If you look at any intrinsically safe (IS) portable LED lighting product, you'll notice it has a printed or raised section of text on it. This safety requirement lets users see if the product they plan to use is safe to take into a potentially hazardous environment. 

Let's take a look at one example of a marking file and explain what it means. This example shows a very high safety rating for a global market and thus has a very complex marking file.

If you are unsure what safety requirements you need, consult with a reputable manufacturer or distributor of IS LED products. Ideally, you should purchase all IS LED lighting from a single manufacturer to ensure safety and quality across the entire product line. Because of the knowledge and expense required to engineer and produce IS products, a very limited number of companies can provide this.
