Definition: component having contacts for making or breaking a specified ignition capable circuit, but in which the contacting mechanism is designed and constructed so that the component is not capable of causing ignition of the specified explosive gas atmosphere

Note 1 to entry: The enclosure of the non-incendive component is not intended to either exclude the explosive gas atmosphere or contain an explosion. This is usually applied to specially constructed switch contacts that are mechanically designed to quench any arc or spark so that they are not a source of ignition.
