TC 70 - Degrees of protection provided by enclosures
To prepare international standards including appropriate test methods for degrees of protection provided by enclosures against ingress of solid foreign objects and water and against access to dangerous parts. Such degrees should be expressed by the IP Code. Standardization of access probes for use in IEC Publications. NOTE: There is no intention on the part of TC 70 to establish test methods if they are already available in IEC Publications, e.g. Publication 68. Horizontal Safety Function: Degrees of protection provided by the enclosures against ingress of foreign solid bodies, water and access to live or moving parts and standardization of accessibility probes. Such degrees should be expressed by the IP classification system.
Degrés de protection procurés par les enveloppes
Etablir des normes internationales contenant les méthodes d'essais appropriées pour les degrés de protection procurés par les enveloppes contre la pénétration d'objets solides étrangers et d'eau et contre l'accès à des parties dangereuses. Ces degrés seront exprimés par le code IP. Normalisation des sondes d'accès à utiliser dans les Publications de la CEI. NOTE: Le CE 70 n'a pas l'intention d'établir des méthodes d'essais si elles sont déjà disponibles dans des Publications de la CEI, telle que la Publication 68. Fonction horizontale de sécurité: Degrés de protection procurés par les enveloppes contre la pénétration de corps étrangers solides et d'eau et contre l'accès aux parties actives ou en mouvement, y compris la normalisation des sondes d'accessibilité. Ces degrés seront exprimés par le système de classification IP.

Refers to the classification of the degrees of protection provided by enclosures against external mechanical impacts when the rated voltage of the protected equipment is not greater than 72,5 kV. This standard is only applicable to enclosures of equipment where the specific standard establishes degrees of protection of the enclosure against mechanical impacts (expressed in this standard as "impacts").

Specifies details and dimensions of test probes intended to verify the protection provided by enclosures with regard to: - protection of persons against access to hazardous parts inside the enclosure; - protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against ingress of solid foreign objects. This International Standard brings together in publication object probes and access probes currently specified in other standards, together with any new probes. Has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104. The contents of the corrigendum of January 2003 have been included in this copy.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.
A Technical Committee (TC) in IEC is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
