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 Mundra, Gujarat. At a liquid terminal with many tanks, plus an LNG terminal, explosion-proof is a casual term. Pumps and electrical gear may be flameproof Ex d, while a handheld on tank farm and jetty rounds relies on intrinsic safety. Crude, chemicals and edible oils pose different hazards.
