IP67
Last updated: Aug 9, 2026IP67 is dust-tight and withstands temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The go-to rating for outdoor and rugged devices that may be briefly submerged.
Solid 6
Dust-Tight
Liquid 7
Temporary Immersion (up to 1 m)
What IP67 means
The IP code IP67 is part of the IEC 60529 standard for ingress protection. The first characteristic numeral, 6, indicates the level of protection against solid objects and access to hazardous parts. The second numeral, 7, indicates the level of protection against the ingress of water. Together, these digits describe exactly what an enclosure rated IP67 can withstand.
For solid protection, the digit 6 means the enclosure is dust-tight. Protected against access to hazardous parts with a wire. No ingress of dust whatsoever. The test method is dust chamber (talcum powder) for 8 hours (2 hours if equipment is in operation) with enclosure under reduced internal pressure; no dust ingress permitted.
For liquid protection, the digit 7 means the enclosure resists temporary immersion (up to 1 m). Protection against the effects of temporary immersion in water under standardized conditions. Ingress of water in quantities causing harmful effects shall not be possible. The test procedure is immersion in water with the lowest point of the enclosure up to 1 m below the surface for 30 minutes.
IP67 vs IP68: IP68 supports continuous submersion beyond 1 m. IP67 vs IP66: IP66 has stronger jet resistance but no immersion rating. When specifying IP67 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.
