But an IP30 wall-mount enclosure isnot suitable.b the degrees of protection indicated in this catalogue are valid for the enclosures aspresented. However, the indicated degree of protection is guaranteed only when theinstallation and device mounting are carried out in accordance with professionalstandards.Standard IEC 62262 defines an IK code characterising the capacity of products toresist mechanical impacts from all sides.IK codeImpact energy (joules)01 0.1402 0.203 0.3504 0.505 0.706 107 208 509 1010 20RecommendationIn terms of the risks of impacts, selection of the IK code can be summed up asindicated below.SiteRecommended IKNo risk of major impact Technical rooms 07Significant risk of impact that Hallways08 (switchboard with door)can damage devicesMaximum risk of impact that candamage the switchboardWorkshops 10157
