What is IP30 Conformity?

An IP rating determines the level of ingress protectionthat the device is rated for. Ingress protection ratings determine how dust-resistant and water-resistant a given device is. An equivalent rating but is not likely to be common is a IK rating (which determines shock resistance)

For every IP rating there are two digits - the first one being dust resistance and the second for water resistance. If there's a X on either digit, this means that the tests for this particular characteristic haven't been performed, rated, or there's no resistance.

Most of the time you will see ratings like IP67 or IP68 - this means that (6) is dustproof and (7) or (8) is waterproof at somewhere around 3 to 5 feet underwater for up to about 30 minutes.
