The term · explosion proof
What “explosion proof” means for a smartphone
“Explosion proof” is the phrase most buyers use for equipment that may be taken into a classified hazardous area. Strictly, it covers several protection concepts: a flameproof enclosure (Ex d) contains an internal explosion, while intrinsic safety (Ex i) limits electrical energy so that an ignition cannot start. Phones are normally intrinsically safe, because a flameproof handset would be too heavy to carry all shift.
The IS-04Z1 uses intrinsic safety, with a marking target of Ex ib IIC T4, and is designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21. It is pre-launch, certification is in progress and no certificate has been issued.
In Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. In a drug plant the phrase explosion-proof is usually shorthand for equipment that is safe in solvent areas. Flameproof Ex d enclosures contain an internal explosion, whereas intrinsic safety limits energy so no ignition occurs. For a handheld carried through dispensing and reactor rooms, the second concept is the relevant one.
