IP Rating Information
An ingress protection, or IP, rating is used to specify the strength of an enclosure surrounding
electronic equipment. Each IP rating consists of two numbers. The first number indicates the
level of protection an enclosure provides against intrusion by solid objects, materials, or dust.
The second number indicates the level of protection against intrusion by water or liquids.

protected against the following conditions:
Penetration of solid foreign objects equal to or greater than 1.0 mm in diameter
