The C22 devices are engineered for harsh industrial environments with an IP67 rating on most front elements. Many standard operators also have more stringent IP69K ratings, protecting them from submersion and high pressure and temperature wash-down.

Standard C22 pushbuttons have a mechanical lifespan of five million operations and can operate in temperatures between -25 and 70°C. The pushbuttons meet Underwriters Laboratories , Canadian Standards Association, and International Electrotechnical Commission standards.
