| Enclosure IP code | GB/T 4208 specifies the IP Code for enclosure protection. The first code numeral relates to access and solid-object ingress; the second relates to water ingress. | Product-specific test report identifying the tested model, enclosure configuration, IP code, test method, laboratory, and report date. | Confirm that the report covers the offered product and its production configuration. Do not treat a rating from a different model as evidence. |
| Water-ingress rating | In the IP Code, IPX4 indicates protection against splashing water; IPX5 indicates protection against water jets; IPX7 indicates protection under defined temporary-immersion test conditions. | Test report showing the exact water-test level and the applicable GB/T 4208 edition. | Set the required rating according to the intended cleaning and operating conditions. IPX7 does not automatically demonstrate compliance with IPX5 jet testing. |
| Dust protection, if required | IP5X denotes dust-protected performance; IP6X denotes dust-tight performance under the standard's test conditions. | IP test report showing the complete IP code, including the first numeral, if dust exposure is relevant to use. | Assess the complete code rather than relying on a water-only designation such as IPX4 or IPX7. |
| Limits of an IP rating | An IP rating describes enclosure protection against specified ingress tests. It does not by itself establish electrical safety, chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, or suitability for every operating condition. | Product specifications and separate test or assessment records relevant to the intended application. | Check application-specific requirements separately; do not use an IP code as a substitute for other product compliance evidence. |
| ISO 9001:2015 quality management system | ISO 9001:2015 sets requirements for a quality management system. It is not a product certification standard and does not, by itself, certify a particular brush or its IP rating. | Current certificate showing the certified legal entity, site, scope, certification body, certificate number, issue and expiry dates, and verification information. | Verify certificate validity with the issuing certification body or its official directory. Confirm that the certified scope and site cover the relevant manufacturing activities. |
| Production-site and model traceability | Supplier documents and test results are useful only when they can be linked to the actual manufacturing site, product model, and configuration being offered. | Factory address, model-specific datasheet, production-control description, and a documented link between the tested sample and the offered product. | Record discrepancies or missing links as items requiring clarification before supplier approval. |
| Supplier-specific results | No named suppliers or independently verified supplier records are provided in this table. | Complete the checks above using current documents supplied for each candidate manufacturer. | Not assessed — verification required |
| Evaluation note: GB/T 4208 IP levels are test-based classifications, not a general guarantee of waterproof performance. Confirm the applicable standard edition, test conditions, product configuration, and intended use before making a purchasing decision. |
