IP rating for roof panel

Hello,

In a commercial office building there is a roof panel which mainly feeds the condenser units. The IP rating of the panel is 55. 


Usually I have come across IP65 panels when they re installed outdoors.


While I understand the difference between the two, I cannot find any regulations that would require the panel to be IP65 instead of IP55. 


Thus, as long as the panel supplier confirms that the panel is suitable for use outdoors I believe it should be fine?


For the record, there is no specific requirement stated in the consultant specifications.


It would be appreciated if you could share your thoughts


Thank you
