The certification mark applies to aluminium transport boxes and their ability to withstand the ingress of dust (dust-tight) and water in case of temporary immersion (testing of compliance with protection class rating IP67)
The certification mark is awarded within the framework of voluntary testing and certification. Testing is based on the EN 60529 and the PPP 53319B standard. These standards govern the basic safety regulations and test criteria for aluminium transport boxes and/or enclosures. The EN 60529 defines the requirements and test methods for the respective IP code (testing of compliance with the protection class rating).
The objective is to protect the equipment inside the enclosure/transport box from the harmful impacts of dust and water. In addition, the basic requirements set forth in DGUV (German Social Accident Insurance standard) 108-007 for the design and exterior safety of the boxes (pointed or sharp edges, points involving crushing and shearing hazards), stability, safety against falling out or down (stackability) and safety against breaking.
Periodic surveillance of the manufacture of a product constitutes the basic premise for certification which includes the award of a certification mark. Certification always requires product testing and regular factory inspections.
As a third-party expert organisation, TÜV SÜD verifies that the manufacturer is able to maintain consistent quality in line with the requirements throughout high-volume production and has established the necessary quality system, including incoming goods inspections, lists of materials and final product check.
In addition, calibration of the necessary measuring and monitoring equipment must be ensured. Surveillance and/or monitoring covers the testing of safety-critical components and other materials used. If unauthorised changes are made to the product, the certificate will be withdrawn and the TÜV SÜD certification mark may no longer be used.
