A guide to the Peli intrinsically safe torches

If you work in the emergency services or in hazardous environments, you’ll know the importance of making sure that your equipment meets the required safety standards. Intrinsically safe torches, which are ATEX certified, are a key part of any kit if you’re working in a hazardous environment. Here at Peli UK, we have a great range of ATEX torches that will meet your requirements. Find out more about our ATEX range here.

What is an intrinsically safe torch?

If you’re working in a hazardous environment, you need to make sure that all of your equipment protects yourself and your colleagues from harm. Intrinsically safe torches are a type of explosion-proof LED torch that are certified as being safe for use in hazardous environments. These safety torches will not cause a spark or ignition of any chemicals or gases in the area where you’re working.

How are they ATEX certified?

A safety torch must comply with the ATEX Directive and meet the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commision) requirements to be classified as ATEX approved and certified by an approved body. The extensive range of Peli Zone 0 and Zone 1 torches comply with these standards, meaning professionals working in high risk industries can be confident that Peli offers products with the safety approvals needed for these situations.

Which torches can be used where?

ATEX approved torches are needed for use in a range of hazardous conditions. These conditions are identified as an ATEX Zone in a torches certification.

Zone 0

Zone 0 torches are safe to use in areas where an explosive atmosphere of gas, vapour or mist is continuously present, such as inside a subterranean petrol tank.

Zone 1

Zone 1 torches are safe to use in an area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation, i.e. around the petrol pump. As Zone 0 models are safe to use in the more hazardous environments, they are also completely safe to use in Zone 1 environments.
