What does IP66 mean?

IP rating is known as – Ingress Protection or International Protection Rating
Ratings are defined to the International Standard EN 60529 (British BS EN 60529:1992, European IEC 60529:1989)
The standards are used to define the level of sealing effectiveness of electrical enclosures.
Standard denotes the protection against foreign bodies like dirt and water.
The rating consists of the letters IP followed then by 2 digits/numbers (IP 66)
The first number stands for the level of protection provided against solid bodies.
The second number describes the degree of protection for the equipment within the enclosure from water.
Example IP66 = First number (6) Solids
Example IP66 = Second number (6) Liquids
