A label such as IP67 or IP68 is useful, but it describes performance under defined tests rather than a promise that the device can handle every kind of exposure.</p> <p>The code becomes much easier to use once you separate its two parts. The first digit concerns protection against access and solid objects, including dust at the higher levels. The second concerns water. Each part represents a particular test category, so the number is more like a compact test result than a general durability score.</p>
