DEGREES OF PROTECTION AGAINST ACCESS TO HAZARDOUS PARTS
AND AGAINST SOLID FOREIGN OBJECTS INDICATED BY THE FIRST
CHARACTERISTIC NUMERAL

5

The designation with a first characteristic numeral
implies that conditions stated in both 5.1and 5.2
are met.

Verdict

Pass

The first characteristic numeral indicates that:

5.1

the enclosure provides protection of persons
against access to hazardous parts by preventing
or limiting the ingress of a partof the human body or an object held by aperson;Pass

and simultaneously the enclosure provides
protection of equipment against the ingress ofsolid foreign objects.

Pass

An enclosure shall only be designated with astated degree of protection indicated by the firstcharacteristic numeral if it also complies with all
lower degrees of protection.

Pass

However, the tests establishing compliance withany one of the lower degrees of protection need
not necessarily be carried out provided that thesetests would obviously be met if applied

Pass

Protection against access to hazardous parts
Tab. I gives brief descriptions and definitions
for the degrees of protection against access tohazardous parts.

Pass

Degrees of protection listed in table I shallbe specified only by the first characteristic
numeral and not by reference to the brief
descriptionor definition.

Pass

To comply with the conditions of the firstcharacteristic numeral, adequate clearance shallbe kept between the access probe andhazardous parts

The adequate clearance should be specified by
the relevant product committee in accordancewith 12.3.

Table II,Pass

the definition “shall not penetrate” is given in
Table I.

Protection against solid foreign objects
Tab. II gives brief descriptions and the definitions
for the degrees of protection against thepenetration of solid foreign objects including dust.

PassDegrees of protection listed in Tab II shallPass

only be specified by the first characteristic
numeral and not by reference to the brief
description or definition.
The protection against the ingress of solid foreign
objects implies that the object probes up to
numeral 2 in Tab. II shall not fully penetrate theenclosure. This means that the full diameter ofthe sphere shall not pass through an opening in
the enclosure.

Pass

Object probes for numerals 3 and 4 shall not
penetrate the enclosure at all.

Pass

Dust-protected enclosures to numeral 5 allow a
limited quantity of dust to penetrate under certain
conditions.

N/A

Dust-tight enclosures to numeral 6 do not allow
any dust to penetrate.

Pass

Note Enclosures assigned a first characteristic
numeral of 1 to 4

Verdict

Pass

Test conditions
The access probe is pushed against or (in case of
the test for first characteristic numeral 2) inserted
through any openings of the enclosure with theforce specified in Tab. VI.

Pass

For tests on low-voltage equipment, a low-voltage
supply (of not less than 40 V and not more than
50 V) in series with a suitable lamp should beconnected between the probe and the hazardous
parts inside the enclosure. Hazardous live parts
covered only with varnish or paint, or protected byoxidation or by a similar process, are covered bya metal foil electrically connected to those parts
which are normally live in operation.

N/A

The signal-circuit method should also be applied
to the hazardous moving parts of high-voltage
equipment.

N/AInternal moving parts may be operated slowly,
where this is possibile.

N/A

Acceptance conditions
The protection is satisfactory if adequate
clearance is kept between the access probe andhazardous parts.

Pass

For the test of first characteristic numeral 1, theaccess probe 50 mm diameter shall notcompletely pass through the opening.

Pass

Details concerning compliance of degrees ofprotection – in particular for second characteristic
numerals 5/6 (water jets) and numerals 7/8(immersion) – are given in Clause 6.

Pass

The tests are conducted with fresh water.

Pass

During the tests for IPX1 to IPX6 the watertemperature should not differ by more than 5 Kfrom the temperature of the specimen under
test.
