What is IP, NEMA, and IK Ratings?
IP Rating
IP rating consists of 2 numbers, which is a standard for ingress protection. Dahua products are usually IP67.
The IP69K test specification was initially developed for road vehicles, especially those that need regular intensive cleaning (dump trucks, cement mixers, etc.). German standard DIN 40050-9 extends the IEC 60529 rating system described above with an IP69K rating for high-pressure, high-temperature wash-down applications. Such enclosures must not only be dust-tight (IP6X), but it must also be able to withstand high-pressure and steam cleaning.
NEMA Rating
NEMA rating is the same as IP except their numbers goes from 1 to 13 with R,S,X,K as variations.
