IP and IK Protection
IP Protection IEC 60529
IP Code marking is a systematization of the values of the protection of the electrical appliances and electrical equipment enclosure under the influence of various adverse conditions, such as the humidity effects, open liquid ingress, dust, pollution, and the impact of different environments.

IK Protection EN 62262
The IK index is another international standardization that will be responsible for the ability of the device desing to withstand kinetic energy and various kinds of mechanical damage. This value indicates how strong the shell is. Equipped with a durable case made of an alloy of metal and polymer, which guarantees a high level of protection. As in the previous case, standardization has a digital index, which has a protection level from 00 to 10.
