Do you mean JIS7?  If so, yes the IPX and JIS standards appear to be the same.

There is a JIS8 as well - the unit can withstand continuous submersion for a 
specified time and depth.  For cameras and radios, JIS8 usually means 1.5m for 
30 min, though some are rated to 3-5m for that time.

I've always understood the IPX/JIS standards to be accumulative - each standard 
to include all lower ones.
