IP Code

The document defines the IP code system for classifying degrees of protection provided by enclosures against solid objects, dust, and water. An IP code consists of two numerals: the first defines protection against solid objects and dust, ranging from 0 (no protection) to 6 (dust tight). The second defines water protection, ranging from 0 (no protection) to 8 (protection against continuous water immersion). Higher numerals indicate greater levels of protection.
