Ingress Protection Rating

Manufacturer of GRP/FRP of Enclosures and Kiosks in UAE

What is the standard?

The IP Rating, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60529, classifies and rates the degree of protection provided against intrusion (body parts such as hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures. The equivalent British standard is EN 60529 and it is the common standard adhered to in the GCC region, United Kingdom and Europe.
