So the IP68 ratings are on a scale of 1-9 for dust and water respectively.
So the 6 is for dust and particulates and the 8 is for water.
With a rating of IP68, which is an industry standard, it is actually better at keeping out water then dust and particulates. I have no idea what the deal is with rice particulate, but it's obviously not great to get into charging ports and the like.
It's worth noting that Samsung shares the exact same rating and would also struggle with a bowl of rice.
