KingPo CTK IEC 60529 IP Test Equipment Supports Korea Certification
Gyeonggi-do, South Korea — Jul 2014 — KingPo IEC 60529 IP test equipment was successfully utilized by CTK Co., Ltd. laboratory during the IP6X dust-tight and IPX7 temporary immersion certification testing of a digital mobile radio (model DX-8450 / CP395U) for CPS Telecom Limited. This project demonstrates KingPo’s proven reliability in supporting accredited Korean laboratories with high-precision ingress protection testing.
Project Background and Strategic Importance
CTK Co., Ltd., located in Yongin-shi, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, is a respected accredited testing laboratory specializing in electrical safety, environmental performance, and product compliance evaluation. In Jul 2014, CTK received a quality control test request from CPS Telecom Limited (Hong Kong) for a digital mobile radio. Comprehensive IP code testing was conducted in accordance with KS C IEC 60529:2006 (equivalent to IEC 60529) between May 1 and May 11, 2014, with the final report issued on July 18, 2014.
To achieve the stringent IP6X (dust-tight) and IPX7 (temporary immersion) ratings — essential for communication devices operating in harsh environments — CTK employed KingPo’s advanced IP test systems. The equipment delivered consistent, repeatable results that fully satisfied the standard’s demanding criteria for protection against solid foreign objects and water ingress.
The IEC 60529 standard defines the degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code) against solid foreign objects and water. Achieving IP6X and IPX7 ratings is critical for ensuring long-term reliability and user safety of products such as digital mobile radios. KingPo’s equipment played a key role in enabling CTK to produce authoritative, internationally recognized test results.
KingPo Equipment Utilized in the Testing
KingPo systems used by CTK in this project included:
- Dust Test Chambers (including KingPo models for IP6X verification): Configured for controlled talcum powder testing (2 kg/m³, 75 µm sieve) under suction pressure conditions, confirming no dust ingress after 8 hours.
- IPX Waterproof Test Systems: Precision hose nozzles (6.3 mm and 12.5 mm) supporting jet and spray tests with adjustable flow rates and distances.
- Immersion Test Equipment: Specialized tanks enabling accurate IPX7 temporary immersion (lowest point of enclosure 1 m below water surface for 30 minutes), with no water ingress observed.
Technical Specifications (IPX Waterproof Test Systems)
| Parameter | Specification | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Water Flow Rate | 0.07–100 L/min (adjustable) | IEC 60529 |
| Nozzle Diameter | 6.3 mm / 12.5 mm | IEC 60529 |
| Test Distance | 2.5 m – 3 m | IEC 60529 |
| Immersion Depth | 1 m (IPX7) | IEC 60529 |
| Test Duration | Programmable up to 30 min | IEC 60529 |
| Data Output | RS485 / USB, real-time recording | IEC 60529 |
The systems demonstrated excellent stability and ease of calibration, enabling CTK to complete the full test program efficiently and accurately.
Test Results
The test sample successfully passed both requirements:
- IP6X: The access probe did not penetrate, and no ingress of dust was observed.
- IPX7: No ingress of water occurred during the 30-minute immersion test.
These results were formally documented in CTK Report No. CTK-2018-02109, confirming full compliance for quality control purposes.
Technical Validation and Support
KingPo’s IP test equipment performed reliably under real laboratory conditions, contributing directly to the successful certification outcome. This 2014 project validates the precision and suitability of KingPo systems for demanding ingress protection testing in accredited environments.
Results and Continued Partnership
This successful utilization of KingPo IEC 60529 IP test equipment further strengthens CTK’s testing capabilities for household appliances, communication devices, and similar products. Manufacturers benefit from faster, more reliable IP6X and IPX7 results, accelerating time-to-market for compliant items in both domestic KC and international markets.
The project highlights KingPo’s commitment to supporting world-class Korean laboratories with high-precision, standards-compliant solutions. As a specialized manufacturer of IEC test equipment and environmental test chambers, KingPo continues to build long-term trust through technical excellence and professional service.
KingPo looks forward to ongoing collaboration with CTK and other leading accredited laboratories, contributing to higher industry standards in safety and environmental testing across Korea and beyond.
