FIRST DIGIT SECOND DIGIT IK CODE Protection against solid objects Protection against liquids Protection against mechanical impacts IP Test IP Test IK TEST 00 01-05 06 07 08 09 10 no protection impact < 1 joule impact 1 joule impact 2 joule impact 5 joule impact 10 joule impact 20 joule 2 Ingress protection class of enclosures is given in the form of IP classification, a two digit coding which is shown below. Fibox has tested the enclosures according to EN 60529. The standard requires the second digit to be tested from class 6 upwards separately to each level of class, thus the double marking IP 66 / IP 67 indicates that the actual tests have been made for both levels. The new European standard for empty enclosures, EN 62208 includes the IK impact test too. This test is described in EN 50102, and as Fibox enclosures are tested to EN 62208, the data for impact resistance will be available as well.
