IP codes are a standard set forth by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), According to the organization, the codes are designed as a [performance] series level 3 case for apple iphone 6 and 6s - black/cyan "system for classifying the degrees of protection provided by the enclosures of electrical equipment."The first number in the rating code represents the degree of protection provided against the entry of foreign solid objects, such as fingers or dust, These protection levels range from 0 to 6, The second number represents the degree of protection against the entry of moisture, with protection levels ranging from 0 through 8..

An IP code with an "X" in place of the first or second number means that a device hasn't been tested to protect against the entry of solid objects (the first number) or moisture (the second number). For example, a device with the rating IPX7 is protected from accidental submersion in 1 meter (3.3 feet) of water for up to 30 minutes, but it has not been tested against the entry of dust. Below you will find a chart that outlines all of the protection levels set by the IEC. As an example, an electrical socket rated IP22 (typically the minimum requirement for electrical accessories designed for indoor use) is protected against insertion of fingers and won't be damaged by vertically dripping water. Since we are talking about our gadgets, however, you only need to pay attention to IP ratings above IP5X or IP6X (for resistance or protection from dust).

The iPhone 8 (£594 at Amazon.co.uk) and 8 Plus are certified with an IP67 rating, which means that they are fully protected from dust (6) and can also withstand being submerged in 1m (about 3.3 feet) of static water for up to 30 mins (7), Then there is the Samsung Galaxy S8, which is rated IP68, This means that like the iPhone 8 (and 8 Plus), the Galaxy S8 can withstand being submerged in static water, but the specific depth and [performance] series level 3 case for apple iphone 6 and 6s - black/cyan duration must be disclosed by the company, which in this case is 1.5 meters (about 5 feet) for up to 30 minutes..

Not too complicated, right? Unfortunately it's not all cut and dried. Devices aren't required to pass every test leading up to the highest rating they achieve, although many companies do test them at varies levels. In some cases, however, a phone rated with IP67 may not have been tested against dust protection levels 1 through 5, or water protection levels 1 through 6. For example, since the iPhone 8 doesn't include the IPX5 or IPX6 rating for withstanding water coming from a jet, you shouldn't take it in the shower or run it under the sink, unless Apple specifically states otherwise, which it didn't. In fact, the company has said that liquid damage isn't covered under the phone's standard warranty.
