What testing procedures are performed for IP69K certification?

IP69K testing includes dust-tight testing in an Arizona A2 Dust chamber and high-pressure steam jet cleaning with water sprays of 1160–1450 psi at 176°F (80°C).

What are the water spray conditions during IP69K testing?

During IP69K testing, water is sprayed from four different angles, at a distance of 4–6 inches, and temperatures of 176°F (80°C).

What is the dust testing procedure for IP69K products?

IP69K products are dust-tight tested in an Arizona A2 Dust 2kg/m³ chamber for 6 seconds at a time, every 15 minutes for five hours.

What is the highest ingress protection rating for Federal Signal products?
