The IP and IK classifications
Ingress protection class of enclosures is given in the form of IP classification, a two digit coding which is shown below. Fibox
has tested the enclosures according to EN . The standard requires the second digit to be tested from class  upwards
separately to each level of class, thus the double marking IP  / IP  indicates that the actual tests have been made for
both levels.
The new European standard for empty enclosures, EN  includes the IK impact test too. This test is described in EN
, and as Fibox enclosures are tested to EN , the data for impact resistance will be available as well.
