1. What Does IK10 Protection Mean for Outdoor LCD Screens?
The IK (Impact Protection) rating measures how well an enclosure resists external mechanical impacts. Defined by the international standard IEC 62262 (EN 62262), this rating ranges from IK00 to IK10, with higher numbers indicating stronger protection.
IK10 Standard:
Can withstand an impact of 20 joules, equivalent to a 5 kg object dropped from 40 cm.
IK10 is the highest protection rating for devices like outdoor digital signage and advertising displays.
2. Why Do Outdoor Digital Displays Need IK10 Protection?
Outdoor digital signage is constantly exposed to potential risks, such as:
Vandalism: Deliberate strikes, thrown objects, or acts of mischief.
Accidental Impact: Collisions with pedestrians, bicycles, or sporting equipment.
Environmental Hazards: Hailstorms, flying debris, or strong winds.
An outdoor LCD screen with IK10-certified glass offers the following benefits:
