  The degree of protection against dust and water is indicated by the IP65 rating system, which is a rating system used for electrical equipment. The abbreviation IP stands for " Ingress Protection ," and the next two numbers denote the degree of defense against solids and liquids respectively. If the equipment has a rating of 6, this indicates that it is entirely protected against dust, and if it has a rating of 5, this indicates that it is protected against low-pressure water jets coming from any direction. The following procedures are commonly performed in order to successfully complete an IP65 test for waterproofing and dustproofing: Test for dust resistance involves placing the apparatus in a room free of dust and then simulating the conditions of a dust storm via the use of airflow. This is done in order to assess whether or not the apparatus is capable of preventing dust from accessing the internal components. The equipment is subjected to a water jet that is desig
