IP (Ingress Protection) Code Symbols: 1st Digit Protection From Solid Objects 2nd Digit Protection From Moisture

The document illustrates the IP classification system used to indicate levels of protection from solid objects and moisture. The first digit refers to protection from solid objects with symbols representing levels 5 and 6, while the second digit refers to moisture protection with teardrop symbols representing levels 3 through 8. These IP codes and symbols can be placed on equipment to show the degree of protection it provides.

Code Symbols

The chart below illustrates the use of special symbols in the IP classification system. In the "1st digit" columns, note the grid-like symbols
next to numbers 5 and 6. In the "2nd digit" columns numbers 3–8 are symbolized by teardrop shaped symbols, sometimes enclosed in a
box or a triangle, sometimes unenclosed (7–8). These symbols can be placed on equipment to illustrate the IP protection provided.
