IP09K
Last updated: Aug 9, 2026The IP09K rating offers no protection against solid objects and resistance to high-pressure (8–10 MPa), high-temperature (80 °C) water jets. It is an IEC 60529 ingress protection code combining first-digit (solid) level 0 with second-digit (liquid) level 9K.

What IP09K means
The IP code IP09K is part of the IEC 60529 standard for ingress protection. The first characteristic numeral, 0, indicates the level of protection against solid objects and access to hazardous parts. The second numeral, 9K, indicates the level of protection against the ingress of water. Together, these digits describe exactly what an enclosure rated IP09K can withstand.
For solid protection, the digit 0 means the enclosure is no protection. No special protection against contact or ingress of solid foreign objects. The test method is no test required.
For liquid protection, the digit 9K means the enclosure resists high-pressure, high-temp water jets. Protection against high-pressure and high-temperature water jets. Water projected in powerful jets against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects. Often designated IPx9K. The test procedure is fan-shaped 80° nozzle at 14–16 l/min, 8–10 mpa pressure, water temperature 80 °c; enclosure on turntable hit at 0°, 30°, 60°, 90° for 30 seconds each.
IP09K is a valid IEC 60529 combination. When specifying IP09K for a project, confirm the rating certificate from the manufacturer and consider that seals degrade over time with temperature cycling, UV exposure, and chemical contact.
