Electrical Enclosures
Electrical Enclosures
(OP)
Electrical enclosures are tested for flameproof and IP testing and aslo pressure testing per Baseefa which excludes from having any furthur periodic pressure testing. But EN13980 of european standards suggests periodic hydrotesting of enclosures. Can anyone suggest if proper pressure testing is already been taken care of then it does exclude the hydrotesting or not.
Also if the enclosures are hydrotested per UL/CENELAC does the enclosures still need to go for any hydrotesting per EN13980.
I appreciate any help or suggestions regarding this.

RE: Electrical Enclosures
BASEEFA or whichever Notified Body you are using can also tell you in more detail (since I can't see your file) exactly in which cases you will need to re-test and re-certify. Usually it boils down to changes to the device (including changes to the ratings/info/data/controlled docs on the ATEX cert/schedule) and changes to the Directive or relevant standards over time.
