IP Rating Explained: The Mysteries of IPX3, IP65 and IP67

Modified on Tue, 15 Mar, 2022 at 9:06 PM

IP Ratings

IP rating means that ingress protection rating or international protection ratings, which are used to qualify levels of dust- and water-sealing effectiveness. The standard aims to provide users more detailed information than vague marketing terms such as waterproof.

 

In most cases, you will see two numbers after the IP characters. The first number offers a scale of 0–6 and relates to the protection levels against solids like dirt, sand, dust, and debris, while the second number (0–8) represents protection against liquids like moisture and water. The higher the number, the greater the protection against solids and liquids.

 

IPX Ratings

In certain cases, you might see an IP rating given as ‘IPX3’ or similar. Ratings that feature an ‘X’ somewhere in the code simply denote that a numerical rating has only been provided for one of the two main ingress types (solid or liquid), but not for the other. See IP rating chart for detailed understanding.

3. IP67
