Definitions related to water resistance
We conduct rigorous testing on our devices to ensure that they withstand the activities for which they are designed. You should be aware that even when a device is above the depth limit for which it is designed, it can still experience water infiltration if it is used during an activity that exerts on the device. pressure above its resistance level.
| Water resistance | Definition | Adapted to |
|---|---|---|
| IP65 | Resists dust ingress (dust tight); vacuum test. Protection against low pressure water jets. Protection against water jets from a lance (6.3 mm at a flow rate of 12.5 L/min and a pressure of 30 kN/m2 for 3 minutes, at a distance of 3 metres) under any angle | Light splash, rain, outdoor use in rough sea conditions |
| IP67 | Dust proof. Resists dust ingress, vacuum. Withstands accidental immersion in one meter of water for 30 minutes | Splashing, rain or snow, dusty environments, shower |
| IPX6 | Protection against violent jets of water. Protection against water jets with a lance (12.5 mm at a flow rate of 100 L/min and a pressure of 100 kN/m2 for 3 minutes, at a distance of 3 meters) from any angle | Heavy spray, driving rain, boat washing, outdoor use in rough seas |
| IPX7 | Withstands accidental immersion in one meter of water for 30 minutes | Splashing, rain or snow, shower |
| IPX8 | Can be submerged more than 1 meter; exact depth to be defined by the manufacturer. The depth is defined uniquely for each product and is listed on the product page | Temporary immersion |
| 1 ATM | Withstands pressure equivalent to 10 meters deep. | Splashing, rain or snow, shower |
| 3 ATM | Withstands pressure equivalent to 30 meters deep. | Splashing, rain or snow, shower, diving |
| 5 ATM, Nage | Withstands pressure equivalent to 50 meters deep. | Splashing, Rain or Snow, Showering, Swimming, Diving, Snorkeling |
| 10 ATM | Withstands pressure equivalent to 100 meters deep. | Splashing, rain or snow, shower, swimming, diving, snorkeling, speed water sports |
| Diving (up to indicated depth in meters) | Tested according to EN13319 standard for diving activities. | Scuba diving, snorkeling and speed water sports |
