This guide created by Itieffe represents an essential resource for those who work with electrical and electronic equipment, industrial plants, outdoor equipment or any application where protection from external agents such as dust, humidity and solids is essential. This guide provides a complete and detailed overview of IP (Ingress Protection) Ratings, a standardized classification system used around the world to evaluate and specify the level of protection offered by an enclosure or housing against harmful infiltration.

Knowledge of Degrees of Protection is crucial in a wide range of sectors, including engineering, industry, automation, construction, electronics, security and many others. These grades provide a clear framework for choosing equipment and housings suited to the specific environment in which they will be used, ensuring operator safety, equipment life and continuity of operations.

Within this guide, we will examine the different Degrees of Protection in detail, divided according to their meaning and practical application. We will guide you through the different categories of protection against dust and moisture. You will learn to interpret the many combinations of numbers and letters that make up the IP rating code and how to apply them appropriately to your projects and applications.

Understanding the Degrees of Protection is essential to guarantee the safety of the systems, the quality of the products and compliance with current regulations. In this guide, you will find clear explanations to correctly apply these standards in your projects and purchasing decisions.
