IPX6 Washable DURA™
Description of washing test
LINAK washable products frequently go through a fully controlled washing test. The LINAK term “IPX6
Washable DURA” signifies that the products conform exclusively to this test.
The “IPX6 Washable DURA” washing test is used to ensure that products that are rated “IPX6 Washable
DURA” comply with the agreed terms and conditions. This washing test differs from the norm EN60601-2-
52 as the products are not aged and each washing cycle is followed by a 30 minute cooling process.
Further information regarding the washing process can be found in the German document “Maschinelle
Dekontamination” from the organisation AK-BWA .
Estimated time
consumption:
Approximately 1 month.
Amount of
samples:
During the development process, the number of tested samples is in accordance with
GP082. During running production, the number of tested samples complies with
UM-41-22-001.
General: The process applies to the IPX6 Washable DURA system.
Test conditions: • The units are not aged.
• Products with adhesive foils must be hardened before ageing.
• The hardening time depends on the used adhesive, but is typically 3 days at 20°C.
• The units are washed with new plugs/cables.
• The cables should be as long as possible and free ends should be shut off.
• Detergent and rinsing aids used:
- Detergent 1: Ecolab Sekumatic FRE
- Rinsing aid 1: Ecolab Sekumatic FKN (Neutral Rinse Aid).
Test procedure: • The units are placed in the washing machine in the intended mounting direction
(in the most sensible direction regarding water penetration, if this is not the same
direction).
• The washing process (see picture below) is repeated 11 times and consists of:
- Washing with 0.3 % alkaline detergent for 2 minutes in 70 °C hot water.
(Note: the temperature is measured in the tank, not necessarily at the unit).
- Rinsing with neutral rinsing aid for 20 seconds.
- Drying and cooling for 30 minutes in the open air at approx. 20 °C.
• After 11 cycles, the products are left in a ventilated room for 24 hours. The above
steps are repeated until a total of 250 cycles has been reached.
• Immediately after washing and after further 24 hours, the products are subjected to a
high voltage test in accordance with UM-31-30-072.
• A population sample of the products is opened for water penetration control
immediately after the washing test.
Accept criteria are in accordance with UM-20-30-002.
Options: The following options can be used for the test:
• The units may be weighed prior to and after the washing test to detect water.
• The bubble test may be used to detect any leakages.
• X-ray may be used to detect any leakages.
