[[File:09584jfCalumpit Pulilan Bulacan Landmarksfvf 17.jpg|thumb|IP65 LED lamp]]The '''IP code''' or '''ingress protection code''' indicates how well a device is protected against water and dust. It is defined by the [[International Electrotechnical Commission]] (IEC) under the [[international standard]] IEC 60529 which classifies and provides a guideline to the degree of protection provided by mechanical casings and [[electrical enclosures]] against intrusion, [[dust]], accidental contact, and [[waterproofing|water]]. It is published in the European Union by the [[European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization]] (CENELEC) as EN 60529.▼

The standard aims to provide users more detailed information than vague marketing terms such as ''waterproof''. For example, a cellular phone rated at IP67 is "dust resistant" and can be "immersed in 1 meter of freshwater for up to 30 minutes". Similarly, an electrical socket rated IP22 is protected against insertion of fingers and will not become unsafe during a specified test in which it is exposed to vertically or nearly vertically dripping water. IP22 or IP2X are typical minimum requirements for the design of electrical accessories for indoor use.
