Watcha want I might be able to help
I`ll talk to our design guru & see if we have supplied / utilised a  similar switch in the past

Excellent... I've found something suitable at a sensible price (previous option was over £1000 per van!) but will await further suggestions. The circuit is Intrinsically Safe due to low switching current so really this is a box ticking exercise, hence why I don't want to be spending fortunes.

A switch that meets the requirement as a standalone will be in an explosion proof sealed enclosure, usually with an additional front plate, with a lever that actuates the internal switch.

Whoever is asking for a specific clearly has no idea of what 'intrinsically safe' is as its quite possible to design the circuit such that any switch utilised is intrinsically safe, this is exactly what we do at work for systems associated with drilling in offshore applications.

Also have a look for reed switch switches, these have a low current reed which is actuated by a magnet on a lever.
