Intrinsically Safe Radio Information
The Intrinsically safe approval unit refers to a product
that has been approved as intrinsically safe by an
approval agency (for example FM Approvals, CSA,
UL, or Cenelec) and certifies that a particular product
meets the Agency's applicable intrinsic safety
standards for specific types of hazardous classified
locations. A portable radio that has been approved for
intrinsic safety will have Approval label attached to the
radio to identify the unit as being Approved for
specified hazardous atmospheres. This label specifies
the hazardous Class/Division/Group along with the
part number of the battery that must be used. The
Intrinsically Safe Approval Label will be located on the
portable radio unit.
Operational Cautions for Intrinsic Safe
Equipment
• DO NOT operate radio communications
equipment in a hazardous atmosphere
unless it is a type especially qualified
(for example, FM, UL, CSA, or
CENELEC approved). An explosion or
fire may result.
