ATEX and IECEx Mobile Phone Distributor in Campos Basin
The Campos Basin is an offshore oil province off Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santo states, covering about 115,000 square kilometres. Offshore exploration began in 1968 and the first well was drilled in 1971; the Garoupa field was found in 1974 and the first production came from Enchova in 1977 at 124 m of water. An ATEX and IECEx mobile phone distributor in Campos Basin would carry the IS-04Z1 to these buyers once certification completes.

What Campos Basin means for portable equipment
Offshore climate
Salt, humidity and heat are normal, so equipment is commonly checked onshore before it goes offshore.
Field notes · Campos Basin
More about Campos Basin that matters for portable equipment
Campos Basin: infrastructure
Production comes from varied reservoir types, including turbidite sandstones, fractured basalts, coquinas and limestones, which leads to a mix of facility designs and well services across the basin.
Campos Basin: rules and approvals
Roncador ranked first among the top fields of the Santos, Campos and Espirito Santo basins in 2010 at 129.7 million barrels of oil equivalent, and the Campos Basin had eight discoveries in 2011.
Campos Basin: who works there
In 2020 Petrobras sold shallow-water concessions including Enchova, Bicudo, Bonito, Pampo and Badejo to Trident Energy, so the operator mix in older shallow fields has diversified.
Campos Basin: who works there
In 2014 about 62.7 percent of Petrobras' Brazilian proved developed reserves were in the Campos Basin, and the company set its basin headquarters in Macae in the 1970s.
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 Campos Basin. On Campos Basin platforms, where Petrobras, Prio, Shell, Trident Energy, Brava Energia and Perenco operate, reviewers expect certificate evidence before devices go offshore, and equipment is commonly checked onshore. A dual ATEX and IECEx route is designed to help international service firms. The IS-04Z1 has no certificate yet.
The route · distribution
Distributing the IS-04Z1 in Campos Basin
SAMS is appointing authorised distributors ahead of the Q4 2026 launch. No territory has been granted for Campos Basin yet and applications are reviewed company by company. Because a certified Ex device cannot be opened by an ordinary phone workshop without invalidating its certificate, SAMS looks for partners who can provide competent technical support and after-sales service locally.
What SAMS looks for in a partner
- Operator relationships
- Existing supplier registrations or a clear route to them with the main operators and contractors in Campos Basin.
- Ex-competent staff
- People who understand zone classification, markings and the conditions of a certificate.
And equally important
- Local-language support
- Documentation, training and helpdesk in the languages the workforce uses.
- Service capability
- Spares, battery replacement and repair routed through SAMS-approved channels.
Questions · Campos Basin
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an ATEX and IECEx mobile phone in Campos Basin today?
No. Nothing can be bought or taken into a classified area today: certification is in progress and launch is planned for Q4 2026. What is available now is the datasheet, the written certification schedule and evaluation units for safe-area use.
What does an ATEX and IECEx mobile phone in Campos Basin 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 Campos Basin would use it?
Likely candidates are platform process modules, wellhead areas, crude storage and offloading, gas compression. 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 Campos Basin?
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 Campos Basin.
Why is Macae central to equipment logistics for the basin?
Macae hosts Petrobras' basin base, an airport with offshore helicopter operations and over 4,000 companies set up in the city. That concentration makes it the usual staging point for spares and servicing. Confirm freight, customs and storage arrangements with your local contractor.
How do crews reach Campos Basin platforms?
Mostly by helicopter from the Macae area, with some supply by sea. Fields lie 50 to 140 km offshore, so transfers are weather dependent. Confirm helicopter operator rules about batteries and powered devices, and ask whether your equipment must be stowed or certified for the aircraft.
Where are handsets usually prepared before going to a Campos Basin platform?
Largely at Macae, which handles people and supplies for the basin and has the Imbetiba port and an airport used for offshore flights. Equipment is commonly checked onshore first. Confirm approvals, documentation and delivery routes with the operator and its contractors.
