IP Protection Rating Reference

All valid IP (Ingress Protection) codes under IEC 60529. The first digit indicates protection against solid objects (0-6), the second digit indicates protection against water (0-9). Click any code for test details and common products.

How to read an IP code

An IP code always starts with the letters "IP" followed by two digits. The first digit (0-6) rates protection against solid foreign objects, from no protection (0) to completely dust-tight (6). The second digit (0-9) rates protection against water ingress, from no protection (0) to high-pressure steam cleaning (9).

Higher numbers mean better protection. IP65 means dust-tight with protection against water jets. IP68 means dust-tight with protection against continuous immersion. The standard is defined in IEC 60529.
