IP00
Last updated: Aug 9, 2026IP00 offers no protection against solid objects or moisture. It is suitable only for indoor, climate-controlled environments where the equipment is fully enclosed within another protective housing.

What IP00 means
The IP code IP00 is part of the IEC 60529 standard for ingress protection. The first characteristic numeral, 0, indicates the level of protection against solid objects and access to hazardous parts. The second numeral, 0, indicates the level of protection against the ingress of water. Together, these digits describe exactly what an enclosure rated IP00 can withstand.
For solid protection, the digit 0 means the enclosure is no protection. No special protection against contact or ingress of solid foreign objects. The test method is no test required.
For liquid protection, the digit 0 means the enclosure resists no protection. No special protection against the ingress of water. The test procedure is no test required.
IP00 vs IP20: IP20 adds finger and 12.5 mm object protection, making it the minimum practical level for general indoor electronics. When specifying IP00 for a project, confirm the rating certificate from the manufacturer and consider that seals degrade over time with temperature cycling, UV exposure, and chemical contact.
