Impact (IK) Testing

IK testing evaluates the impact resistance of enclosures, ensuring durability and compliance with safety standards across various industries.

IK testing is a vital procedure to determine the impact resistance of enclosures and electrical devices. This test assesses a product’s durability against mechanical impacts, ensuring it can withstand external forces encountered in real-world conditions.

IK ratings, which range from IK00 to IK10, indicate the level of protection an enclosure provides against physical impact.

Our advanced testing facilities accurately simulate various impact scenarios, providing detailed insights into a product’s robustness. IK testing is essential for industries such as electrical, construction, and telecommunications, ensuring that products remain functional and safe even under harsh conditions, thereby meeting international safety and quality standards.
