Intrinsically Safe Radios & Headsets
Intrinsically safe two-way radios and headsets for hazardous areas where flammable gas, vapour or dust may be present.
Equipment in this range is certified so it cannot create a spark or heat capable of causing ignition. Radios include the Motorola MOTOTRBO R7 TIA-4950 and R7Ex, Hytera HP71XEx and PT890Ex TETRA, and Entel DTEx series. For hearing protection and communication in high noise, we stock Sensear SM1P Ex and IS headsets and the 3M PELTOR CH-3 FLX2 Ex.
Always match the certification (ATEX, IECEx or UL913), gas group and temperature class to your site’s hazardous area classification. Batteries and accessories must also be certified for use with the radio.

Intrinsically safe two-way radios and headsets for hazardous environments
When working in hazardous environments, safety and compliance are non-negotiable. Intrinsically safe (IS) radios are designed to prevent sparks, heat or electrical energy from igniting flammable gases, vapours or dust, keeping workers protected in high-risk areas.
Radio Industries supplies a wide range of certified intrinsically safe radios and headsets for mining, oil and gas, chemical manufacturing, fuel storage, emergency response and hazardous area maintenance. Our IS equipment is certified to ATEX, IECEx and UL standards for use in Zone 0, Zone 1 and Zone 2 environments. Learn more in What’s the difference between ATEX, IECEx and UL?

Intrinsically Safe Radios & Headsets FAQs
What does intrinsically safe mean?
An intrinsically safe radio or headset limits electrical and thermal energy so it cannot ignite flammable gas, vapour or dust. It is certified for use in specific hazardous zones.
Which certification do I need in Australia?
IECEx is the most widely accepted certification for hazardous areas in Australia. Always match the certification, gas group and temperature class to your site’s hazardous area classification. See ATEX, IECEx and UL explained.
Can I use any battery or accessory with an IS radio?
No. Batteries, belt clips, speaker mics and earpieces must be certified for use with that specific radio, or the radio may no longer be intrinsically safe. Check each product or ask our team.
Do you supply intrinsically safe headsets?
Yes, including Sensear SM1P Ex and IS headsets and the 3M PELTOR CH-3 FLX2 Ex for high-noise hazardous sites.
Can you help choose the right IS radio?
Yes. Tell us your zone classification, industry and how your team works, and we will recommend radios and accessories that meet your safety and compliance requirements. Call 1300 266 682.
