What does Intrinsically Safe Mean?
Intrinsic Safety (IS) is a protection technique for safe operation of electrical equipment in hazardous areas by limiting the energy, electrical and thermal, available for ignition. It refers to equipment and wiring that are designed to operate safely in hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present. The idea behind intrinsic safety is preventing ignition by ensuring that the electrical energy in a circuit is kept below the level that could cause a spark or excessive heat. To prevent explosion, you need intrinsically safe equipment in hazardous areas.

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.
