| Report No. | 20260305-001 |
| Test Date | 2026-03-05 |
| Sample Quantity / No. | 2 PCS |
| Type of Test | Reliability Test |
| Test Standard | Internal Control Standard |
| Test Purpose | Evaluate whether the sample’s waterproof performance meets IPX5 waterproof rating requirements |
| Test Procedure | After spraying with water at specified water pressure from any direction for 3 minutes, immediately disassemble and inspect the interior for water ingress |
| Test Standard (Criterion) | Evaluate the sample’s protection capability against water jets |
Test Equipment & Setup
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Test Equipment | Box-type oscillating pipe high-pressure water jet integrated machine (箱式摆管强冲水一体机) |
| Room Temperature | 23 °C |
| Relative Humidity | 60 % |
| Power Source | 12 V |
| Spray Direction | Any direction (360°) |
| Spray Duration | 3 minutes continuous |
Test Procedure
- Pre-test: Place samples in the test chamber in two orientations as documented in test pictures. Verify equipment settings: power source at 12 V, room temperature 23 °C, humidity 60 %.
- Procedure: Subject each sample to a continuous water jet at specified water pressure from any direction for a duration of 3 minutes using the box-type oscillating pipe high-pressure water jet machine.
- Post-test — power-on check: Power on the lantern immediately after testing and verify that illumination functions normally with no abnormalities.
- Post-test — disassembly inspection: Disassemble the unit and visually inspect the interior barrel and body for any water ingress.
- Shake test: Hand-shake the unit and listen for water sounds inside.
- Button / contact check: Press buttons to verify no short circuits or poor contact conditions.
- Acceptance criteria: No audible water when shaken, no short circuit or contact failure on button press, no visible water stains or water droplets internally — unit must conform to IPX5 waterproof rating requirements.
Test Data & Results
| Inspection Item | Observation |
|---|---|
| Pre-test sample placement | Samples placed in two orientations inside the test chamber |
| Equipment control | Equipment control confirmed and documented (see equipment control diagram) |
| Water jet process | Continuous water jet applied from any direction for 3 minutes |
| Post-test — power-on illumination | Powered on after test; lighting function normal, no abnormalities observed |
| Disassembly inspection — interior barrel | No visible water ingress on inner side of the body barrel upon naked-eye visual inspection |
| Shake test | No water sound when unit is hand-shaken |
| Button / contact test | No short circuit or poor contact detected when buttons pressed |

Frequently Asked Questions
What does IPX5 waterproof rating mean for the CL6 camping lantern?
IPX5 means the CL6 is protected against water jets from any direction. In testing, a sustained water jet was directed at the unit from multiple angles for 3 minutes at specified pressure, after which no water ingress was detected inside the housing. This makes the CL6 suitable for use in rain or splashing water conditions, though it is not rated for submersion.
How was the CL6 waterproof test conducted?
Two CL6 samples were placed in a box-type oscillating pipe high-pressure water jet machine at room temperature (23 °C, 60 % RH) with a 12 V power source. Water was jetted at specified pressure from any direction continuously for 3 minutes. Immediately after, the units were powered on to check illumination, then disassembled for visual inspection of the interior, a shake test for water sounds, and a button-press test for electrical integrity.
Did the CL6 pass the IPX5 waterproof test?
Yes. Both CL6 samples passed. Post-test inspection confirmed no audible water when shaken, no short circuit or poor contact on button press, and no visible water stains or droplets inside the housing. The product was found to conform to IPX5 waterproof rating requirements. The result is classified as for reference only per the report documentation.
Who approved the CL6 IPX5 waterproof test report?
The test was conducted by Li Guanghua, reviewed by Zhang Ronggui, and approved by Mai Shaoqiang, all on 2026-03-05. The report number is 20260305-001 and the form number is BTK-R-Q142/AO.
