Quite apart from the terminology/vocabulary, one has to wonder where on earth that bizarre (and clearly incorrect) version of the IP coding system came from - it defies belief that the author could have simply 'made it up'!It's strange how they then go on to talk about protection against ingress....

Quite so. I suppose my initial comment of "very OTT" was really understating the craziness!The only thing I can think that has been assessed as being wrong is the fact it's under a sink, which is not a problem. ... To deem it a code 1 is outrageous ...
I thought the "Institution of Mechanical Engineers" was a respected organisation it seems odd they have allowed this to appear in there magazine?
But look at E&T and the article on books or screen does not seem to have much to do with engineering or technology.
Wiring Matters has also from time to time had what I would consider errors. But in the main even rather dated articles like the "Electrical Installations outdoors : A supply to a detached outbuilding" still has useful advice even if published in Autumn 2005.
I wondered why the IEE became IET and dropped the "Electrical" in the title now I see why clearly the "Institution of Mechanical Engineers" has lost it's direction.
