IP ingress protection ratings details Focus on our R&D laboratory : GETELEC LAB

Innovation at the heart of our development

The IP rating defines the level of protection associated with the ingress of solid foreign objects and the ingress of
water.
IP 45

LATEST GENERATION EQUIPMENT
1st digit : Protection against dust 2nd digit : Protection against water intrusion
Our laboratory is equipped with around twenty latest generation devices including a Scanning Electron
Microscope (SEM-EDS) which allows non-destructive inspection of the structure and chemical composition
of materials. In particular, EDS allows for qualitative and quantitative elementary analysis: all elements are
detectable (except H and He, Li and Be) with an average detection threshold of 0.5 atomic%. The SEM allows
for topographical images of samples to be produced to obtain information on the physical structure of the
1 digit (tens) 2 digit (unit) sample analyzed. This coupling of the two measurements has allowed us to develop numerous product
