We have committed Paramount to certifying all our enclosed product for Ingress Protection, so this list is a "work in progress."

Understanding IP ratings
IEC Standard 529 established a system for rating "Ingress Protection" for electrial equipment, including luminaires.

The first digit indicates the level of protection against intrusion from foreign bodies, including dust. The second digit indicates the level of protection against harmful entry of moisture.

1st Digit	Protection From Dust	2nd Digit	Protection From Moisture
0	Non-protected	0	Non-protected
1	Protected against objects > 50 mm	1	Protected against dripping water
2	Protected against objects > 12 mm	2	Protected against dripping water when tilted up to 15
3	Protected against objects > 2.5 mm	3	Protected against spraying water
4	Protected against objects > 1.0 mm	4	Protected against splashing water
5	Dust-protected	5	Protected against water jets
6	Dust-tight	6	Protected against heavy seas
		7	Protected against the effects of immersion
		8	Protected against submersion

NEMA and Other Hosedown/Immersion Protection Rating Systems:

There are other systems for rating ingress protection, including the NEMA Enclosure Type system. But please note, these Numbers cover different environmental factors. The tests for these characteristics are also different, so even if there is some overlap, IP rating codes can not be exactly equated with the NEMA enclosure types.
