IP + Second Digit ‐ Liquids
Level 0 = No protection provided.
Level 1 = Dripping water, falling vertically will have no harmful effect. This level meansit must pass a test
duration of 10 minutes, with water dripping equivalent to 1mm rainfall per minute.
Level 2 = Dripping water, while tilted up to 15 degrees will have no harmful effects. This level meansit must pass
a test duration of 10 minutes, with water dripping equivalent to 3mm rainfall per minute.
Level 3 = Spraying water at an angle of up to 60 degrees from vertical will have no harmful effects. This level
means it must pass a test duration of 5 minutes, with a water volume of 0.7 liters per minute, with pressure of
80‐100 KN/m2
Level 4 = Water that is splashed against the enclosure from any direction will have no harmful effects. This level
means it must pass a test duration of 5 minutes, with a water volume of 10 liters per minute, and a pressure of
80‐100 KN/m2
Level 5 = Water jets by a 6.3mm nozzle aimed at an enclosure from any direction will have no harmful effects.
This level means it must pass a test duration for a minimum of 3 minutes, with a water volume of 12.5 liters per
minute, and a pressure of 80‐100KN/m
2
Level 6 = Powerful water jets from a 12.5mm nozzle, aimed at an enclosure from any direction, will have no
harmful effects. This level means it must pass a test duration of 3 minutes minimum, with a water volume of 100
liters per minute, with a pressure of 100KN/m2
, at a distance of 3 meters.
Level 7 = Can be immersed in water for 30 minutes, at a depth of 1 meter, and will have no harmful effects.
Level 8 = Continuousimmersion in water under conditionsspecified by the manufacturer. Typically, the
equipment is hermetically sealed.
Additional Letters ‐ Appended to classify the level of protection of humans against access to hazardous
parts. (Not always present in the codes, but if stated, the user must use extreme caution with this equipment).
A =Protected against access to hazardous parts with back of hand
B = Protected against hazardous parts with fingers
C = Protected against toolsinterfering with hazardous parts
D = Protection against wire from entering hazardous parts
Further letters can be appended to provide additional information related to the protection of the device and
humans:
H = High‐voltage device
M = Device moving during water test
S = Device remaining still during water test
W = Weather conditions
