General purpose enclosures are units that are designed to accommodate a wide variety of items for secure and safe storage. They are often used for the protection of electronics equipment and often are compliant to IP, fire resistance and corrosion-resistant, dependant on what is being stored and where it is being stored. These enclosures are such versatile units, they can be used for practically any storage application, they can be wall-mounted if needed and they can be made from a wide variety of materials like aluminium, ABS, fibreglass and much more.

Most common applications include:
• Installation terminals
• Electronic components
• Mechanical engineering
• Food industry
• Chemical industry
• Industrial and manufacturing environments

An IP rating classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects (including body parts like hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact and water in electrical enclosures. The first number indicates the protection from solids and the second number is the protection from liquids.

This enclosure has an IP66 rating and offers the enclosure total protection from dust and debris and permits limited water and liquid ingress. This unit could be used outside, however regular checks are advised to ensure the enclosure still protects up to standard.

The ATEX directive consists of two EU directives describing what equipment and work space is allowed in an environment with an explosive atmosphere.
