Ua wehewehe ʻia nā pae palekana no nā keʻena hoʻolaha e like me nā kūlana International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) a hōʻike mua i ka pale o nā mea hana i nā mea ʻē aʻe, ka wai, a me ka lepo. Hōʻike pinepine ʻia kēia mau pae e kahi code IP (Ingress Protection), kahi i kū ai ʻo "I" no ka pale ʻana i nā mea ʻē aʻe a ʻo "P" ke kū nei no ka pale ʻana i ka wai.
Aia nā pae palekana maʻamau:
1. IP20: Hāʻawi i ka pale wale i nā mea ʻē aʻe paʻa i ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o 12.5 mm a ʻaʻole wai wai.
2. IP21: Hāʻawi i ka pale mai nā mea ʻē aʻe paʻa i ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o 12.5 mm a ua pale pū ʻia i nā hāʻule ʻana o ka wai.
3. IP22: Hāʻawi i ka pale ʻana i nā mea ʻē aʻe paʻa i ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o 12.5 mm a ua pale pū ʻia i nā hāʻule wai ma kahi kihi a hiki i 15 degere mai ke kūpaʻa.
4. IP23: Hāʻawi i ka pale mai nā mea ʻē aʻe paʻa i ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o 2.5 mm a ua pale pū ʻia mai nā hāʻule wai ma kahi kihi a hiki i 60 degere mai ke kūpaʻa.
5. IP44: Pale ʻia mai nā mea ʻē aʻe i ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o 1 mm a me ka wai paʻi.
6. IP54: Pale ʻia i nā mea ʻē aʻe, lepo, a me ka wai paʻi.
7. IP55: Pale ʻia mai nā mea ʻē aʻe, lepo, a me ka wai paʻi.
8. IP65: Pale ʻia mai nā mea ʻē aʻe paʻa, ka lepo, a me nā mokulele wai haʻahaʻa.
9. IP66: Pale ʻia mai nā mea ʻē aʻe paʻa, ka lepo, a me -kiʻekiʻe puʻe wai.
10. IP67: Pale ʻia mai nā mea ʻē aʻe, lepo, a me ka hoʻolulu manawaleʻa i ka wai.
11. IP68: Pale ʻia mai nā mea ʻē aʻe, lepo, a me ka hoʻolulu lōʻihi ʻana i ka wai. ʻO ka lōʻihi kiko'ī o ka palekana i kuhikuhiʻia e ka mea hana.
