[[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.
Line 77 ⟶ 80:
! 1
| Dripping water || Dripping water (vertically falling drops) shall have no unsafe effect on the specimen when mounted upright onto a turntable and rotated at 1 RPM. || Test duration: 10 minutes
Water equivalent to {{convert|1|mm|in|abbr=on}} rainfall per minute<br />
|-
! 2
Line 86 ⟶ 89:
| 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}}
Line 98 ⟶ 101:
! 4
| Splashing of water || Water splashing against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effect, utilizing either:
a) an oscillating fixture, or b) A spray nozzle with no shield.
Test
a) is conducted for 10 minutes.
b) is conducted (without shield) for 5 minutes minimum.
||Oscillating tube: Test duration: 10 minutes, or spray nozzle (same as IPX3 spray nozzle with the shield removed)

| Immersion, {{convert|1|meter}} or more depth || The equipment is suitable for continuous immersion in water under conditions which the manufacturer shall specify. However, with certain types of equipment, it can mean that water can enter but only so that it produces no harmful effects. The test depth and duration are 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}}

Line 134 ⟶ 137:
 
This test is identified as IPx9 in IEC 60529.
| Test duration: Fixture: 30 sec. in each of 4 angles (2 min. total), Freehand: 1 min/m<sup>2</sup>, 3 min. minimum
Water volume: {{convert|14|-|16|liters/min}}
Pressure: {{convert|8|–|10|MPa|bar|abbr=on}} at distance of {{convert|0.10|-|0.15|meters}}
