What is Ingress Protection (IP)

The IP Code, or Ingress Protection Code is defined in IEC standard 60529 which classifies and rates the degree of protection provided by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures against intrusion, dust, accidental contact, and water. The standard aims to provide users more detailed information than vague marketing terms such as waterproof.

What do the two digits in an IP Rating mean?

The rating consists of the letters IP followed by two digits, the higher the number the better the protection.  Sometimes a number is replaced by X, which indicates that the enclosure is not rated for that specification.
IP65   =  First Digit – Solids (The first digit indicates the level of protection that the enclosure provides against the ingress of solid foreign objects,
IP65   =  Second Digit – Liquids (The second digit defines the protection of the equipment against various forms of moisture (drips, sprays, submersion etc).

Solid Object Protection

0 – No protection assured
1 – Protection assured against solid objects that are over 50mm (e.g. hands).
2 – Protection assured against solid objects that are over 12.5mm
3 – Protection assured against solid objects that are over 2.5mm
4 – Protection assured against solid objects that are over 1mm
5 – Protected against quantity of dust that could interfere with the normal operation of the product but not fully dust tight. Complete protection against solid objects.
6 – Fully dust tight and complete protection against solid objects.

Liquids Ingress Protection

0 – No protection assured.
1 – Protection assured against vertical drops of water.
2 – Protection assured against vertical drops of water when the product is tilted up to 15° from its normal position.
3 – Protection assured against direct sprays of water at any angle up to 60°.
4 – Protection assured against water splashing from any angle.
5 – Protection assured against water jets projected by a nozzle (6.3mm) from any angle.
6 – Protection assured against powerful water jets projected by a nozzle (12.5mm) from any angle.
7 – Protection assured against water immersion at a depth between 15 cm and 1 meter for maximum 30 minutes.
8 – Protection assured against long periods of water immersion at a depth of over 1 meter.
