What is the IP standard? What is the IPX standard?

The IP standard is an international standard parameter for the level of dust and water resistance achieved by the device . IP is an acronym for Ingress Protection, that is, the Ingress Protection trademark or the International (Internal) Protection trademark .

Followed by the lowercase IP with two digits to indicate the degree of protection of the device against external factors such as solids and liquids . Thereby helping you feel more secure in the process of using the device when encountering such substances without fear of damage to the device.

With the IPX standard also having the same meaning, the X is the abbreviation of the two significant digits that follow the IP that lassho.edu.vn just shared above.

In other words, the IPX standard is the IP standard with the letter X – where the X is a two-digit symbol representing the device’s dust and water resistance . In addition, in some cases, the letter X can also be interpreted as the number 0, like IPX5 means IP05.

Meaning of characters in the IP . standard

The IP number on the device will have a different meaning depending on the two digits that follow the letter IP. It can be said that the higher the IP rating, the better the protection of the device from solid and liquid objects (such as dust and water).

The meanings of the characters in the specific IP standard are as follows:

First character

The first (digit) character indicates the degree of protection the device’s enclosure is capable of against solid objects, against dust from the external environment , such as metal tools (knives, scissors, next to the safe,…) and nails.

Second character

With the second (digit) character indicating the degree of protection of the device shell from liquids such as splashes, splashes, immersion in water, etc.
