> IK Pating

The IK rating classifies the level of protection that electrical appliances provide against mechanical impacts from the outside.lt is
defined by standard IEC 62262.
The degree of mechanical protection is identified by a code that consists of the letters IK followed by two digits:
Code lmpact energy Test
00 Non-protected
