The term · intrinsically safe

What “intrinsically safe” means for a smartphone

Intrinsic safety limits the electrical and thermal energy in a circuit so that neither a spark nor a hot surface can ignite a gas or dust atmosphere, even when a fault occurs. The ib level, used for Zone 1, tolerates one fault. It is the usual way to make a handheld device that a worker carries continuously through a hazardous area.

The IS-04Z1 is designed on this principle for Zone 1 and Zone 21 (marking target II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4). Intrinsic safety is a design basis, not a certificate: certification is in progress and none has been issued yet.

In Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. Rounds in granulation, coating and solvent dispensing rooms are short, repeated and often logged on a device. A handheld that is intrinsically safe by design removes the need to leave the room to record a reading or photograph a fault. SAMS designed the IS-04Z1 for this style of work, subject to certification still in progress.
