IP stands for Ingress-Protection, which basically means it is a measure of protection offered by an electrical device against solids( dirt, dust) and liquids (water, coffee, etc).

The first digit “6” signifies protection from dust,dirt, or other particles. Getting a “6” means that it is essentially dustproof.

The second digit “8” signifies protection from water and protection from water pressure. Getting an “8” means it can be fully immersed in water of 1 meter and above.
