Identify the claim precisely
IP codes describe enclosure protection under a defined classification system. A general “waterproof” label is less useful than a specific rating supported by relevant documentation. Ask which product configuration and test conditions the claim covers.
Match documents to the product
Compare model identifiers, enclosure design and charging-port covers with the supplied sample. Ask whether the report relates to the complete lamp or only a component. A rating shown on a similar model should not automatically be applied to the product you are ordering.
State the intended exposure
Explain whether the customer expects occasional outdoor use, cleaning or another environment. Ask the supplier to confirm suitability and limitations in writing. Do not turn a splash-related claim into a promise of underwater use.
Use accurate product-page wording
Publish the verified rating and relevant instructions together. If evidence is not available, keep the claim off the listing until it is confirmed. Ask a qualified testing provider to assess requirements where the intended environment demands it.
Explore relevant products
Compare the available models and confirm specifications for the exact configuration.
