• NEMA ratings vs IP ratings
Whereas IP ratings only consider protection against ingress of foreign bodies - first digit - and ingress of water
(second digit), NEMA ratings consider these but also verify protection from external ice, corrosive materials, oil

equivalent to an IP rating but it is not possible to say the contrary.
Below a list of some NEMA standards:
