The manufacturer of the equipment should beconsulted to determine the degrees of protection available and the parts of equipment towhich the stated degree of protection applies.The adoption of this classification system,wherever possible,will promote uniformity inmethods of describing the protection provided by the enclosure and in the tests to prove thevarious degrees of protection.
