Look no further!!! We have answered these questions for you! Because we're nice like that! The first question we get asked a lot is a simple on. What is an IP Rating? An IP rating or also known as the Ingress Protection rating, is a system made by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to help explain and simplify the levels of protection for electrical enclosures against the elements around us from the elements outside (such as water and dust).
The First Digit!
Depending on how the number increases or decreases, the first digit of the rating tells you how it will be protected from physical objects such as screw drivers or rocks.
The maximum value is 6, which means that there's no ingress of dust.
The Second Digit!
The second number tells you the level of water resistance the electrical appliance has. This varies from water condensation, drip, water jets and total immersion.
The maximum value is 9, which means that its protected against close range, powerful and high temperature water jets.
