The higher the rating, the greater the protection.
IEC 61010
This international standard defines the safety rules for electrical measurement, control and laboratory instruments.theorY applications

IP RATING
The (ingress protection) rating corresponds the instrument's degree protection against penetration solid bodies (1st digit) and against penetration water (2nd digit).
IEC 61557
This international standard specifies the electrical safety characteristics 1,000 Vac and 1,500 Vdc low-voltage transmision networks.. These requirements also define the performance levels single-phase three-phase networks with rated voltages less than equal 1,000 Vac 1,500 Vdc .), etc. Installations housing (house apartment) must comply with this standard.

. particular, 15-100 defines the protective systems, RCD circuit-breakers, wiring, number and type lighting counts and number power outlets each type room (bathroom, kitchen. defines all the requirements for combined performance measurement and monitoring systems which measure and monitor the electrical parameters electrical transmision networks.. Example: the IEC 61010-2-010 standard specifies the special requirements for laboratory equipment used for heating materials. For some types instruments, this standard completed special prescriptions. product without protection corresponds rating IP00 (minimum rating), whereas product totally protected against solid bodies and liquids rated IP68 (maximum rating).
NF 15-100
This the official safety standard concerning the protection low voltage electrical installations, the protection people and the ease managing, operating and upgrading the installation. guarantees that the instruments' design and construction ensure protection users and their environment against: electric shocks, burns, mechanical hazards, spread fire from the instruments, excessive temperatures, etc
