IPX8 waterproof performance
IPX is a code that indicates the waterproofness defined by international standards. IPX8 is a waterproof performance that does not get water inside even if it is submerged in water for a certain period of time, and can be operated underwater for the same period of time. Not only does it not get water in from wave spray, but it will not get water even if you turn the handle underwater.
