IP67

IP67 is an ingress protection rating under IEC 60529. The first digit, 6, confirms the device is completely dust-tight. The second digit, 7, certifies protection against temporary immersion in water up to one metre deep for thirty minutes. IP67-rated rugged devices survive accidental drops into water, flooding, and heavy rain, offering immersion protection that jet-rated devices do not.IP67 is a benchmark sealing level for rugged tablets, sealed Bluetooth and industrial keyboards, and stainless-steel displays used in field, marine, and outdoor industrial roles. It suits operators who risk brief submersion or work in wet, unpredictable conditions. For sustained or deeper immersion, specify IP68; for high-pressure hot-water washdown, look to IP69K.Frequently asked questionsIs IP67 waterproof?IP67 is waterproof to a defined limit. Under IEC 60529, the second digit 7 certifies protection against temporary immersion in water up to one metre deep for thirty minutes. An IP67 device survives accidental drops into water, flooding and heavy rain. For sustained or deeper immersion, however, you need IP68, which covers continuous immersion beyond one metre.What is the difference between IP67 and IP68?Both IP67 and IP68 are fully dust-tight. IP67 certifies temporary immersion in water up to one metre deep for thirty minutes. IP68 certifies continuous immersion beyond one metre, with the exact depth and duration set by the manufacturer rather than fixed by the standard. Choose IP68 for prolonged or deeper underwater exposure; IP67 covers brief, accidental submersion.How deep can an IP67 device go in water?An IP67 device is certified for immersion in water up to one metre deep for up to thirty minutes, as defined by IEC 60529. This covers accidental drops into water, brief submersion and flooding. It is not intended for deeper or prolonged immersion; for that, specify IP68, where the manufacturer defines a greater tested depth and duration.
