Certification Standards

To guarantee safety in explosive atmospheres, standard protective gear is not enough. Our phone cases are rigorously tested and certified to meet global safety regulations for hazardous locations.

ATEX Directive Explained

The ATEX directive is a strict European certification standard for equipment used in explosive atmospheres. An ATEX-certified phone case ensures that the device has been tested against rigorous parameters to prevent any ignition source in Zones 1, 2, 21, or 22.

UL Class I Div 2 Requirements

In North America, the Class I Division 2 classification applies to facilities where volatile flammable liquids or gases are handled, but are normally confined within closed systems. Our Class I Div 2 certified cases ensure your phone remains completely safe and compliant during abnormal conditions or accidental ruptures in these specific zones.

Top Models & Key Features

We carry specialized intrinsically safe cases for the leading smartphone brands, ensuring you don’t have to sacrifice modern technology for workplace safety. You can pair these with certified models like the Smart-Ex 03 DZ1 or the BARTEC SP9EX1 5G Smartphone for full compliance.

Rugged Design & Materials

Built from industrial-grade, anti-static materials, these cases offer superior drop protection, shock absorption, and resistance to harsh chemicals. They are designed to withstand the physical demands of harsh industrial environments while maintaining a secure grip.

Battery & Signal Integrity

A critical feature of these cases is their ability to manage the device’s thermal output. They ensure your phone’s battery temperature remains strictly controlled without interfering with cellular, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth signals, keeping you connected when it matters most.

How to Choose the Right Case

Selecting the correct intrinsically safe case depends on your specific workplace requirements. First, identify your facility’s hazard classification (such as ATEX Zone 2 or Class I Div 2) to ensure compliance. Next, match the case precisely to your smartphone’s make and model, as a perfect fit is required to maintain the safety certification. Finally, consider additional needs like IP68 water and dust resistance for outdoor operations.

FAQs

• Can I charge my phone inside the hazardous area if it has the case on?
  No. Even with an intrinsically safe case, you must never charge your device, open the case, or connect peripherals while inside a designated hazardous zone. Always return to a known safe area before doing so.
• Do these cases make my regular smartphone intrinsically safe?
  Yes, combining an approved, certified intrinsically safe case with the specific smartphone model it was tested for creates a compliant solution for the designated hazardous zones mentioned in its certification.
