IPX8 is a water protection standard used for electronic devices. The letter "I" represents protection against solid objects, while the letter "P" represents protection against water. The "X" indicates that protection against solid objects is not specified.

This standard is used to determine the level of water protection of a device. IPX8 is a very strict standard, requiring the device to be waterproof to a depth of 1 meter for a minimum of 30 minutes. This standard is especially important for electronic devices that may be used in wet environments, such as smartphones, tablets, cameras, smartwatches, and music players.

It is important to note that even if a device is rated IPX8, it does not mean that it is completely waterproof in all situations. The IPX8 rating is tested under controlled laboratory conditions and does not guarantee that the device is protected against water in all situations.

It is also important to consider other factors that can affect the water resistance of a device, such as the duration of immersion, water temperature, and water pressure. All of these factors are specified depending on the manufacturer.

If you are looking for a waterproof bag, it is important to check if the bag is IPX8 certified. This means that the bag is designed to protect your device against continuous immersion in water beyond one meter deep. The IPX8 standard thus guarantees optimal waterproofing.

However, it is important to note that the IPX8 certification does not guarantee that the waterproof bag will protect your device against all types of water or liquids, or against shocks or falls. That is why you must choose a quality waterproof bag and follow the manufacturer's instructions for use to avoid any damage to your belongings.
