The IP Code consists of the initials of the words 'International Protection Code', that is, 'International Protection Code'.
It shows the resistance of electrical or mechanical devices against water, dust or external impacts, published by the International Electrotechnical Commission.
The IP Classification system generally consists of two numbers side by side. The first digit is the protection class against solid objects,
the second digit indicates the protection class against liquid contact. Increasing these numbers indicates that the product is in a higher level of protection.
The IP protection class is indicated by three numbers on the labels of some devices. The third digit indicates the protection class of the device against mechanical influences.
However, in general, two-digit notation is preferred.
