Safety and General Information
Intrinsically Safe Radio Information
FMRC Approved Equipment
Anyone intending to use a radio in a location where hazardous
concentrations of flammable materials exist (hazardous atmosphere)
is advised to become familiar with the subject of intrinsic safety and
with the National Electric Code NFPA 70 (National Fire Protection
Association) Article 500 (hazardous [classified] locations).
An Approval Guide, issued by Factory Mutual Research Corporation
(FMRC), lists manufacturers and the products approved by FMRC for
use in such locations. FMRC has also issued a voluntary approval
standard for repair service (“Class Number 3605”).
FMRC Approval labels are attached to the radio to
identify the unit as being FM Approved for specified
hazardous atmospheres. This label specifies the
hazardous Class/Division/Group along with the part
number of the battery that must be used. Depending on
the design of the portable unit, this FM label can be
found on the back or the bottom of the radio housing.
The FM Approval mark is shown here.
