These tests can be found on the International Electrotechnical Commission website. The strength and length of the water jet and spray that is used in the IPX5 and IPX6 waterproof level testing are the primary factors that differentiate the two. The IPX5 waterproof test consists of directing a water jet spray onto the product from a minimum distance of 3 meters for a minimum of 3 minutes. This test must be performed three times. The IPX5 test is designed to guarantee that a product can resist a water jet spray without allowing any water to enter the internal workings of the gadget. This is the primary objective of the test.
