==IP1X Link==
Are we sure that the link [http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/vilcus/ Vilcus dactyloadapter – elegant example of an IP1X design] is appropriate? It may be rather funny but it may be confusing to people who don’t understand that it is a joke. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/195.173.199.115|195.173.199.115]] ([[User talk:195.173.199.115|talk]]) 14:43, 16 November 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Is this really IP1X? Looks like IP11 to me. I can't see how dripping water could have any effect on this piece of equipment. --[[User:Slashme|Slashme]] ([[User talk:Slashme|talk]]) 11:40, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
:Not having had physical access to of these when I added this link, I didn't want to make a tele-evaluation of what water ingress could do to this device, hence the X meaning "not rated". Given the device's description and purpose, I was very confident that it could be rated IP1X (and in fact serve as an elegant example of this class of devices :-).

In my view, I have never seen an encyclopedia where humorists or jokesters are welcomed to display their savvy in pointing out the satirical side of knowledge. Wikipedia users seek informed knowledge — not informed humor, nor informed jokes. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:OIBtheOne|OIBtheOne]] ([[User talk:OIBtheOne#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/OIBtheOne|contribs]]) 17:55, 15 November 2016 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
==Third digit==
Moved the third-digit section over here, until someone can back it with a reference. [[User:Markus Kuhn|Markus Kuhn]] 10:12, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
:Not defined in IEC 60529, but (presumably?) covered in some national variants of the standard, is an optional third digit that can be added to indicate how well the enclosure is protected against mechanical impact damage. The table below lists both the impact energy in [[joules]], as well as the mass of a test opject that will provide this impact energy if dropped from the given height above the impact surface.

* The See Also reference to Water Resistant mark used to be "Water Resistant mark on wrist watches and eye bands". This term "eye bands" is not defined or used in the linked article, and seems not to be in common use for anything. I've removed it.

== IP Code = Ingress protection code? ==
IP Code stands for International Protection Code. It is a standardisation, so how can it be referred to differently?
For example, the British Standards is referred to directly, yet IP Code is not, it somehow has an indirect meaning "Ingress Protection Code". It then refers to the direct meaning as "sometimes interpreted as International Protection Code".
If we stick to the facts, the opening sentence should be restructured. It currently stands as and I quote...
"The IP Code, or Ingress Protection Code, IEC standard 60529, sometimes interpreted as International Protection Code"
should be changed to...
"The IP Code, or International Protection Code, IEC standard 60529, sometimes interpreted as Ingress Protection Code".
My sources are true and correct and pertain to the BS7671:2018, otherwise referred to as the IET Wiring Regulations Eighteenth Edition. [[User:Sparky Jay21|Sparky Jay21]] ([[User talk:Sparky Jay21|talk]]) 21:47, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
: {{Agree}} Please remove the mention of '''International Protection''' entirely. We should not propagate obviously incorrect information? [[User:Ulfran|Ulfran]] ([[User talk:Ulfran|talk]]) 19:53, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
