KingPo HCT IEC 60335 Test Equipment Delivered to Korea
Seoul, Korea — Jun 2021 — High-precision KingPo HCT IEC 60335 test equipment was successfully delivered to HCT Korea laboratory. This strategic project significantly strengthens HCT’s capabilities in household appliance safety certification and provides manufacturers with more reliable compliance solutions under international standards.
Project Background and Strategic Importance
HCT is a leading accredited testing and certification laboratory in Korea, widely recognized for its rigorous evaluation services in electrical safety, environmental testing, and product performance. As a key partner for both domestic and international manufacturers, HCT plays an essential role in helping companies meet global regulatory requirements for household and similar electrical appliances.
In recent years, with the rapid evolution of smart home appliances, higher safety expectations, and stricter regulatory enforcement, HCT faced increasing demand for advanced, high-repeatability testing systems. To address these challenges and expand its testing capacity, HCT selected KingPo as its trusted equipment supplier to provide a complete IEC 60335 test equipment solution.
The IEC 60335 series is the fundamental international standard for the safety of household and similar electrical appliances. It covers critical safety aspects including protection against electric shock, resistance to heat and fire, mechanical durability, abnormal operation conditions, and protection against water ingress. This delivery enables HCT Korea laboratory to offer faster, more accurate, and fully compliant certification services to manufacturers across Korea and the Asia-Pacific region.
Delivered Testing Systems
The equipment package was custom-configured to precisely meet HCT’s laboratory accreditation requirements and daily operational workflows. The main systems delivered include:
- Electrical Safety Test Equipment: Comprehensive instruments designed for precise evaluation of leakage current, dielectric strength, insulation resistance, and ground continuity. These testers feature high-resolution measurement capabilities, automated test sequences, and excellent data repeatability.
- IPX1–IPX8 Waterproof Test Systems (IEC 60529): Integrated chambers with precise variable flow and pressure control, supporting both live and non-live testing. They are particularly suitable for verifying water ingress protection in humid environments typical of Korea.
- Flexible Cable Flexing Test Apparatus (IEC 60335-1 & IEC 60335-2-23): Specialized equipment for swivel and cord bending durability tests, ensuring the mechanical strength and long-term reliability of power cords and flexible cables used in household appliances.

On-Site Installation and Technical Training
KingPo’s senior engineering team personally traveled to the HCT Korea laboratory to provide complete on-site support. The scope of work included professional equipment installation, detailed environmental adaptation and calibration, multi-point performance verification, and comprehensive hands-on training sessions for HCT engineers.
The training program combined in-depth theoretical instruction on relevant IEC 60335 test methods with practical demonstrations, real-case simulations, result interpretation, data traceability, and routine maintenance procedures. HCT technical staff expressed high satisfaction with the equipment’s operational stability, measurement accuracy, and intuitive user interface, noting significant improvements in daily testing efficiency and workflow.
Results and Continued Partnership
This KingPo HCT IEC 60335 delivery has markedly enhanced HCT Korea laboratory’s testing throughput, data reliability, and overall certification capacity. Manufacturers in Korea can now benefit from faster turnaround times, more consistent safety test results, and greater confidence when bringing compliant household appliances to both domestic and global markets.
The successful project further consolidates KingPo’s reputation as a preferred long-term partner for leading Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) organizations. As a specialized manufacturer of IEC test equipment and environmental test chambers, KingPo remains committed to continuous technological innovation and exceptional service excellence.
Looking forward, both parties anticipate deeper collaboration, potentially expanding into additional testing categories and maintaining ongoing technical support. This partnership serves as a strong example of how effective cooperation between equipment manufacturers and accredited laboratories can elevate industry standards and operational efficiency across the region.
If your laboratory or manufacturing enterprise requires high-precision IEC 60335 test equipment, including Electrical Safety Test Equipment or Flexible Cable Flexing Test Apparatus, KingPo stands ready to provide tailored solutions, professional on-site commissioning, and reliable long-term technical support.
