What is Intrinsically Safe Equipment?
Intrinsically safe equipment is specifically designed to limit electrical and thermal energy that could otherwise cause an ignition. These specialised devices are engineered to limit electrical and thermal energy to levels below what could trigger an explosion in hazardous environments containing flammable gases, vapours, or other combustible materials.
When is Intrinsically Safe Equipment Required in the UK?
In the United Kingdom, intrinsically safe equipment is mandatory in environments with potentially explosive atmospheres, as defined by the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002. These regulations apply to certain industries (such as mining) and any workplace where flammable gases or vapours are present.
