We have a product that consists of an aluminium single-sided PCB with micro-controller and LEDs soldered to the copper side. The PCBA is shaped so that it can be bent to fit over the scalp of the user with copper side on the inside.
The 12VDC is supplied by a medically approved 2xMOPP double isolated external "brick", with the negative rail (0V) internally earthed through the earth pin of the plug.
The testing company tells us that it is rated Class IIB and must be IP22 rated. However, it is intended as a home use device, indoors only.
My question is - to pass the dripping water test of IP22, is it enough to have conformal coating or circuit waterproofing lacquer protecting the electronics?
None of the SMD pads can be touched, since the LEDs are 3535 types with hidden pads and the rest of the circuit is covered by a foam pad.
