Outdoor electronics need dustproof test and waterproof test according to IEC and other standards

Image
Tests for dustproofing and waterproofing are often required for outdoor electronics, including outdoor lighting fixtures, security cameras, and other similar products, in order to comply with international standards such as those established by the IEC and others. These tests are meant to assess the capability of the device to endure exposure to external conditions such as dust, moisture, and other components that have the potential to cause damage and affect its ability to perform properly. The IEC60529 standard outlines testing procedures and requirements for evaluating the ingress protection (IP) rating of electrical equipment against dust, moisture, and other environmental factors. This rating is used to determine how well electrical equipment can withstand the effects of its surroundings. The amount of protection that an item offers against dust and moisture is rated using a system called IP, and that rating is given a numerical number. For instance, an equipment rating of IP66...
