No protection against contact and ingress of objectsĪny large surface of the body, such as the back of a hand, but no protection against deliberate contact with a body part X means there is no data available to specify a protection rating with regard to this criterion. The first digit indicates the level of protection that the enclosure provides against access to hazardous parts (e.g., electrical conductors, moving parts) and the ingress of solid foreign objects. Third digit: Mechanical impact resistanceįirst digit: Solid particle protection įirst characteristic numeral: Solid particle protection IPX-8 (for example) is thus an invalid IP code.

There are no hyphens in a standard IP code. The device can become less capable, however it cannot become unsafe. The digit is replaced with the letter X when insufficient data has been gathered to assign a protection level. The digit 0 is used where no protection is provided. The digits indicate conformity with the conditions summarized in the tables below. IP22 or IP2X are typical minimum requirements for the design of electrical accessories for indoor use.

Similarly, an electrical socket rated IP22 is protected against insertion of fingers and will not become unsafe during a specified test in which it is exposed to vertically or nearly vertically dripping water. For example, a cellular phone rated at IP67 is 'dust resistant' and can be 'immersed in 1 meters of freshwater for up to 30 minutes'. The standard aims to provide users more detailed information than vague marketing terms such as waterproof. It is published in the European Union by CENELEC as EN 60529.

IP Code or Ingress Protection Code is defined in IEC 60529 which classifies and provides a guideline to the degree of protection provided by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures against intrusion, dust, accidental contact, and water.
