===First digit: Solid particle protection===

The first digit indicates the level of protection that the enclosure provides against access to hazardous parts (e.g., electrical conductors, moving parts) and the ingress of solid foreign objects.<ref name="IEC 60529">{{cite book |title=IEC 60529 - Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code) |series=International standard |author=International Electrotechnical Commission |edition=2.2 |year=2013 |page=21 |isbn=9782832210864 |oclc=864643678|ref={{harvid|IEC 60529|2013}} }}</ref>

===Second digit: Liquid ingress protection===<!--where does this info come from? it doesn't seem to be using the standard terminology for the ratings-->

The second digit indicates the level of protection that the enclosure provides against harmful ingress of water.<ref name="NE Laser">{{citation|title=Ingress Protection: The System of Tests and Meaning of Codes|url=http://www.ce-mag.com/archive/06/ARG/bisenius.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130522115323/http://www.ce-mag.com/archive/06/ARG/bisenius.htm|archive-date=2013-05-22|url-status=dead}}.<!-- http://www.webcitation.org/6DGYoRMwp?url=http://www.ce-mag.com/archive/06/ARG/bisenius.htm --></ref>

The ratings for water ingress are not cumulative beyond IPX6. A device that is compliant with IPX7 (covering water immersion in water) is not necessarily compliant with IPX5 or IPX6 (covering exposure to water jets). A device that meets both tests is indicated by listing both tests separated by a slash, e.g. IPX5/IPX7.

| Dripping water || Dripping water (vertically falling drops) shall have no unsafe effect on the specimen when mounted in an upright position onto a turntable and rotated at 1 RPM. || Test duration: 10&nbsp;minutes

Water equivalent to {{convert|1|mm|in|abbr=on}} rainfall per minute<br />

Line 86:

| Spraying water || Water falling as a spray at any angle up to 60° from the vertical shall have no harmful effect, utilizing either: a) an oscillating fixture, or b) A spray nozzle with a counterbalanced shield.

Test a) is conducted for 5 minutes, then repeated with the specimen rotated horizontally by 90° for the second 5-minute test. Test b) is conducted (with a shield in place) for 5 minutes minimum.

|| For a spray nozzle:

Test duration: 1 minute per square meter for at least 5&nbsp;minutes{{sfn|IEC 60529|2013|p=27}}

| Immersion, {{convert|1|meter}} or more depth || The equipment is suitable for continuous immersion in water under conditions which shallthe bemanufacturer specifiedshall by the manufacturerspecify. However, with certain types of equipment, it can mean that water can enter but only in such a mannerso that it produces no harmful effects. The test depth and duration isare expected to be greater than the requirements for IPx7, and other environmental effects may be added, such as temperature cycling before immersion. || Test duration: agreement with the manufacturer

Depth specified by the manufacturer, generally up to {{convert|3|meters}}

|Powerful high-temperature water jets||Protected against close-range high -pressure, high-temperature spray downs.

Smaller specimens rotate slowly on a turntable, from 4 specific angles. Larger specimens are mounted in the intended position when being used, no turntable required, and are tested freehand for at least 3 minutes at a distance of {{convert|0.15|-|0.2|meters}}.

The specific requirements for the test nozzle are shown in figures 7, 8, & 9 of IEC (or EN) 60529.

Water temperature: {{convert|80|C}}

(All tests with the letter "K" are defined by ISO 20653 (replacing DIN 40050-9) and are not found in IEC 60529, except for IPx9, which is the same as the IP69K water test.)

The letter K is specified in ISO 20653 (replacing DIN 40050-9), and not in IEC 60529.
