What Is An Intrinsically Safe Torch?
| An intrinsically safe torch is designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres where conventional electrical equipment could create an ignition risk. Certified intrinsically safe lighting is designed so that electrical and thermal energy is controlled within defined limits appropriate to its certification. |
ATEX & IECEx Certification
Check the product certification, equipment category, protection concept and complete Ex marking against the hazardous-area requirements of the installation. |
Hazardous Area Applications
Intrinsically safe torches are used where flammable gases, vapours, mists or combustible dusts may create a potentially explosive atmosphere. |
Correct Equipment Selection
Selection should consider hazardous-area zone, gas or dust group, temperature classification, ingress protection and the lighting performance required for the task. |

ATEX Torch Zones Explained
Zone 0 Torches
For appropriately certified equipment intended for areas where an explosive gas atmosphere is present continuously, for long periods or frequently. |
Zone 1 Torches
For appropriately certified equipment intended for areas where an explosive gas atmosphere is likely to occur occasionally during normal operation. |
Zone 2 Torches
For appropriately certified equipment intended for areas where an explosive gas atmosphere is not likely during normal operation and, if it occurs, exists only for a short period. |
