Are Cell Phones Intrinsically Safe

Standard smartphones and mobile devices can generate heat, sparks, or static discharges, which may ignite flammable gases, dust, or vapors in hazardous environments. They are not intrinsically safe and they lack specialized technical features that are non-negotiable for safety in potentially hazardous areas. Most importantly, they have no hazardous area certification and, therefore, are unable to comply with safety standards like ATEX, IECEx, NEC 500, or CEC 505, which is a requirement for the use of electrical equipment in hazardous areas.
