Pharmweigh products are built to the highest possible standard.
One absolute & uncontroversial standard without compromise is Ingress Protection (IP Rating).
IP ( Ingress Protection ) RATING
The IP Rating number is an international standard which specifically defines the level of environmental protection required to seal and protect electronic equipment. The ratings refer to specific tests.
The IP number is made up of two components as follows : IPxx.
The first number refers to the protection against solid objects, the second against liquids. The higher the number the better the protection.
