The IP rating scale measures the effectiveness of a components' protection against damage from both moisture and solid objects. If a product has an IP54 (ingress protection) rating, it means that it's protected against contamination from dust and other airborne particles. It also means that the workings of the device are protected from low-pressure water sprays from any direction.
