehensive evaluation process designed to assess your product's vulnerability to the infiltration of solid particles, such as sand or dust, and the penetration of liquids, e.g. water. This testing methodology is crucial for various industries, and is used across a broad range of aviation, military and automotive applications. 
By completing this testing, your product will receive an IP rating, which is a standardised code across industries, and can be compared against the required standards for your product type.
