ATEX Radios UK | Intrinsically Safe Two Way Radios

ATEX radios are intrinsically safe two way radios for hazardous areas where flammable gas, vapour or dust is present. They limit electrical and thermal energy so they cannot spark hot enough to ignite the atmosphere even under fault, which makes them essential on fuel, petrochemical and grain sites.

For the Great Britain market these are certified to UKEX, using the same BS EN 60079 standards as ATEX, and rated for the zone you work in (0, 1 or 2 for gas; 20, 21 or 22 for dust). Entel and Motorola lead our ATEX range; see all two way radios.

ATEX radio FAQs

What does ATEX mean on a radio?

That the radio is intrinsically safe: it limits electrical and thermal energy so it cannot spark hot enough to ignite a flammable atmosphere, even under fault conditions.

Is UKEX the same as ATEX?

For the Great Britain market UKEX is the equivalent scheme, built on the same BS EN 60079 standards. Our ATEX range is certified to UKEX for GB.

Which zone rating do I need?

It depends on how often a flammable atmosphere is present — Zones 0, 1 and 2 for gas, 20, 21 and 22 for dust. Your site safety assessment sets the zone; tell us and we will match the radio.
