]]> The IP denomination refers to the International Standard IEC 60529 Degrees of Ingress Protection which establishes how protection rating is classified by enclosures against ingress of solids and liquids.

A two digit coding system is used:

IP-[X][X]

  • First digit: This defines the level of protection against the ingress of solids. This number ranges from 0 to 6, whereby 0 offers no protection at all and 6 is the maximum protection.
  • Second digit: This defines the level of protection against the ingress of liquids. This digit ranges from 0 to 8, where 0 offers no protection at all and 8 is sealed.

This system is internationally recognised and many products feature it on their marking.

Test methods

The test method is defined by the protection rating of the enclosure or product:

]]> The IK rating is a code that indicates the mechanical protection to hidden impacts that could damage the integrity of the enclosure of a certain product. A standardised comparison between different electrical elements, materials and encapsulated items can be established.

A code ranging from 0 to 10 is established according to the level of mechanical protection, from minimum to maximum defined impact energy.

Test methods

The test basically consists of simulating impacts with a cylindrical hammer on the tested enclosure. The test methodology is defined by the code and establishes a set of parameters such as:

  • Weight of the hammer
  • Height of impact
