Roiskeenkestävä

Roiskeenkestävä is a Finnish term that translates to "splash-proof" or "splash-resistant" in English. It describes a level of protection offered by products, most commonly electronics and outdoor gear, against liquid splashes. This designation indicates that a device or item can withstand accidental exposure to water that is thrown or sprayed at it, without suffering damage.

The degree of splash resistance can vary and is often defined by specific standards, such as the Ingress Protection (IP) rating system. For example, a product with an IPX4 rating is considered splash-proof, meaning it can resist water splashed from any direction. A higher rating, such as IPX5, would offer protection against water jets, while IPX7 and IPX8 indicate submersion capabilities.

Roiskeenkestävä is a useful feature for items used in environments where they might come into contact with water, such as kitchens, bathrooms, or during outdoor activities like hiking or camping. It provides a degree of reassurance that the product will not be immediately rendered unusable by minor water exposure. However, it is important to note that roiskeenkestävä does not typically imply complete waterproofing or the ability to withstand immersion in water.
