Intrinsically Safe Mobile Phones — ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 Certified
Infinity EX supplies
intrinsically safe mobile phones certified for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 classified explosive atmospheres across the world’s most demanding industrial environments. Every device carries full ATEX certification — independently tested and verified by an accredited Notified Body — ensuring safe operation in the presence of flammable gases, vapours and combustible dusts.What Makes a Mobile Phone Explosion-Proof?Explosion-proof and intrinsically safe are the two core protection concepts applied to hazardous area mobile phones.
Intrinsic safety (Ex ia / Ex ib) limits the electrical energy within the device at the component level, preventing any spark, arc or surface temperature capable of igniting a classified atmosphere. This is not a protective housing but an engineered electrical design verified against IEC 60079-11. Every Infinity EX intrinsically safe mobile phones carries Ex ia or Ex ib marking confirmed by Notified Body certification.Industry ApplicationsDemand for intrinsically safe mobile phones is driven primarily by the oil and gas, pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing industries where Zone 1 and Zone 2 classified areas are present in everyday operations. Applications include:Oil & Gas Production:Upstream wellsites, drilling platforms, offshore installations and pipeline operations.Refineries & Petrochemical Plants:Process units, tank farms, loading bays and compressor stations where flammable vapours are routinely present.Chemical Manufacturing:Solvent handling, reaction vessels and filling operations in classified process areas.Mining:Gassy underground mines (Coal Group I) and surface mineral processing operations.Pharmaceutical Production:Solvent-based manufacturing areas classified under ATEX Zone 1 or Zone 2.Power Generation:Gas turbine enclosures, fuel gas handling and LNG terminal operations.Hazardous Area Compliance — ATEXAll intrinsically safe mobile phones supplied by Infinity EX carry internationally accepted hazardous area certifications:ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU:The European standard for equipment in explosive atmospheres. Equipment Group II, Category 1G / 2G for Zone 1 and Zone 2.ATEX:The international equivalent, recognised globally in oil and gas project specifications, including outside the EU.Zone Classification:Zone 1 (explosive gas atmosphere likely under normal operation), Zone 2 (occasional explosive atmosphere), Zone 21 and Zone 22 for dust hazards.Temperature Classification:T3, T4 or T5 rated to prevent surface temperatures that could ignite the specific process atmosphere.IP Rating:IP68 dust-tight and water-submersion resistant for harsh outdoor and industrial field environments.Key Product AdvantagesPush-to-Talk (PTT):Instant group voice communication for plant-wide and site-wide team coordination.Android OS:Run enterprise apps, permit-to-work systems, asset management and inspection tools.MIL-STD-810G Rugged:Independently certified for drop, vibration, shock and extreme temperature resistance.Extended Battery:4,000–6,000 mAh for full 12-hour operational shifts.Sunlight-Readable Display:High-brightness screen for outdoor and high-ambient-light environments.NFC & Barcode Scanner:Asset tagging, inspection rounds and workflow scanning support.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the difference between explosion-proof and intrinsically safe mobile phones?Explosion-proof (Ex d) means the device enclosure can contain an internal explosion without igniting the surrounding atmosphere. Intrinsically safe (Ex ia/ib) means the electrical energy within the device is limited so it cannot produce a spark or temperature capable of ignition. Most modern ATEX mobile phones use the intrinsically safe concept, which allows for a lighter and more ergonomic device design suitable for long shifts in classified zones.Can I use a standard smartphone in a Zone 1 or Zone 2 area?No. Standard commercial smartphones are not permitted in Zone 1 or Zone 2 classified areas. Only devices carrying valid ATEX certification for the relevant zone may be operated in these areas. Using an uncertified device creates a genuine ignition risk and violates both site HSE regulations and applicable law under the ATEX Directive.What documentation does Infinity EX provide with each device?Every Infinity EX intrinsically safe mobile phones is supplied with the original ATEX certificate, EU Declaration of Conformity, ATEX certificate (where applicable), full conditions of safe use documentation, and the complete Ex marking details. This documentation is essential for permit-to-work systems, HSE compliance audits and regulatory inspections.
