Degrees of Protection - First Digit

An IP code's first digit demonstrates the degree that persons are safeguarded against both contact with moving parts - excluding smooth rotating shafts and similar parts - and the level of protection regarding solid foreign bodies being prevented from intruding into an enclosure.

Degrees of Protection - Second Digit

The second digit of an IP code indicates the level of protection that equipment inside the enclosure receives with regard to the entry of various forms of moisture, including spraying and dripping.
