Intrinsic Safety is a protection technique for safe operation of electronic equipment in hazardous atmospheres. The underlying principle is to ensure that the available electrical and thermal energy in the system is always low enough that ignition of such hazardous atmosphere cannot occur. Note that no single component or circuit is intrinsically safe of itself, but only in the context of an overall and properly designed Intrinsic Safety system.
Within life sciences, similar concepts can be deployed:
Intrinsic Quality is a protection technique for quality operation of manufacturing equipment in GMP environments. The underlying principle is to ensure that hazard thresholds within the system are always low enough that the @risk product or specification cannot be compromised. Note that no single component or ‘circuit’ can be said to exhibit intrinsic quality of itself, but only in the context of an overall and properly designed Intrinsic Quality system.
