Video shows the tests endured by Spelsberg enclosures

Spelsberg has revealed some of the capabilities of its in-house testing facility in Germany on its Youtube channel. Viewers can see how Spelsberg’s laboratory is equipped to conduct a variety of mechanical, thermal and physico-chemical tests on its enclosure, junction boxes and associated components for electrical installations.

The German facility is certified to VDE and UL standards to conduct relevant tests and issue certifications on behalf of the two organisations. More precisely, the laboratory can perform tests in accordance with DIN EN and UL/CUL standards to evaluate ingress protection (IP) ratings against water and dust; impact resistance (IK) and external mechanical stresses; as well as assess the enclosures’ resistance against flames, UV and electrical shocks. In addition, other specialist investigations can be carried out when required.
