equipment suitable for (continuous) immersion
Explanation:
immersion Beyond 1 m

Da Wikipedia

The equipment is suitable for continuous immersion in water under conditions which shall be specified by the manufacturer. Normally, this will mean that the equipment is hermetically sealed. However, with certain types of equipment, it can mean that water can enter but only in such a manner that it produces no harmful effects.
