Intrinsically Safe Devices for Marine and Offshore Safety – SEANAV Solutions

Intrinsically safe devices are essential in areas with flammable gases, vapors, or dust. These devices prevent sparks or high heat that could cause an explosion. At SEANAV, we supply, repair, and service a wide range of intrinsically safe equipment. Our products are ideal for marine, offshore, oil, and gas industries. We also ensure they meet global safety standards such as ATEX and IECEx.

For example, many of our clients use this equipment on oil tankers, LNG vessels, or offshore rigs. These harsh environments demand reliable, explosion-proof tools. SEANAV delivers certified radios, gas detectors, lights, and more. We also offer full support—from setup to routine servicing. This ensures you always meet safety rules and stay operational.

What Are Intrinsically Safe Devices?

An intrinsically safe (IS) device is designed to avoid ignition. It limits electrical and thermal energy. As a result, it is safe to use in explosive environments. These devices are often required in hazardous zones—like Zone 0, Zone 1, or Zone 2. Therefore, they must meet strict standards such as ATEX and IECEx.

Examples of Intrinsically Safe Equipment

• ATEX-certified two-way radios like the ICOM IC-F3202DEX
• Rugged smartphones and tablets for Zone 1 use
• Multi-gas detectors and portable meters
• IS headsets and audio accessories
• Explosion-proof flashlights
• Environmental monitors and alarms
