Xshielder

ABLE Instruments are an Official UK Partner for Xshielder, a specialist in transforming leading consumer smartphones into certified explosion-proof devices for use in hazardous environments. Designed and engineered in Norway, Xshielder products combine technical innovation with robust Ex compliance to offer reliable Zone 1 and Zone 2 mobile solutions without compromising performance or usability.

Xshielder’s flagship products are explosion proof enclosures for Apple’s iPhone range, including the latest iPhone 16 Pro Max. These devices are designed for professionals working in explosive atmospheres, such as oil & gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing environments where ATEX and IECEx compliance is essential.

Unlike traditional intrinsically safe mobile devices, Xshielder enclosures retain the full functionality of the original smartphone, including camera access, touchscreen responsiveness, audio, MagSafe charging, and biometric authentication, while meeting stringent Ex standards. This approach allows businesses to deploy familiar, high-performance technology in hazardous zones without the cost and limitations of legacy ruggedised devices.
