    First it is the tester who they should be approaching

    ALL WE HAVE IS THIS CONSUMER GROUP 'ASS URANCE" that it conducted their test
    Approaching Samsung direct is deliberately misleading

    It is imo that the IEC would want proof ie video and the IEC could provide proof that it dud

    Who are they? Reverse it would you put your phone in water for 30 minutes on there say-so

        But sony still can't do that. Plastic frame, plastic cam, plastic back cover, sony is really really love plastics.
        Lol. You sony fans must donate your money to sony, so they can produce full metal phones. I know sony is currently in financial problem, that's why they still use cheap plastics as flagship`s material.

                  Timofte, 09 Jul 2016A washing test and a glass of water test? Are you serious? ... moreAre you serious? Do you understand what it means the IP 68 Rating. What do you think about the IP68 rating? This is a rating system set forth by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to inform consumers of how well protected an electronic device is against foreign bodies. Go to school.

                  Galaxy S7 Active is water resistant. And Tested (5 feet deep for 30 minutes) and Certified by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Who are you going to believe? International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) or Consumer Reports (fraud lab). Who fucking cares (Consumer Reports, DxOMark, or iFixit - American biased)?

                      And nobody would hate this device even though it clearly has an issue about water resistance because it is a Samsung device. Nobody would just admit that it just didn't pass the test and like anyone would forget about it. that is very bias for me and
