IK protection test standard

Usually, the application of IK codes, the degree of protection applies to the overall housing. The IK code IK code code indicates the enclosures level of protection against harmful mechanical collisions. The logo indicates that the enclosure is protected against external mechanical collisions using the IK code as specified below. If the relevant product committee decides to require a mark IK code, the mark requirements shall be specified in detail in its relevant product standards. The product standard shall also stipulate the marking method adopted in the following cases 1. The degree of protection of a certain part of the same shell is different from that of other parts 2. The installation status will affect the level of enclosure protection.

What is IK testing?

The IK rating is an international standard that indicates how resistant a product is to impact. The standard BS EN 62262 relates to IK ratings, to identify the degree of protection provided by enclosures for electrical equipment against external mechanical impacts.

Characteristic numbers of IK codes and their definitions

Each set of characteristic numbers represents a collision energy value, the correspondence between the IK code and its corresponding collision energy. In the IEC62262 protection class code, the IK code indicates the protection level of the shell against harmful mechanical collisions to the outside world, and the characteristic number combinations are 01 to 10, i.e. IK01, IK02, IK03, IK04, IK05, IK06, IK07, IK08, IK09 and IK10, collision energy J a 0.14 0. 2 0.35 0.5 0. 7 1 2 5 10 20 In these 10 levels, there are two groups of tests according to different levels of test levels: the first group is spring impact hammer test from IK01, IK02 to IK06, this group test has a smaller energy from 0.14J to 1J The other group is the pendulum test from IK07 IK08 to IK10 which tests with larger energies ranging from 2J to 20J.

For example IK10 vandal rating test refers to the shell impact resistance level of more than 10 that is, the shell can withstand more than 20J energy 5 times, of which the same point can not be impacted more than 4 times, the application of IK code is usually, the protection level is applicable to the overall shell. If some parts of the housing have different degrees of protection, they should be marked with the corresponding degree of protection.

Why are IK Rated products important?

IK Rated products are important especially if they are in public areas, high traffic areas, commercial environments and areas that are prone to vandalism. If a product becomes damaged, this can result in the product failing to work or even failing completely. Damage leads to additional costing to repair or replace, it also leads to the potential need to close areas to access. A broken product may also lead to a hazard especially in public areas, such as leftover debris or lack of required illumination or information.

IK Ratings can be subjective, and this is where the EN 62262 fails as the manufacturer has significant discretion in choosing where the impacts are located. And parts such as hinges and locks are excluded from testing therefore it is important to understand the manufacturers testing procedure as the enclosures IK rating can be affect by where the impacts were applied. Its worth noting that if it has an IK rating it must also meet the equivalent IP rating.

Within the scope of electrical test laboratory services, CDG also provides IK impact protection test services. Thanks to these services, businesses receive more effective, high-performance and quality testing services and provide safe, fast and uninterrupted service to their customers.

CDG is an ISO 17020 Accredited organization in India.

IK Rating or “Impact Protection” (the K is from 'Kinetic' to differentiate from IP rating) is defined in international standards and indicates the level of resistance an electrical enclosure provides against mechanical impact. IK ratings are an important factor when choosing LED lighting which may be fitted in an area that could be subject to rough environment, attempted vandalism or other impacts.

What do the IK Rating Numbers mean?

The numbers that follow the IK have a specific meaning and indicate the level of protection from mechanical impact. It is a 1 to 10 system with a higher number indicating a more robust product able to maintain safety at higher energy impacts.

How do we test for an IK Rating?

By applying the required amount of energy (joules) to the enclosure. We do these standard tests in a controlled environment by 'control dropping' set weights from set heights and angles onto the enclosure. To apply the correct amount of impact energy (joules) we use the specified method in the standard to deliver the energy. Strikes without bouncing are performed three times on the same spot. This test is performed at several locations on each test enclosure, looking for weaknesses, to ensure IK rating is valid for the whole product, not just the tougher bits.

PRINCIPLES

This rating can be decisive in a product selection. It doesn’t rate the mechanical life but the capacity of a product to face environmental aggressions.

Therefore it is a key feature for any product intended for consumer goods.

The IK impact resistance is rated through a specific test carried out with a “Charpy pendulum” impact tester.

