The code may contain other letters and numbers beyond the first two, but these are not relevant for off-grid PV system design and installation. The first character after IP signifies the protection that the enclosure provides against the entrance of foreign bodies and protection of people from hazardous parts. The second character after IP signifies the protection that the enclosure provides against the entrance of moisture.
