‌1. European regulations are hidden secrets‌

The new EU regulations require that public equipment must pass the mandatory IP protection test included in the CE certification

The five Nordic countries have clearly stipulated that the waterproof level of outdoor equipment must not be lower than IPX6 (rainstorm level protection)

2. Climate adaptation is the life and death line‌

IP54 is selected as the starting point for the Mediterranean coast (splash-proof + basic dustproof)

IP65 is a must in the Alps (anti-snow penetration + anti-hail impact)

IP6X is strongly recommended in Eastern European industrial areas (over 2000 hours of trouble-free operation in dusty environments)

3. Supply chain transparency verification‌

Require manufacturers to provide a 72-hour salt spray test report from a third-party laboratory (anti-coastal corrosion)

Beware of the "IP68 submersible" word game (specific water depth/duration parameters must be marked)

4. Technical documents become bargaining chips‌

German distributors require modular structure disassembly diagrams (to facilitate rapid customs inspections)

French customers must check temperature compensation technical documents (-20℃ cold start measured data)

5. After-sales response war escalates ‌

The Polish market requires localized spare parts warehouses (72-hour fault response clause)

The Benelux countries tend to purchase models that support hot-swap design (to avoid returning the entire machine to the factory)
