Is the use of an iPhone in an explosive environment possible?
Feb 7, 2023
The oil and gas, mining, pharmaceutical and food industries all have one thing in common, explosive environments.
An explosive environment can consist of explosive gas, liquid or dust. Various refineries and industries must therefore work with ATEX (Atmosphére Explosible) classified electronic equipment that cannot create sparks or static electricity which can lead to an explosion.
