Intrinsically safe
On for example a chemical plant there may be present certain products that will ignite under certain conditions. As electrical apparatus can generate a spark and cause explosions steps have to be taken to prevent this. When something is classified as being intrinsically safe it means that even under fault conditions it will not create a spark. There are different classifications depending on the products and the likelihood of them being present.
