BUYING GUIDE / PROTECTION RECORD
Read the site.Then read the IP record.
For wholesale and project buying, an outdoor lighting IP rating belongs to an exact model record. Start with the installation environment, then confirm the product, listed value and evidence scope.
Open the protection deskBEFORE READING THE NUMBER
Describe the exposure around the product.
The same product family can contain different constructions and records. A useful request describes the real position instead of asking for a family-wide waterproof claim.
PROTECTION BOUNDARY
One sequence keeps the claim attached to the product.
Move from the environment to a named model and its current record. Request additional evidence only when the market or project needs it.
INTERACTIVE PROTECTION DESK
Check one boundary at a time.
Select each gate to see what the buyer provides, what the current product record can show and what still needs confirmation.

GATE 01 / SITE EXPOSURE
What will surround the installed light?
Record the mounting position, surrounding exposure, cleaning routine and access conditions before selecting a protection record.
- BUYER INPUT
- Site images and intended position
- RECORD USE
- Defines which model record must be reviewed
- DO NOT ASSUME
- A scene image is a formal performance result
VERIFIED MODEL REGISTER
Outdoor lighting IP ratings stay with the named model.
These examples come from current YMG product or brochure records. They demonstrate record discipline, not a performance ranking and not a family-wide promise.
Important: do not copy a value from one model to another. Confirm the selected product and current record in the quotation.
THREE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF EVIDENCE
A photograph, a product record and formal evidence are not interchangeable.
Each level answers a different purchasing question. Keep the boundaries visible so the buyer and supplier approve the same product basis.

Useful for focused questions. It is not a formal IP test result.

Use the exact model and current specification as the comparison basis.

Ask what applicable report or document can be confirmed for the selected order.
PROTECTION RECORD REQUEST
Send the site, model and required scope together.
This gives YMG a specific record to review instead of a general waterproof request.
Start a project briefREQUEST EXAMPLEWe are reviewing [model / product family] for [installation position] in [market]. The site exposure is [describe and attach images]. Please confirm the current IP record for the selected model and which applicable evidence can be reviewed for this order.
CONFIRMATION BOUNDARY
The guide organizes the request. It does not replace product review.
Final suitability depends on the selected model, configuration, installation conditions, destination market and the records confirmed for the order.
