To validate the ruggedness of the T20, Telpo dedicated significant attention to its protection level throughout the research and development process, which includes a series of certification rating tests.

● Telpo Qualification

1. CNAS laboratory

Telpo obtained a CNAS-certified lab, which can prove the test results from Telpo lab are credible and authoritative. In its own CNAS laboratory, Telpo can test and evaluate various products to ensure that they meet the relevant standards and regulations at home and abroad, provide product certification services for enterprises, and increase the market competitiveness of products. The certification tests of Telpo T20 were done in Telpo’s CNAS laboratory.

2. Certification to ISO standard

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is an independent NGO that is responsible for developing and publishing standards to ensure best practices and quality, and ISO standards are globally recognized. Telpo has obtained ISO9001:2000 (Quality Management System) to demonstrate its commitment to quality. The certification to ISO standard lets customers rest assured of Telpo product quality.

3. Regulatory compliance

To ensure regulatory compliance in different regions, Telpo has obtained certifications like FCC and CE. To obtain these certifications, Telpo follows prescribed conformity assessment procedures and standards to meet the essential requirements of different countries and regions.

Rigorous quality testing of Telpo validator T20

1. IK08 impact resistance for ticket validator T20

The IK Rating is an international standard that measures the degree of protection provided by an enclosure against mechanical impacts and IK08 indicates that the Telpo T20 has a high impact-resistance level.

Test mode:

The test is to evaluate the product’s ability to withstand impacts without suffering any functional or structural damage that would compromise its intended use or safety. The specific approach is to drop a hammer of a specified weight and height onto the product's enclosure from different angles and positions.

Test result: Telpo validator T20 can withstand a 1.7kg hammer falling from a height of 30cm without damage, which shows that it has a superior impact-resistance performance.


2. IP65 dust-proof and waterproof for ticket validator T20

The IP rating is used to describe the level of protection provided by an enclosure against the intrusion of solid objects and liquids. In terms of IP65, the first digit, "6," indicates the dust-tight protection level and the second digit, "5," represents the level of protection against water. Being rated at IP65 means signifies that the enclosure makes no harmful dust enter and can be protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction.

Test mode:

The IP rating test involves 2 parts, respectively dust test and water test. The specific approach to conducting the dust test is to blow dust particles onto the enclosure for a specific duration, ensuring that no ingress occurs that would interfere with its operation. The specific approach of the water test is to spray powerful water jets on the enclosure from various angles, verifying that the enclosure will not be damaged or experience water penetration.

Test result: The Telpo T20 can achieve the 6-grade dustproof and 5-grade water-proof


3. Vibration test for ticket validator T20

The vibration test is to assess the integrity, durability, and performance of a product or component when subjected to vibration forces. Telpo T20 passes China’s National Standard Vehicle Vibration Test and has an outstanding vibration-resistance performance.

Test mode:

The product is securely mounted to a vibration table or fixture and the mounting method should simulate the normal use or installation of the product. Then the shaker table generates vibrations with varying frequencies and amplitudes, simulating different operating conditions.

Test result: The Telpo T20 can suffer 8 hours of vibration in X, Y, and Z directions respectively. After the vibration test, the shell has no cracking and fracture, and internal components have no loosening phenomenon and no collision traces.


Why a rugged ticket validator is needed?

Ticket validators face lots of challenges in specific application scenarios, such as bumpy roads, traffic accidents, bad weather, etc.

1. Complex traffic conditions

The conditions of mobile vehicles are much more complex than normal application scenarios. Public transport vehicles usually travel on uneven roads and are greatly affected by bumps and tremors. Besides, the validator is likely to be subjected to severe shock and vibration caused by traffic accidents. If the device is not rugged enough, the electronic components and data inside may be damaged. Therefore, the validator used for mobile vehicles needs to have a high-strength housing and seismic design.

2. Outdoor conditions

Some outdoor scenarios require ticket validation and the validators can be applied outdoors. The outdoor environment is much stricter and more complex than the indoor environment. For example, in a heavy rain or cold environment, equipment may be affected by humidity and extreme temperatures, resulting in reduced performance or even failure to function properly. That’s why a qualified ticket validator should be water-proof and dustproof and can adapt to various adverse weather conditions to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the equipment.


The Telpo T20 has a rugged design and can cope with a variety of challenges in mobile environments and outdoor environments. The ruggedness of the Telpo validator has been approved by the practice and won wide recognition from customers.

1. T20 worldwide. The Telpo validator T20 has been sold to 4 main regions all over the world, covering Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The Telpo T20 is widely praised and empowers creating a colorful future worldwide.

2. T20 everywhere. The Telpo T20 has multiple scenario applications. In addition to serving as a bus validator and being applied in metro stations and railway stations as an automatic fare collection machine, it is used outdoors to deliver a fast entry experience to customers in amusement parks, ski resorts, etc.
