IP67 Padlock: What It Is and Why It Matters

You've probably seen "IP67" mentioned on electronic products or smart padlocks. But what exactly does it mean?

What is the IP67 standard? IP stands for "Ingress Protection." It is an international standard that indicates the level of resistance of a device against solids and liquids. The number 6 indicates complete protection against dust. The number 7 indicates resistance to immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

Why is this important for a padlock? A padlock is often used outdoors — in the rain, at the beach, in the gym. Without IP67 certification, moisture can damage the electronic components and render the padlock unusable in a few months.

IP67 vs IP65 vs IP68 — what's the difference? IP65 resists water jets but not immersion. IP67 resists immersion up to 1 meter. IP68 resists greater depths. For a smart padlock, IP67 is the ideal standard — robust enough for all daily uses.
