IP protection level detailed IP protection level

IP is the abbreviation of Ingress Protection. The IP rating is the protection level against the intrusion of foreign objects into the electrical equipment casing. For example, explosion-proof electrical appliances, waterproof and dustproof electrical appliances, the source is the International Electrotechnical Commission standard IEC 60529, which was also adopted in 2004. American National Standard.

In this standard, for the protection of foreign objects in electrical equipment enclosures, the IP rating format is IPXX, where XX is two Arabic numerals, the first marked number indicates contact protection and foreign object protection rating, and the second marked number indicates waterproof protection rating. For specific protection levels, please refer to the table below.

IP is the code used by international to determine the degree of protection. The IP rating consists of two numbers. The first number indicates dust protection. The second number indicates waterproof. The higher the number, the better the team length.

Dust level

Number protection degree definition

0 No protection No special protection

1 Prevent the intrusion of objects larger than 50mm to prevent the human body from accidentally touching the internal parts of the lamp. Prevent the intrusion of objects larger than 50mm in diameter.

2 Prevent intrusion of objects larger than 12mm. Prevent fingers from touching the internal parts of the lamp.

3 Prevent the intrusion of objects larger than 2.5mm. Prevent the intrusion of tools, wires or objects larger than 2.5mm in diameter.

4 Prevent the intrusion of objects larger than 1.0mm to prevent the invasion of mosquitoes, insects or objects with a diameter greater than 1.0

5 Dustproof Do not completely prevent dust from entering, but the amount of intrusion will not affect the normal operation of the lamp.

6 Dustproof, completely prevent dust from intruding

waterproof level

Number protection degree definition

0 No protection No special protection



1 Prevent dripping water from dripping

2 Prevents dripping water when tilted at 15 degrees. When the lamp is tilted 15 degrees, it still prevents dripping.

3 Prevent the intrusion of sprayed water. Prevent rainwater or water sprayed perpendicularly into the direction of less than 50 degrees.

4 Prevent splashing water from invading Prevent water intrusion from splashing in all directions

5 Prevent water intrusion from large waves Prevent water intrusion from large waves or jets

6 Preventing intrusion of large waves of water. Intrusion of lamps into the water can ensure the normal operation of the lamps under certain conditions or water pressure.

7 Intrusion of water to prevent intrusion The indefinite sinking water of the lamp is under certain water pressure conditions and ensures the normal operation of the lamp.

8 Prevent the effects of sinking
