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. In signal and control circuits that can operate with low currents and voltages, the intrinsic safety approach simplifies circuits and reduces installation cost ...
Category 1 is reserved for samples which self-heat in small quantities (25 mm 2), and all other self-heating substances that only heat in large quantities are listed under Category 2. Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases are categorized from 1 to 3 based on the ignitability of the gas emitted.
