IEC 60529-2013 pdf free.Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code).
It will remain the responsibility of individual technical committees to decide on the extent and manner in which, the classification is used in their standards and to define enclosure” as it applies to their equipment. However, it is recommended that for a given classification the tests do not differ from those specified in this standard. If necessary, complementary requirements may be included in the relevant product standard. A guide for the details to be specified in relevant product standards is given in annex B.
For a particular type of equipment, a technical committee may specify different requirements provided that at least the same level of safety is ensured.
This standard deals only with enclosures that are in all other respects suitable for their intended use as specified in the relevant product standard and which from the point of view of materials and workmanship ensure that the claimed degrees of protection are maintained under the normal conditions of use.
This standard is also applicable to empty enclosures provided that the general test requirements are met and that the selected degree of protection is suitable for the type of equipment to be protected.
Measures to protect both the enclosure and the equipment inside the enclosure against external influences or conditions such as
— mechanical impacts
— corrosion
— corrosive solvents (for example, cutting liquids)
— fungus
— vermin
— solar radiation
— icing
— moisture (for example, produced by condensation)
— explosive atmospheres

3 Definitions
For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions apply: enclosure
a part providing protection of equipment against certain external influences ana. in any direction, protection against direct contact (1EV 826-03-12J’.
NOTE This definition taken from the existing International EIectrotechnical Vocabulary (1EV) needs the following explanations under the scope of this standard:
1) Enclosures provide protection of persons or livestock against access to hazardous parts.
2) Barriers, shapes of openings or any other means — whether attached to the enclosure or formed by the enclosed equipment — suitable to prevent or limit the penetration of the specified test probes are considered as a part of the enclosure, except when they can be removed without the use of a key or tool.
3.2 direct contact contact of persons or livestock with live parts (1EV 826-03-05J
NOTE This 1EV definition is given for information. In this standard direct contact’ is replaced by access to hazardous parts.IEC 60529 pdf free download.
