IP stands for ingress protection. This rating pertains to what size of particle or type and type/strength of water/liquid immersion and duration of exposure an equipment enclosure can be subjected to prior to being compromised.

EEX refers to a level of an equipment enclosure being 'explosion proof'.

The key to this distinction is that equipment that is rated as explosion proof has some method of suppressing sparks or otherwise cooling any process contained in it to ensure that any flamable gas in the environment outside is not ignited. Flamable gas that is in the enclosure may ignite but the EEX enclosure prevents that flame/heat from affecting any flamable gas outside. This is not so with IP ratings.

IP ratings are not concerned with temperature/sparking/flashpoints but with excluding dirt, dust, vapor and water.

Something may be IP rated and not EEX rated; conversely, something EEX is usually IP rated.
