As a manufacturer we hold the various certifications required in order to market our products as having correct, effective IP ratings. Offering a combination of protection against foreign objects and moisture, we can design your enclosure to the latest BS EN 60529 standards. From protection against objects greater than 50mm all the way through to being dust tight, your new enclosure can also be protected against varying degrees of moisture and water pressure; offering protection from light rain to powerful water jets. We can manufacture enclosures with independently proven IP ratings, depending on their application.
What is the BS EN 60529?
BS EN 60529 is a British and European standard that outlines the classification of degrees of protection provided by enclosures for electrical equipment. The IP (ingress protection) rating is specified by this standard, which outlines the level of protection an enclosure offers against the intrusion of liquids and solids.
The IP rating consists of two digits. The first one indicates protection against solids, and the second one represents protection against liquids.
The standard of BS EN 60529 makes sure that manufacturers like A&T Enclosures follow consistent guidelines for designing and manufacturing enclosures. It also aims to provide users with a clear comprehension of the protection levels offered by various products. The standard is widely used in industries where electrical systems are exposed to environmental conditions.
At A&T Enclosures, we are committed to designing and manufacturing electrical enclosures to the latest BS EN 60529 standards. You can be assured of the quality of our products.
IP Ratings Explained
An IP rating has two digits with the first representing protection against solids and the second digit representing protection from liquids. The higher the number for either digit, the higher the level of protection; the letter x is used in place of a number to denote that no testing has been carried out for that classification. A rating of zero means that the enclosure offers no protection.
