IK Rating

IK Rating classifies the level of protection electrical appliances provide against mechanical impacts from outside. It is defined by the standard IEC 62262.The degree of mechanical protection is identified by a code that consists of the letters IK followed by two digits:
Code
Impact energy (Joules)
Test
00
Non-protected

01
0.15
Resistant against an impact from an object of 200 grams thrown from a distance of 7.5 cm
02
0.2
Resistant against an impact from an object of 200 grams thrown from a distance of 10 cm
03
0.35
Resistant against an impact from an object of 200 grams thrown from a distance of 17.5 cm
04
0.5
Resistant against an impact from an object of 200 grams thrown from a distance of 25 cm
05
0.7
Resistant against an impact from an object of 200 grams thrown from a distance of 35 cm
06
