RoHS, TR, WR and IP Meanings General Technical DataTechnical DataRoHS, TR, WR and IP MeaningsRoHSWRRoHS - Restriction of Hazardous SubstancesThis EU Directive, 2002/95/EC, prohibits the use of mercury, cadmium, lead, chromium VI, PBB (polybrominatedbiphenyls) and PBDE (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) in certain electrical products. The regulatorymaximums for these items are 0.01%, by weight, for cadmium and 0.1%, by weight, for the other five itemsin each "homogenous unit" contained within that product. There are certain exemptions available from theRoHS requirements.Tamper Resistant ReceptaclesPer the 2008 National Electrical Code (NEC ® ) Article 406.11; All 125 volt, 15 and 20 amp receptacles indwelling units shall be a listed tamper resistant type. Dwelling units are defined as a single unit, providingcomplete and independent living facilities for one or more persons, including permanent provisions forliving, sleeping, cooking and sanitation. Listed devices are required to have a TR marking on the facevisible when installed without a cover plate.Weather Resistant ReceptaclesPer the 2008 National Electrical Code (NEC ® ) Article 406.8; All 125 and 250 volt, 15 and 20 amp non-lockingreceptacles for use in damp or wet locations shall be a listed weather resistant type. Listed devices arerequired to have a WR marking on the face visible when installed.Elements of the IP Code and Their Meanings - In Accordance with Standard IEC 60529IP Suitability Ratings are a system for classifying the degree of ingress protection provided by enclosuresof electrical equipment. Generally, The higher the number, the greater the degree of protection; they applyONLY to properly installed equipment.Example: IP67 = Ingress Protection/Dust-Tight/Temporary ImmersionCode LettersIngress ProtectionIPThe numerals stand for the following:1. First Numeral: degree of protection forpersons against access to hazardousparts inside the enclosure and/or againstthe ingress of solid foreign objects.2. Second Numeral: degree of protectionof equipment inside enclosures againstdamage from the ingress of water.Note: ≥ Denotes greater than or equal to.Meaning for the Protection of EquipmentFirst NumberAgainst Ingress ofSolid Foreign Objects0 – Non-protected1 ≥ 50mm diameter2 ≥ 12.5mm diameter3 ≥ 2.5mm diameter4 ≥ 1.0mm diameter5 – Dust-protected6 – Dust-tightSecond NumberAgainst Ingress of Waterwith Harmful Effects0 – Non-protected1 – Vertically dripping2 – Dripping (15 Tilted)3 – Spraying4 – Splashing5 – Jetting6 – Power jetting7 – Temporary immersion8 – Continuous immersionX-8 www.hubbell-wiring.comDimensions in Inches (mm)
