IP Rating: What Ingress Rating do I need for my Outdoor Electrical Lighting:
When positioned outside, light fittings are much more likely to come into touch with exterior materials and things than they are within. This implies that proper safety measures must be put in place for both the goal of preventing damage to the light and, more crucially, for the sake of safeguarding people from electric shock and harm.
Your outdoor electrical lighting may be damaged by a variety of external pressures when installed outside, including being accidently touched or walked on, intentional tampering, unintentional force from tools and spades, wildlife activity, dust, dirt, and wire. Not to mention rain, wind, and submersion in water. If your outdoor electrical lighting doesn't have the appropriate amount of protection for where it is installed, all of these factors might lead to damage and failure.
Therefore, it is important to have the correct IP rating on your outdoor light fittings.
First Digit in IP Rating Table
| 0/X | This IP chart rating means Not Rated (or no rating has been supplied) for protection against ingress of this type. |
| 1 | IP chart rating of 1 indicates protection against solid objects which are larger than 50mm (accidental hand contact with open palm) but not against any type of deliberate damage caused by body contact. |
| 2 | The IP chart rating of 2 means that the device has protection against solid objects that are larger than 12mm (accidental finger contact). |
| 3 | An IP rating chart of 3 shows protection against any solid object which is larger than the size of 2.5mm – this includes objects such as tools and wires. |
| 4 | IP chart rating of 4 pertains to protection against any solid object that is larger than 1mm, and this includes fine tools and wires, nails, screws, larger insects, and any other potentially invasive smaller objects. |
| 5 | If an object has an IP chart rating of 5, then it has partial protection against external substances such as dust and other particulates. The item is protected in a manner that any ingress cannot damage or come in the way of its satisfactory performance of internal components. |
| 6 | An IP chart rating of 6 means that the device has full protection against dust and other similar particulates of its kind. In addition, the device includes a vacuum seal and has been tested against continuous airflow. |
Second Digit in IP Rating Table
| 0/X | This IP chart rating means Not Rated (or no rating has been supplied) for protection against ingress of this type. |
| 1 | With an IP rating chart of 1, the device is protected against vertically falling droplets of a liquid such as condensation. It is sufficient to assume that no damage or interruption in the functioning of components will happen when an item is placed upright. |
| 2 | An IP rating of 2 on an IP rating chart indicates that the device is sufficiently protected against vertically dripping water when an enclosure is tilted up to 15° off vertical. |
| 3 | A device having an IP rating of 3 on an IP rating chart means that it has protection against direct moisture spray at angles up to 60° off vertical. |
| 4 | IP rating of 4 on an IP rating chart indicates that the device has protection against any splashing water/liquid and that it was tested for a minimum of 10 minutes with an oscillating spray. In other words, limited ingress is permitted with no harmful effects to be concerned about. |
| 5 | An IP rating of 5 on an IP rating table means that the device has protection against low-pressure jets (sized 6.3 mm) of direct water from any angle. Limited ingress is therefore permitted with no chance of harmful effects. |
| 6 | IP rating of 6 on an IP rating table indicates that the device has protection against powerful jets with a nozzle size of 12.5 mm. It can withstand directed water from any direction. |
| 7 | Devices with an IP rating of 7 on an IP rating table show that it has protection against and has been tested for full immersion for up to 30 minutes at liquid depths between 15cm and 1 metre. There is limited ingress permitted with no harmful effects |
| 8 | IP rating of 8 on an IP rating table means that the device has proper protection against extended immersion under high pressure (i.e greater depths). It indicates that precise parameters of this will be set and advertised by the manufacturer. This includes additional factors such as temperature fluctuations and flow rates, depending on the type of equipment that is being dealt with. |
| 9K | A strong IP rating of 9K on an IP rating table indicates protection against high-pressure, high-temperature jet sprays, wash-downs, or steam-cleaning procedures. When this IP rating is found on an IP rating table for a device, it is most likely seen on a road vehicle application of some type. It usually has a standard ISO 20653:2013 Road Vehicles - Degrees of protection |
