Meet requirements

Dust ingress testing ensures that products meet requirements for enclosure protection, service life, and operational reliability in dusty environments. By simulating real-world conditions according to relevant standards, you reduce risk, prevent failures, and ensure reliable performance throughout development and before market launch.

Method & testing

RISE offer standardized and customer-specific dust ingress testing, from components to complete systems.

Examples of tests

  • IP testing according to IEC 60529 (e.g., IP5X, IP6X)
  • Talcum powder, sand, and particulate exposure
  • Airflow and underpressure testing
  • Long‑term dust exposure
  • Functional testing before, during and after exposure

To reflect complex real‑world conditions, dust testing can be combined with vibration, temperature cycling, or humidity. This provides a more realistic verification of sealing performance.

What we test

  • Electronic and electrical components
  • Automotive parts and vehicle systems
  • Battery cells, modules, and packs
  • Sensors, control units, and enclosures
  • Mechanical and electromechanical assemblies
  • Consumer and industrial products
  • Prototypes and complete products

Our Test Facilities

Our advanced dust chambers and test environments offer:

  • Controlled particle size and concentration
  • Capability for both overpressure and underpressure testing
  • Long‑term and cyclic exposure
  • Testing during operation
  • Integration with other environmental loads (vibration, temperature, humidity)

This enables accurate, reproducible, and realistic dust ingress testing regardless of product size or development stage.
