What is the difference between IP67 and IP68? Can you go swimming with a product that has IP67?
IP67 vs IP68
IP (Ingress Protection) ratings indicate a device's resistance to dust and water. IP67 means it can withstand dust and submersion in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. IP68 means it can withstand submersion in 1.5 meters of water for at least 30 minutes.
Swimming with IP67
No, swimming with a product that has IP67 is not recommended. IP67 is not waterproof, and while it can withstand brief submersion, swimming creates more pressure and a longer duration of submersion, which could damage the device.
Additional Considerations
- The IP rating only applies to fresh water.
- Devices may not be waterproof in all situations, such as high-pressure water jets.
- Seals and gaskets can degrade over time, affecting water resistance.
