What is IK10 impact resistance

Impact resistant according to EN62262

Impact resistance IK10 is defined in the EN62262 standard, which outlines 12 strength classes, from IK00 (the lowest) to IK11 (the highest).

IK10 represents a shock resistance of 20 joules, equivalent to a 5.0 kg object falling from 0.4 meters. We not only meet IK10 but also achieve the extreme IK11 impact resistance.

This higher resistance is typically obtained through laminated glass construction, even at a total thickness of just 5.8 mm. This means our products offer exceptional durability and protection, ensuring they can withstand significant impacts without compromising performance or safety.

Our commitment to quality ensures reliable and robust solutions for various demanding applications.

What is IK standard EN/IEC 62262?

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.
