The GB/T 4208-2008 standard is a national standard issued by the Standardization Administration of China, specifying the protection ratings for electrical equipment enclosures, along with the corresponding test methods and performance requirements.

According to this standard, enclosure protection ratings are classified into the following 10 levels:

  • IP00: No protection
  • IP01: Protection against vertically falling water drops
  • IP02: Protection against water drops when the enclosure is tilted up to 15°
  • IP03: Protection against spraying water at an angle up to 60° from vertical
  • IP04: Protection against splashing water from any direction
  • IP05: Protection against low-pressure water jets from any direction
  • IP06: Protection against high-pressure water jets from any direction
  • IP07: Protection against temporary immersion in water under specified conditions
  • IP08: Protection against continuous immersion in water under specified pressure
  • IP09K: Protection against high-temperature, high-pressure water jets

The purpose of this standard is to ensure the normal operation of electrical equipment in various environments and effectively prevent the ingress of water, dust, sand, gravel, and other foreign objects, thereby enhancing the equipment's service life and safety performance.
