    The IP rating system outlined in EN 60529 provides a standardized classification for electrical equipment protection against solid objects, dust, and moisture. An IP rating includes two digits, where the first indicates protection against solid objects and parts of the body, and the second indicates protection against moisture. Higher numbers indicate greater levels of protection. For example, an IP54 rating protects against solid objects over 1mm and splashing water. Symbols are also used to represent different IP levels graphically on equipment.

    Your Guide to IP Ratings

    EN 60529 outlines an international classification system for the sealing effectiveness of enclosures of electrical equipment against the intrusion into the equipment of foreign bodies (i.e. tools, dust, fingers) and moisture. This classification system utilises the letters "IP" ("Ingress Protection") followed by two or three digits. (A third digit is sometimes used. An "x" is used for one of the digits if there is only one class of protection; i.e. IPX4 which addresses moisture resistance only.) Degrees of Protection - First Digit The first digit of the IP code indicates the degree that persons are protected against contact with moving parts (other than smooth rotating shafts, etc.) and the degree that equipment is protected against solid foreign bodies intruding into an enclosure. 0 1 No special protection. Protection from a large part of the body such as a hand (but no protection from deliberate access); from solid objects greater than 50mm in diameter. Protection against fingers or other object not greater than 80mm in length and 12mm in diameter. Protection from entry by tools, wires, etc., with a diameter or thickness greater than 2.5mm. Protection from entry by solid objects with a diameter or thickness greater than 1.0mm. Protection from the amount of dust that would interfere with the operation of the equipment. Dust tight.

    Degrees of Protection - Second Digit The second digit indicates the degree of protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against the harmful entry of various forms of moisture (e.g. dripping, spraying, submersion, etc.) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 No special protection. Protection from dripping water. Protection from vertically dripping water. Protection from sprayed water. Protection from splashed water. Protection from water projected from a nozzle. Protection against heavy seas, or powerful jets of water. Protection against immersion. Protection against complete, continuous submersion in water. Submersion depth and time must be specified by the enduser. The requirement must be more onerous than IP67.

    The IP Code Symbols The chart at the right illustrates the use of special symbols in the IP classification system. In the "1st digit" column, note the grid-like symbols next to numbers 5 and 6. In the "2nd digit" column numbers 3-8 are symbolised 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.

    Note: EN 60529 does not specify sealing effectiveness against the following: mechanical damage of the equipment; the risk of explosions; certain types of moisture conditions, e.g. those that are produced by condensation; corrosive vapours; fungus; vermin.
