NEMA ICS-16-2001
Industrial Control and Systems
Motion/Position Conrol Motors, Controls, and Feedback Devices
The typical nomenclature characterized with "IP XX" where XX are the first and second characters for the degree of protection are per IEC60529. This can be found on pages 60 thru 65 of the above document.

The March 1999 issue of Control Engineering (http://www.manufacturing.net/ctl/) has a "Back to Basics" article entitled "Comparing enclosure standards." Access is free, but you need to fill out a free subscription qualifying form. The easiest way to find the article seems to be to search the title. The article is based on Hoffman and http://www.rittal.com.

One thing to remember is that (e.g.) IP56 is not necessarily inferior to IP65 - the two digits are independent ratings of two different parameters, so a 'higher' number is not always better. Strictly the examples would be IP five-six and IP six-five, not fifty-six and sixty-five.
