IEC
IEC 60529

The IP rating system. The first digit is protection against solids and contact, the second against water, which is why IP65 and IP66 differ in the water test rather than in dust.
This is an explanation, not the standard. PipingInspector is not affiliated with IEC and reproduces no part of the document. Always work to the current edition of the standard itself and to your project specification.
