Our NATA-accredited Electrical Safety team provides testing of a wide range of products, including household appliances, electric cables, IT equipment, luminaires, and power tools. Testing is performed as per Australian and international standards, allowing us to give manufacturers and consumers’, alike, confidence that their products are safe and compliant.
Our industry-leading IP testing is conducted as per AS and IEC 60529. We offer ratings up to IP68 for a broad range of products such as electrical enclosures, appliances, switchboards, and light fittings.
We assess the safety and performance of Defence equipment in accordance with AS/NZS 3820:2020, Essential Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment.

Today, we join our engineering colleagues in celebrating World Engineering Day (WED) 2026! Engineers change landscapes and cities and often go unrecognised for their contribution to society. WED highlights the fundamental role engineers have in developing the modern world.
At Vipac, we are proud of our engineers specialising in space, Defence, tall building technology, and many other disciplines. We support them as they take on diverse testing & evaluation projects and push the boundaries into the future.

We were pleased to assist RMIT by performing vibration testing on the ALEPH-1 payload – a project led by Lunaria One that will launch later this year, developing and testing a controlled environment to support plant life on the Moon. Another step by us into the space industry, we tested the payload’s resilience to its future journey to the Moon.

We've expanded our IP testing capabilities with the commissioning of a new IP5X/IP6X dust chamber. The chamber has a capacity of 28,000 litres (28m³) with internal dimensions of 3.5m (L) × 2.3m (W) × 3.5m (H). It subjects electrical enclosures, equipment, and switchboards to extreme dust or sand conditions, thoroughly challenging their sealing performance — ideal for qualification testing in accordance with AS/IEC 60529.
This dust chamber is also capable of performing the Turbulent Dust Test in accordance with Defence standard DEF STAN 00-35, Part 3, Test CL25, Section 2.3.

A director and one of our leading experts on vibration, Dr Darren van Twest recently conducted a lecture at the University of Queensland. This is the 18th year Vipac has collaborated with the university, bringing real-world vibration case studies to these third-year Mechanical Engineering students. The class was Engineering Dynamics, and we thank Professor Paul Meehan for inviting us to host.
