  • IP (Ingress Protection) Rating
    Ingress Protection (IP) ratings are developed by the European Committee for Electro Technical Standardization (CENELEC) (NEMA IEC 60529 Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures - IP Code), specifying the environmental protection the enclosure provides.
  • Guide to IP (Ingress Protection) Codes for Vehicle Electrical Components
    The IP Code, IEC standard 60529, sometimes interpreted as Ingress Protection Marking, classifies and rates the degree of protection provided against intrusion, dust, accidental contact, and water by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures.
  • WHY AN IP RATING MATTERS TO ENGINEERS
    mechanical casings and electrical enclosures protect a device against intrusion from foreign objects. Such objects could be, for example, tools, dirt, water, and accidental human contact. IP ratings are defined in the international standard EN 60529 (British BS EN 60529:1992, European IEC 60509:1989).
