IEC 60529 species protection ratings for enclosures.
The rst number describes the protection against solid objects, the
second number describes the level of protection against entry of
liquids. Example IP 20 is highlighted below.
IP Solids
Liquids
0 No protection No protection.
1
Protected against solid objects
greater than 50 mm (e.g.
accidental touching by hand).
Protected against vertically falling
drops of water (e.g. condensation).
2
Protected against solid objects
greater than 12 mm (e.g. ngers).
Protected against direct sprays of
water up to 15° from vertical.
3
Protected against solid objects
greater than 2.5 mm
(e.g. tools or wires)
Protected against sprays of water
up to 60° from vertical.
4
Protected against solid objects
greater than 1 mm
(e.g. tools and small wires).
Limited protection against water
sprayed from all directions (limited
ingress permitted).
5
Limited protection against dust
(some ingress but no harmful
deposit).
Limited protection against low
pressure jets of water from all direc-
tions (limited ingress permitted).
6 Complete protection against dust.
Protected against strong jets of
water (limited ingress permitted).
7
Protected against the eects of
immersion in water between 15 cm
and 100 cm.
8