This device measures the resistance of a product submitted to 3 repeated identical impacts.

The impact energy (in joules) depends on 2 elements:

The distance between the hammer and the tested sample

The hammer weight

According to the resistance level rated during the test, an IK code is assigned to the product. This code ranging from IK0 to IK10, determines the energy level the product can absorb.

Impact Protection IK Rating (Impact Protection) is a unit used to define levels of protection an electrical enclosure offers to any contents and assemblies housed inside.

00 – No impact protection

01 – Protected against 0.14 joules impact (similar to 0.25kg mass dropped from 56mm high)

02 – Protected against 0.2 joules impact (similar to 0.25kg mass dropped from 80mm high)

03 – Protected against 0.35 joules impact (similar to 0.25kg mass dropped from 140mm high)

04 – Protected against 0.5 joules impact (similar to 0.25kg mass dropped from 200mm high)

05 – Protected against 0.7 joules impact (similar to 0.25kg mass dropped from 280mm high)

06 – Protected against 1 joules impact (similar to 0.25kg mass dropped from 400mm high)

07 – Protected against 2 joules impact (similar to 0.5kg mass dropped from 400mm high)

08 – Protected against 5 joules impact (similar to 1.7kg mass dropped from 300mm high)

09 – Protected against 10 joules impact (similar to 5kg mass dropped from 200mm high)

10 – Protected against 20 joules impact (similar to 5kg mass dropped from 400mm high)

CDG is a leading ISO 17020 accredited organization in India. CDG is an ISO 17025 Accredited Testing Laboratory.

The IK Code, or impact rating, is an international numeric classification for the degrees of protection provided by enclosures for electrical equipment against external mechanical impacts.

It provides a means of specifying the capacity of an enclosure to protect its contents from external impacts. The IK Code is defined in the European Standard EN 62262.

EN 62262 also specifies the way enclosures should be mounted when tests are carried out, the atmospheric conditions that should prevail, the number of impacts (5) and their (even) distribution, and the size, style, material, dimensions etc. of the various types of hammer designed to produce the energy levels required.

What is an IK Rating?

An IK (Impact Protection) rating is a unit used to define the levels of protection an electrical enclosure offers to any contents and assemblies housed inside. This is calculated by measuring the enclosure's protection against external mechanical impacts.

To ensure your components are sufficiently protected, it’s important to understand the protection level offered from each rating and what IK rating you require for your application. An IK rating varies from 0 – 10, with IK10 offering the highest level of protection.

Its worth noting that if it has an IK rating it must also meet the equivalent IP rating. For example, if the enclosure maintains its IP66 rating after passing the test for IK06 protection it can be labelled as both IP66 and IK06. However, if after the enclosure passes testing for IK08 protection but only maintains 1p 54 protection, then it must be labelled as IK068 and IP54 protection or IK06 and IP66 but this cannot be labelled as IK08 and IP66 if one test impacts the others results.

Description of the IEC 62 262 standard

The IEC 62 262 standard describes how impact protection tests on enclosures are conducted. It is used to determine the protection provided against external stresses (damage to or effect of impact/energy on the enclosure) for safeguarding equipment. The protected equipment must not exceed a rated voltage of 72.5 kV. IK codes are expressed from low to high on a scale of 00 to 10 and prefixed with IK. Example: IK05. If a higher level of protection than IK10 is reached, the code is IK10+, regardless of the additional energy effect, with the standard recommending a value of 50 J (joules).The international IEC 62 262 standard is based on the European EN 50 102 standard, which has the same content. EN 50102 is also the German standard VDE 0470, Part 100.

The IK code refers to the entire enclosure. If individual sections such as the side panels of modular enclosures have a different IK code, this must be shown separately. IP protection categories for foreign bodies and water protection in line with IEC 60 529 are identified using the first two digits. The first digit indicates protection against contact and foreign bodies, while the second indicates water protection.

