IP65C
First number: 6 - dust tight
Second number: 5 - protection from water jets
Why is here additional letter "C". This letter C means - Against acces to hazardous part with Tool. But, the enclosure is already dust tight "6", the dust is smaller then tool, so why this letter C is needed?
 
This document explains the additional codes well

Google; ip code additional letters and it's the top result (in case PDF doesn't work)

The additional letters are optional and often not used unless for a specific area where it is required.

The codes may not always compliment each other.
