The certified intrinsic safety means staff can use a single connected device across both safe and classified zones. The right model depends on the zone and environment, so confirm certification on the product page.
Aegex is a manufacturer of intrinsically safe tablets designed for hazardous environments where conventional electronics cannot be used safely. In the Rugged catalogue the range includes the Aegex10-IS and the Aegex 100M, both Windows-based rugged tablets certified for use in explosive atmospheres. They are engineered for industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, mining, energy and utilities, marine and offshore, and defence. The devices combine certified intrinsic safety with sealed, durable construction and full Windows computing, so field workers can capture data and communicate inside classified zones. Exact certifications and specifications differ between the two models, so confirm the detail on the relevant product page.
Aegex tablets are certified for intrinsic safety under ATEX and IECEx standards. The Aegex10-IS is certified to ATEX and IECEx Zone 1, and to UL 913 Class I, II and III Division 1, making it suitable for areas where an explosive atmosphere is likely during normal operation. The Aegex 100M is certified to ATEX Zone 1, with Zone 0 capability when used with the Aegex leather case, alongside IECEx and UL 913. Zone 0 covers areas where an explosive atmosphere is present continuously or for long periods. Because zone coverage and conditions vary by model and accessory, always confirm the exact certification on the product page.
Intrinsically safe means the device is engineered so it cannot release enough electrical or thermal energy to ignite a surrounding explosive atmosphere of gas, vapour or dust. Aegex tablets are certified to recognised intrinsic safety standards rather than simply being rugged. The Aegex10-IS is certified by SGS to UL 913 Class I, II and III Division 1, and to ATEX and IECEx Zone 1, with defined temperature classes and an IP65 seal. This allows the tablet to be carried and operated inside classified hazardous zones where standard tablets are prohibited. The precise certification marks and temperature limits are listed on each product page and should be confirmed before deployment.
