0	no protection	no protection
1	Protection from objects > 50mm like a hand	Protection from vertically dripping water
2	Protection from objects > 12mm like a finger	Protection from dripping water when tilted to 15°

6	Dust tight no ingress of dust	Water resistant against powerful jets
7		Protection from immersion up to 1m for a limited time
