An IP65 rating is an Ingress Protection (IP) standard that classifies how well electrical devices are protected against solids and liquids. In simple terms, an IP65-rated product is dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction.
The main reason Australians look for IP65-rated products is reliability and durability, especially for outdoor lighting, garden equipment, or bathroom fixtures where exposure to dust, rain, or splashes is common.
Understanding IP Ratings
IP ratings follow the IP (Ingress Protection) code, which includes two digits:
-
First Digit – Solid Protection
-
Second Digit – Liquid Protection
So, IP65 = Dust-tight (6) + Water-resistant to jets (5). This makes it ideal for Australian outdoor conditions and damp areas.
