IP Rating Chart for Electrical Equipment

The document provides an IP rating chart that indicates the protection levels for electrical equipment enclosures. The first numeral from 0-6 rates protection against access to hazardous parts and ingress of solid objects. The second numeral from 0-8 rates protection against ingress of water at increasing levels, from non-protected to continuous submersion. Higher numbers indicate better protection. The chart defines the requirements for each protection level.
