NEWSTAR LED CO., LIMIED A two-digit number established by the International Electro Technical Commission, is used to provide an Ingress Protection rating to a piece of electronic equipment or to an enclosure for electronic equipment. The protection class after EN60529 are indicated by short symbols that consist of the two code letters IP and a code numeral for the amount of the protection. Example: IP65 The two digits represent different forms of environmental influence: • The first digit represents protection against ingress of solid objects. • The second digit represents protection against ingress of liquids. The larger the value of each digit, the greater the protection. As an example, a product rated IP54 would be better protected against environmental factors than another similar product rated as IP42.
