or EU- and UK-registered ships, intrinsically safe equipment to be used within potentially explosive environments must meet the requirements mandated by the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.
Motorola Solutions supplies a number of “intrinsically safe” radios as required by the SOLAS regulation. These devices are designed so that they do not cause ignition of hazardous substances when used in environments that have explosive vapour or dust present in the atmosphere - for example in locations concerned with fuel storage. The MOTOTRBO™ DP4000 Ex Series is certified against the ATEX Directive and meets some of the most stringent classifications of any two-way radio available on the market today, meaning that they can be used safely in a wide variety of explosive environments.
