Described in IEC 60529 and ISO 20653, IP x9K is the highest rating currently available for water ingress protection. Although IP x9K testing was originally developed for automotive products, it has become widely used in the electronics, military and consumer product industries.
IPx9K uses high-pressure steam cleaning and pressure washing to evaluate how electronic components and product casings protect against fluids and foreign objects. A combination of heat, water ingress and chemical detergents are used to measure the effect of degradation on seals, connectors, wires and mounting equipment.
