The BSI safety mark guarantee the product’s electrical, mechanical
and thermal safety.
The code written (Index Protection) followed two numbers

protection against water penetration.
● Comply with the IEE Regulations

for example: 60898: 1991 the British and European Standard for

Index Protection (IP) 60529
IEE Regulation 612.
The BSI kite mark assurance that the product carrying the label has
been produced under system supervision, control and testing, and can
only used manufacturers who have been granted licence under the
scheme.5 tells that where barriers and enclosures have
been installed prevent direct contact with live parts, they must afford a
degree protection not less than IP2X and IP4X, but what does this mean?
The Index Protection code which gives means specifying the
suitability equipment for the environmental conditions which will

The mark gives the manufacturer the right sell the product all the

of solid objects into the enclosure. For example, piece equipment
classified IP45 will have barriers installed which prevent 1-mm diam-
eter rigid steel bar from making contact with live parts and protected
against the ingress water from jets water applied from any direction. The mark applied the manufacturer after carrying out the
