The term · ATEX and IECEx
What “ATEX and IECEx” means for a smartphone
ATEX is the European legal framework for equipment used in explosive atmospheres (Directive 2014/34/EU). IECEx is the international certification scheme built on the IEC 60079 standards. Buyers outside Europe often ask for both: an IECEx certificate is the technical evidence most national regimes build on, while ATEX is the legal route into the European market.
For the IS-04Z1 both routes are in progress with TÜV in Germany and neither certificate has been issued. The marking target is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4: equipment Group II (surface industry), Category 2 (Zone 1 gas), protection concept ib (intrinsic safety), gas group IIC and temperature class T4.
In Angra dos Reis. Reviewers at the TEBIG crude terminal or the BrasFELS yard in Angra dos Reis are likely to want clear certificate evidence, and Ex equipment in Brazil goes through Inmetro-accredited certification bodies. A dual ATEX and IECEx route is designed to help international yard clients and shipowners. The IS-04Z1 has no certificate yet.

Questions · Angra dos Reis
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an ATEX and IECEx mobile phone in Angra dos Reis today?
Not yet. The IS-04Z1 is pre-launch and its certification is still in progress ahead of a Q4 2026 launch. No unit goes into a classified area before the certificate covering it exists. The datasheet, the certification schedule and safe-area evaluation units are available now.
What does an ATEX and IECEx mobile phone in Angra dos Reis cost?
SAMS has not published a price. Any figure you are offered for an uncertified Ex phone should be treated with caution; written indicative pricing is available for a defined quantity and site.
Is the IS-04Z1 ATEX and IECEx certified?
Not yet. Both routes are in progress with TÜV in Germany and no certificate has been issued. Any listing that says otherwise is wrong.
Which areas at Angra dos Reis would use it?
Likely candidates are crude oil tank storage, tanker piers and loading arms, shipyard offshore-unit fabrication and integration, bunker fuel barge supply. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
How do I become a SAMS distributor for Angra dos Reis?
Apply through the distributor page with your company details and the territory you cover. SAMS reviews applications company by company and has not yet granted a territory for Angra dos Reis.
Can I use a mobile device during offshore unit outfitting at a shipyard?
Often only within the shipyard's own rules. Classified areas on hulls, tanks and process modules are usually managed with permits and gas testing, and devices may need to be certified for the relevant zone. Confirm the zone, gas group and temperature class with the yard before bringing equipment.
Which Angra dos Reis activities usually involve hazardous-area handheld devices?
Typically the crude oil terminal, tanker berths and offshore-unit outfitting at the shipyard, where flammable gas or vapour can be present. The nuclear plant is controlled separately by its operator, so confirm device rules and zone classification with each site owner.
Is Inmetro certification needed for Ex handsets used at Angra dos Reis?
Ex equipment in Brazil goes through Inmetro-accredited certification bodies, so a purchaser should expect to ask for that route. The IS-04Z1 is not yet certified. Confirm documentation requirements with the site operator and its HSE team before ordering.
