IP ratings chart - IP Ratings Explained .pdf

An IP (Ingress Protection) rating chart provides a standardized system for measuring the degree of protection a device has against solids (dust) and liquids (water). The chart typically includes two digits: the first number indicates protection from solid objects (ranging from 0 to 6), and the second digit represents protection from liquids (ranging from 0 to 9). Higher numbers signify better protection. This chart helps consumers and professionals understand the durability and suitability of electronic devices for various environments.
