Intrinsic safety is a design technique applied to electrical equipment and wiring for hazardous locations. The technique is based on limiting energy, electrical and thermal, to a level below that required to ignite a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture.
Intrinsic safety products are mainly used in Structural Firefighting or Mining applications – but it’s best to check with your station manager or superior to see if it’s a requirement for you.
Check to see if the product you’re looking at on Pac Fire Online is intrinsic safety on the “Additional Information” tab on each product.
