What is an IP certification?
“IP” staat voor: Ingress Protection Rating. Nu de naam duidelijk is, is het al iets gemakkelijker te begrijpen. Met andere woorden, het laat zien hoe goed elektronische producten zoals smartwatches, smartphones en LED verlichting zijn beschermd tegen invloeden van buitenaf zoals water en stof. De IP-afkorting wordt gevolgd door een twee cijferig nummer dat het beschermingstype van het product aangeeft. Hieronder lees je onder andere meer over IP67 en andere certificeringen.
IP67: Immersion-proof
Looking for a device that will allow you to go through dust or a rainstorm without worry? Then we recommend you buy a device with at least an IP67 certificate. If you choose an IP67 product, you can be sure that it is completely water and dust proof. IP67 products are also known as 'underwater products'. This means that they can survive up to 30 minutes in water to a depth of 1 metre. More and more products are exceeding this level of water resistance.
Is IP67 Waterproof?
The IP code is configured as follows: The first digit (6) stands for "protection against the ingress of e.g. water". The higher the number (on a scale of 1 to 6), the better the protection. This applies to dust, dirt, tools, touches, etc. The number 6 means completely dustproof. The second digit (7) stands for "protection against moisture". Again, the higher the number (on a scale from 1 to 8), the better the protection.
What are common IP values?
Value(s) that are commonly found are such as: IP65, (IP67) these enclosures are resistant to water jets. In practice, this could be a water hose used to water the garden. The highest protection class is IP68 and is water pressure resistant, so it is suitable for use under water. IP69K thus offers protection against the penetration of dust, protection against very high kleur temperaturen and very high pressure (in the case of water, for example), making products with this certification ideal for use in conditions where equipment needs to be carefully decontaminated. TRALERT® has a wide range of IP products such as our LED hamburgerlamp.
