Intertek, the worldwide leader in providing services such as testing, inspecting and certifying products, has published a new and perspective shifting whitepaper; "Use of Smartphones, PDA's & Tablet Computers in Zone 1 & Zone 2 Hazardous Areas". The new Whitepaper gives you a general overview of safety, risk factors and equipment assessments. It was created and designed in collaboration with ecom's expert and Head of Approvals, Kevin Spence.
With the increased use of mobile devices in hazardous areas enabling an increased efficiency, it is important to shed light on the associated safety and risk implications of these explosion-proof products. It is particularly important to consider the differences between Zone 1 and Zone 2 mobile devices and how that can affect the overall safety of an operation.
