Neither will form a source of ignition, but non-incendive equipment is certified on the assumption that there are no faults or malfunctions. Intrinsically safe means that even in the event of a fault — a cracked screen, for example — the equipment still cannot form a source of ignition. This is essentially what differentiates Zone 1 from Zone 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProtection method Ex ic: intrinsic safety\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other side of the argument is more technical.
