Why impact testing

Reliable and cost-effective products

The impact test has enormous scientific significance and practical relevance. A collision between two objects or objects can often cause damage to one or both. The damage can be a scratch, crack, breakage or breakage. Therefore, developers need to know how materials and products behave under the influence and what the forces are that they can resist.

What is the goal of an impact test?

Vulnerability analysis

The aim of the impact test is to analyze the weak points of the test object. The data then provides important information to improve the product and make it more impact-resistant, robust and safer.

The increased durability and safety of the product contribute significantly to greater brand trust.

Hammer test

Standard EN/IEC 60068 consists of 3 methods for testing the impact resistance of a test object against impacts with different severity levels. It serves to demonstrate the mechanical strength of a product and is intended primarily for the testing of electrical equipment.

BS EN IEC 62262 - What is IK standard EN/IEC 62262? a black and white background
Shock resistance IK protection rating

Standard EN 62262 outlines how well electrical equipment can withstand external mechanical impacts. It measures the resistance or impact strength of the equipment when subjected to specific shocks. This standard helps ensure that the equipment remains functional and safe under various conditions. By adhering to EN 62262, manufacturers can guarantee the durability and reliability of their products, making it easier for consumers to trust and choose equipment that meets high safety and performance standards.
