Can IPX8 Devices Be Submerged? Understanding Waterproof Ratings

Yes, IPX8-rated devices can be submerged underwater. The "8" in IPX8 signifies the highest level of water resistance for electronic gadgets, following the IEC 60529 standard. This means they're built to withstand prolonged immersion in water.

 

Manufacturers specify the exact conditions for submersion to earn an IPX8 rating, including depth and time. These tests are tougher than those for IPX7 (which handles 1 meter deep for 30 minutes).

 

An IPX8 rating assures that the device should function normally after being submerged under specified conditions. However, it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for usage and submersion to maintain the IPX8 rating, ensuring safety and performance.

 

In summary, IPX8-rated devices are designed to be submerged underwater and perform well when used as directed by the manufacturer.
