IP (International Protection)

The abbreviation IP stands for International Protection. IP is a standard used to determine the degree of protection of electronic devices. The respective IP protection classes (IP codes) provide information on the extent to which an electronic device is protected against external influences such as water, bacteria, and dirt. Thereby IP codes determine the suitability of a device for certain environments, thus avoiding potential hazards and safety risks during usage.
