Often searched for as an “explosion-proof phone”, the IS-04Z1 is an intrinsically safe (Ex ib) Android for Zone 1/21 and Zone 2/22, engineered to IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 — the three systems that between them open hazardous-area sites across Europe, the Gulf, the Americas and Asia. Certification is underway with TÜV in Germany, ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
