Intrinsically Safe Mobile Computing In The Paint Shop
Summary
In many scenarios electronic equipment used in these areas, including any computing devices, must be officially certified “intrinsically safe”. Implementing measures such as grounding and bonding of equipment, conducting regular static electricity checks, and using anti-static materials can help mitigate this risk. Certification typically involves testing and compliance with relevant safety standards such as ATEX (Europe) or UL (United States). These may include: • Limiting energy levels: The computer is designed to operate at low voltages and currents to prevent sparking. Mobile computers rated as Intrinsically safe cannot be modified or repaired in the field and would need to be returned to a service centre if they become damaged or cease working.