Digit Protection against water

0 No protection

1 Protection against vertically dripping water

2 Protection against diagonally (up to 15 degree) dripping water

3 Protection against falling spray water up to 60 degree from the vertical

4 Protection against spray water on all sides

5 Protection against water jets (nozzle) from any angle

6 Protection against powerful water jets (flooding)

7 Protection against temporary immersion

8 Protection against continuous immersion

9 Protection against high-pressure water

Basic principles

Enclosures and control cabinets are used throughout the world in all kinds of conditions and need to meet the strictest possible safety requirements. Protection category tests that focus on the extent to which external influences such as foreign bodies and water can penetrate enclosures play a key role in this regard. The IP protection category (International Protection) to IEC 60 529 and testing to NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association), 250-2003, Enclosures for Electrical Equipment (1000 Volts Maximum), which is significant for North America, are used in this area. The requirements for empty enclosures for low-voltage switchgear combinations are set out in the IEC 62 208 product standard.

Performing impact protection laboratory tests

Impact protection tests (classification for protection category against external mechanical stress) for empty enclosures to IEC 62 208 are performed in line with the IEC 62 262 test standard. The following testing conditions must be observed:

1) Installation

During the test, the enclosure must be secured appropriately, as in everyday use. This means the enclosure must not be tested freely suspended, for example, as it is not secured appropriately and this is also not in line with normal usage. Mounting on the floor or wall is in line with the conventional place of use and the specification of the standard.

2) Performing the impact protection test

An impact test is performed for every surface exposed in normal usage. Three stresses (damage to or effect of impact/energy on the enclosure) are applied to an enclosure with an area to be tested of less than 1 m in length, and a total of five for a length over 1 m. Stress must not be applied more than three times near the same point. However, all impacts must be distributed evenly over the object. In other words, the area must not be tested arbitrarily and must instead follow a certain symmetry.

3) Testing area on the enclosure:

Parts on the enclosure such as hinges, locks etc. are excluded from testing. Not only must the IP protection category be maintained after testing, but the insulation, opening and closing of the door and the installation and dismantling of the cover must also be ensured. The reliability of equipment (e.g. maintaining clearance and creepage distances) must continue to be ensured when testing (partially) configured enclosures as low-voltage switchgear and control gear assemblies in line with IEC 61 439-1. The test results vary depending on which points on the enclosure are subjected to impact testing. The most sensitive points on the enclosure can be tested most intensively by applying stress at up to a maximum of three neighboring points. However, no regulation exists on this and the less critical impact- and shock-proof points can be tested equally effectively. A lower or higher IK code may result, as the case may be. In this variable framework, the result of impact protection testing may be influenced by the manufacturer. In principle, the relevant points can be selected and are subject only to the criteria under 2), i.e. no regulation exists stating that the enclosure needs to be subjected to impact protection testing at points that are particularly sensitive to impact.

CDG provides mechanical impact protection IK rating test in India.

What is an IK Protection Rating?

IK ratings are defined as IK and a number from 00 to 10, this indicates the degree of protection provided by the electrical enclosures against external mechanical impacts.

IK Ratings (or impact protection ratings) are now the international standard for an enclosure around electrical equipment, IK Ratings were originally outlined in 1995 by the European standard BS EN 50102 and was later amended in 1997 with IEC 60068 2 75. This was then followed up in 2002 with the European standard EN62262 which is the equivalent of the international standard IEC 62262 (2002).

Before the standard use of IK ratings, a third numeral had been occasionally added to the ingress protection rating (IP rating) for example IP66(9), this nonstandard use was one of the main factors that lead to developing a standard. This standard came into effect within 1995 and any conflicting standards had to be withdrawn in 1997.

An IK Rating depicts the way the enclosures should be mounted for the tests to be carried out, even atmospheric conditions, how many impacts should be made (which is based on size of enclosure) and even distribution of the impacts, the size, style, dimensions and even material of the various types of hammer (object) designed to produce the energy levels required. This is then measured in joules.

What are the different IK Ratings?

IK00 There is no Protection.

