roiskevedenkestäviä

Roiskevedenkestäviä is a Finnish term that translates to "splash-proof" or "water-resistant" in English. It describes a level of protection against water ingress, commonly found in electronic devices, outdoor equipment, and apparel. This designation indicates that a product can withstand exposure to splashing water from any direction without sustaining damage. It is important to note that roiskevedenkestäviä does not imply complete waterproofing.

Devices or items designated as roiskevedenkestäviä are typically tested to meet specific industry standards, such as the Ingress Protection (IP) rating system. For example, a product with an IPX4 rating is considered splash-proof. This means it has been tested to withstand water projected at it from a nozzle for a specific duration without detrimental effects. However, it is not designed for submersion in water.

Common applications for roiskevedenkestäviä products include smartphones, smartwatches, portable speakers, outdoor lighting, and certain types of clothing. Consumers often look for this feature to ensure their devices can be used in everyday situations where light rain or accidental spills might occur. While offering a degree of protection, users should still exercise caution and avoid prolonged or direct exposure to water, as this can still lead to damage. The term emphasizes a resistance to splashes rather than a guarantee of submersion safety.
