IP\u00a0is\u00a0the abbreviation\u00a0of\u00a0ingress protection. It is an international marking system used by\u00a0manufacturers to indicate that the product shell and the inside of the shell are protected. The source is the standard\u00a0IEC60529 of the\u00a0International Electrotechnical Commission.\u00a0Different regions may have different protection standards: British Standard\u00a0BS EN 60529:1992,\u00a0European Standard\u00a060509:1989\u00a0and internationally, they meet\u00a0EN 60529\u00a0certification.<\/p>\n

Common and familiar smart devices or machinery have a protection standard, and the protection standards are different for liquids and solids.<\/p>\n

The common standard of protection is usually in the form of IP plus two numbers, such as:\u00a0IP45.\u00a0The meanings of these two numbers are different.\u00a0Generally speaking, the first number refers to the solid protection level,\u00a0the second digit indicates the level of protection that the enclosure provides against harmful of water.<\/p>\n

Businesses usually describe how their products are dustproof or waterproof.\u00a0But how to let consumers know, you need the\u00a0help of\u00a0IP\u00a0rating.<\/p>\n

IP\u00a0rating is very important for manufacturers.\u00a0To obtain the\u00a0IP\u00a0rating of the\u00a0product, a formal and professional company certification is required.\u00a0After the test, the certification company will provide a digital\u00a0IP\u00a0rating\u00a0for the product based on the test result.\u00a0This can provide consumers with a reference basis for product selection.<\/p>\n

\"dust\"<\/figure>\n

The first number after IP represents different solid protection requirements. The solid protection is mainly to prevent the intrusion of external particles.<\/p>\n

The number 0 is no protection against solids.\u00a0Expose the solid product directly to the air without any protective treatment.<\/p>\n

1\u00a0is\u00a0to\u00a0block particles\u00a0larger than\u00a050 mm\u00a0in\u00a0diameter.\u00a0Under this protection,\u00a0it\u00a0can effectively prevent large-area contact of the human body, but for small areas of tissue, such as palms and backs of hands, it cannot provide protection.<\/p>\n

2 is to protect\u00a0objects with a\u00a0diameter greater than\u00a012.5 mm.\u00a0This\u00a0can effectively organize any part of the human body.<\/p>\n

3\u00a0means\u00a0to\u00a0block dust particles above\u00a02.5 mm\u00a0in diameter.\u00a0This number indicates that an object the size of a screwdriver can be prevented from entering.<\/p>\n

The protection of the number 4 can block up to 1 mm of dust particles.\u00a0Most wires, slender screws, and even some larger ants can be blocked from the outside.<\/p>\n

5 and 6 indicate that protection\u00a0can achieve the effect of dust prevention. The protection effect of 6 is better, which can completely cut off dust. Meanwhile, the protection effect of 6 will apply vacuum to achieve complete protection.\u00a0The 5\u2019s protection may not be as complete a barrier as the 6\u2019s. But the solid protection represented by the number 5 can also keep out most of the dust in the air. Perhaps the rest of the dust may enter the shield through the gap that people can not notice, but such errors and omissions will not have any effect on the product itself.<\/p>\n

Water and excessive humidity are deadly enemies of the normal operation of electronic equipment and machinery.\u00a0Rainy weather and normal running water cleaning will affect the internal components of the device, and short-circuit failures may occur.<\/p>\n

\"waterproof\"<\/figure>\n

The second number after IP represents different liquid protection requirements. Liquid protection is to block the entry of liquid to prevent the phenomenon of deterioration due to moisture.<\/p>\n

0 indicates that no precautions have been taken.<\/p>\n

1\u00a0is to\u00a0prevent dripping.\u00a0The precautionary standard is that when the product is installed vertically on the turntable and\u00a0rotated at\u00a01RPM, the water droplets that drip vertically will not affect the product.<\/p>\n

2 indicates that the drops fall at an Angle of 15 degrees with the product, but it will not affect the use of the product.<\/p>\n

3: Spray protection.\u00a0Set the sprayed water column and the machine at an\u00a0angle of\u00a060\u00a0degrees, and observe the use of the product at this time.<\/p>\n

4\u00a0is splashing.\u00a0This number requires the liquid to be splashed on the product at any angle without affecting its use.<\/p>\n

5 is able to withstand low pressure water column test.\u00a0When the liquid\u00a0is sprayed on the equipment shell from any angle\u00a0through\u00a0the water column from the\u00a06.3 mm\u00a0nozzle, it will not produce negative effects.<\/p>\n

6 is able to withstand high-pressure water column tests.\u00a0The pressurized water jet ejected\u00a0from the\u00a012.5 mm\u00a0powerful nozzle can be sprayed onto the equipment from any angle without affecting the use of the equipment.<\/p>\n

The number 7 indicates immersion to a depth of about 1 m.\u00a0When the enclosure is immersed in\u00a0a liquid with a depth of\u00a01 m\u00a0under the specified pressure and time conditions, this number represents protection from harmful amounts of liquid entering the equipment.<\/p>\n

8 indicates immersion of 1m or more.\u00a0The number 8 means the device should be able to immerse for at least 1\u00a0hour.<\/p>\n

9K\u00a0is a high temperature and high pressure water column test.\u00a0The\u00a0equipment can withstand close-range high temperature and high pressure water column impact under the conditions specified by the manufacturer within\u00a02\u00a0minutes of the\u00a0test time.<\/p>\n

There are also additional attainable ratings for specific protection:
DWire
FOil resistant
HHigh voltage
MMoving during water test
SStanding still during water test
WWeather resistant<\/p>\n

Most electronic products such as smart phones and earphones have a protection level.<\/p>\n

Take the smart devices we are familiar with, most smart devices can achieve\u00a0IP68\u00a0protection level.\u00a0This means that the electronic products under this protection level can be absolutely dustproof and excellent waterproof, and can be immersed in liquid for at least\u00a01\u00a0hour.<\/p>\n

\"Camera_Waterproof_Case\"<\/figure>\n

The protection level of electrical sockets is generally\u00a0IP54.\u00a0Protection at this level can effectively prevent\u00a0accidental entry of wires with a\u00a0diameter greater than\u00a01 mm.<\/p>\n

In the medical field, improving the\u00a0IP\u00a0protection level is also an important matter.\u00a0The cleaning of medical equipment requires that the equipment can withstand the sterilization process without affecting the next use of the equipment.\u00a0Such protection requirements require the equipment to meet the protection requirements of\u00a0IP54,\u00a0IP65\u00a0or higher.<\/p>\n

However, it is worth noting that any equipment that is said to have a waterproof effect is actually not 100% resistant to water penetration.\u00a0Waterproof refers to the protection of the surface of the article so that it is not easily penetrated by water.\u00a0Therefore, even if the level of liquid protection is higher, attention should be paid to reducing contact with liquids.<\/p>\n