IK01 Protected against 0.14 joules of impact (this is the equivalent to the impact of a 0.25kg mass dropped from 56mm above)

IK02 Protected against 0.2 joules of impact (this is the equivalent to the impact of a 0.25kg mass dropped from 80mm above)

IK03 Protected against 0.35 joules of impact (this is the equivalent to the impact of a 0.2kg mass dropped from 140mm above)

IK04 Protected against 0.5 joules of impact (the equivalent to the impact of a 0.25kg mass dropped from 200mm above the impacted surface)

IK05 Protected against 0.7 joules of impact (the equivalent to the impact of a 0.25kg mass dropped from 280mm above the impacted surface)

IK06 Protected against 1 joules of impact (the equivalent to the impact of a 0.25kg mass dropped from 400mm above the impacted surface)

IK07 Protected against 2 joules of impact (the equivalent to the impact of a 0.5kg mass dropped from 400mm above the impacted surface)

IK08 Protected against 5 joules of impact (the equivalent to the impact of a 1.7kg mass dropped from 300mm above the impacted surface)

IK09 Protected against 10 joules of impact (the equivalent to the impact of a 5kg mass dropped from 200mm above the impacted surface)

IK10 Protected against 20 joules of impact (the equivalent to the impact of a 5kg mass dropped from 400mm above the impacted surface)

CDG conduct impact protection test in Mumbai, India. CDG is an accredited testing services in India. Impact testing is testing an object's ability to resist high-rate loading. An impact test is a test for determining the energy absorbed in fracturing a test piece at high velocity. Most of us think of it as one object striking another object at a relatively high speed. WHY IS IMPACT TESTING IMPORTANT? Impact resistance is one of the most important properties for a part designer to consider, and without question, the most difficult to quantify. The impact resistance of a part is, in many applications, a critical measure of service life. More importantly these days, it involves the perplexing problem of product safety and liability. One must determine: The impact energies the part can be expected to see in its lifetime. The type of impact that will deliver that energy, and then Select a material that will resist such assaults over the projected life span Molded-in stresses, polymer orientation, weak spots (e.g. weld lines or gate areas), and part geometry will affect impact performance. Impact properties also change when additives, e.g. coloring agents, are added to plastics. DUCTILE VS. BRITTLE, Most real world impacts are biaxial rather than unidirectional. Further complication is offered by the choice of failure modes: ductile or brittle. Brittle materials take little energy to start a crack, little more to propagate it to a shattering climax. Other materials possess ductility to varying degrees. Highly ductile materials fail by puncture in drop weight testing and require a high energy load to initiate and propagate the crack. Many materials are capable of either ductile or brittle failure, depending upon the type of test and rate and temperature conditions. They possess a ductile/brittle transition that actually shifts according to these variables. Please contact us on [phone] Visit our website https://www.cdginspection.com/

CDG conduct impact protection test in Pune, India. CDG is an accredited testing services in India. Impact tests are used in studying the toughness of material. A material's toughness is a factor of its ability to absorb energy during plastic deformation. Brittle materials have low toughness as a result of the small amount of plastic deformation that they can endure. The impact value of a material can also change with temperature. Generally, at lower temperatures, the impact energy of a material is decreased. The size of the specimen may also affect the value of the Izod impact test because it may allow a different number of imperfections in the material, which can act as stress risers and lower the impact energy. IK ratings are defined as IKXX, where “XX” is a number from 00 to 10 indicating the degrees of protection provided by enclosures (including luminaires) against external mechanical impacts. The different IK ratings relate to the ability of an enclosure to resist impact energy levels measured in joules (J). EN/IEC 62262 specifies how the enclosure must be mounted for testing, the atmospheric conditions required, the quantity and distribution of the test impacts and the impact hammer to be used for each level of IK rating. Characteristic numbers of IK codes and their definitions, Each set of characteristic numbers represents a collision energy value, the correspondence between the IK code and its corresponding collision energy. In the IEC62262 protection class code, the IK code indicates the protection level of the shell against harmful mechanical collisions to the outside world, and the characteristic number combinations are: 01 to 10, i.e.: IK01, IK02, IK03, IK04, IK05, IK06, IK07, IK08, IK09 and IK10, collision energy //J a 0.14 0. 2 0.35 0.5 0. 7 1 2 5 10 20 In these 10 levels, there are two groups of tests according to different levels of test levels: the first group is spring impact hammer test from IK01, IK02 to IK06, this group test has a smaller energy (from 0.14J to 1J); The other group is the pendulum test from IK07, IK08 to IK10, which tests with larger energies (ranging from 2J to 20J).
