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.
