IP Value
What’s an IP value?
The IP value indicates to what extent electrical appliances such as lighting fixtures are shielded against
solid objects and water. An IP value always consists of two digits.
The first digit indicates protection against solid objects. The second number indicates the degree to
which the appliance is protected against water.
It makes sense that when a device is well sealed against water, it is also difficult for solid objects to
enter the device. A high second digit is therefore always accompanied by a high first digit.

IP Value Digit 1
IP 0x Not protected.
IP 1x Protected against solid objects with a diameter greater than 50mm (eg accidental
contact with hands).
IP 2x Protected against solid objects with a diameter greater than 12mm (eg fingers).
IP 3x Protected against solid objects with a diameter greater than 2.5mm (eg wires, cables
and tools).
IP 4x Protected against solid objects with a diameter greater than 1mm (eg wires, cables
and tools).
IP 5x Complete protection against contact with live parts (i.e. wiring) and at the same time
harmful accumulation of dust. Dust can enter, but this will not affect operation.
IP 6x Complete protection against contact with live parts (i.e. wiring) and against ingress of
dust.
