The Difference Between Intrinsically Safe and Explosion-Proof:
These are two different explosion-proof protection types.
Explosion-proof typically involves using an explosion-proof housing for protection, which must have sufficient thickness and strength.
Even in the event of an explosion within the equipment, the flame will be extinguished due to the width, gap, and roughness of the explosion-proof shell joint, preventing ignition of the external hazardous environment.
On the other hand, even if an explosion occurs in a hazardous area outside, the explosion-proof housing maintains its explosion-proof capabilities.
Overall, the housing is both explosion-resistant and explosion-proof. The equipment will be rather bulky.
intrinsic safety, referring to equipment that achieves fundamental safety by limiting circuit energy, etc.
Safety-certified products have higher requirements for device circuits and operating power, typically suitable for handheld devices and low-power products.

How to understand the difference between explosion-proof and intrinsic safety explosion-proof?
These are two different types of explosion-proof protection styles.
Explosion-proof typically involves the use of a blast-proof housing for protection. The blast-proof housing must have sufficient thickness and strength, even if an explosion occurs inside the equipment.
The flame can also be extinguished due to the width, gap, and roughness of the explosion-proof shell joint surface, igniting the external hazardous environment.
On the other hand, even in the event of an explosion in a hazardous area outside, the explosion-proof housing boasts anti-explosion properties.
Overall, the shell is both explosion-resistant and explosion-proof. The equipment will be rather heavy.
intrinsic safety, which refers to the inherent safety of equipment achieved through the restriction of circuit energy, etc.
Safety-certified products have higher requirements for equipment's circuits and operating power, generally suitable for handheld devices and low-power products.

Why do we need to do explosion-proof design first before applying for the explosion-proof certification?
That's for sure.
The product undergoes explosion-proof certification, which involves passing the relevant testing projects of the explosion-proof standards to obtain an explosion-proof certificate.
To ensure the product passes the explosion-proof standard testing projects, it must be designed in accordance with the testing requirements, which is to say, to implement explosion-proof design.
For explosion-proof requirements, refer to GB/T3836.1 and GB/T3836.2; for intrinsic safety design, consult GB/T3836.1 and GB/T3836.4.
Designs for increased safety should refer to GB/T3836.1 and GB/T3836.3, etc.

How to differentiate between gas explosion-proof certification and dust explosion-proof certification?
The gas explosion-proof certification and dust explosion-proof certification we often refer to are categorized based on the applicable locations of the equipment.
Explosion-proof equipment for various hazardous gas environments is subject to gas explosion-proof certification, while equipment for flammable dust environments undergoes dust explosion-proof certification.
In explosion-proof certification, gases are categorized as IIA, IIB, and IIC, while dusts are classified as IIIA, IIIB, and IIIC. Their characteristics and environments differ, necessitating different explosion-proof protection measures for equipment. They should not be interchanged. Of course, certain products, during the explosion-proof certification process, take into account both gas and dust explosion-proof standards, allowing them to be used in both gas and dust environments. The explosion-proof certificate also indicates whether it is for gas or dust explosion-proof certification through the explosion-proof symbol.
