English translation:degree of protection
Explanation:
Visto che la sigla che segue sembra indicare una misurazione, credo che "degree" sia più indicato di "level".
Per "protezione" avrei anche pensato a "shield", che però è forse troppo specifico non avendo contesto.

Explanation:
Hi Paola and Josie
I have seen this expression translated in many different ways, some of which probably righter than others, however, several years ago I chanced upon a shiny US catalogue of an electrical enclosure manufacturer, in which the expression "protection category" was used throughout. I have therefore used it, to the delight (perhaps) of my customers, ever since. You'll find plenty of hits for it, but I'm not suggesting it's the only solution.
Total Respect
