IP (Ingress Protection) Ratings

Example: An IP rating of IP-68 would indicate a dust tight device that can withstand total submersion in water

NSF Certifications

NSF Certification	Description of Locations/Use and Commentary	Typical Lighting Applications
Non-Food Zone	Area where direct contact with food products during normal operations would not be expected. Equipment is located outside the normal washdown area. There is a concern that the fixture will add contamination to the protected space or food product (e.g., cleanability–will the finish withstand cleaning, chipping paint, deteriorating paints or finishes, lens impact resistance, lamp breakage, etc.	Kitchens: Food Storage; Dry process area; Damp process areas–no drip possibility
Splash Zone	Area where direct contact with food products during normal operations would not be expected; however, the fixture may be situated such that liquids used in the processing or cleaning procedures, may splash, spill, or otherwise soil– either intentionally or inadvertently–the surface of the fixture. There then is the potential for dripping or draining onto other surfaces or even the process. Since these fixtures are often used in washdown areas. Wet location listing is not suf- ficient. Fixtures must be tested to withstand high pressure hose washdown. The concerns of Non-Food Zone also apply.	Wet or damp process areas; high pressure purging and/or decontamination used in the process; Areas using hose washdown
Food Zone	Area where direct contact with food products is normally expected and surfaces from which the food may drip, drain, or splash back onto surfaces normally in contact with food. Equipment other than lighting fixtures typically require this certification (e.g. work tables cutting boards, others direct contact equipment).	Category not typically used for lighting

NEMA Ratings for Enclosures

Non-hazardous location environmental rating standards

Enclosure Rating	Description
Type 4x	Indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against access to hazardous parts To provide a degree of protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against ingress of solid foreign objects (windblown dust) To provide a degree of protection with respect to harmful effects on the equipment due to the ingress of water (rain, sleet, snow, splashing water, and hose directed water) That provides an additional level of protection against corrosion And that will be undamaged by the external formation of ice on the enclosure

Biosafety Levels

BSL	Description
1	No containment required. Laboratory settings in which personnel work with low-risk microbes that pose little to no threat of infection in healthy adults
2	Containment required. Laboratories that work with agents associated with human diseases that pose a moderate health hazard.
3	High containment required. Laboratory typically includes work on microbes that are either indigenous or exotic, and can cause serious or potentially lethal disease through inhalation.
4	Max containment required. Laboratory consists of work with highly dangerous and exotic microbes. Infections caused by these types of microbes are frequently fatal, and come without treatment or vaccines.
