More about Duque de Caxias that matters for portable equipment
Duque de Caxias: industry on the ground
Reduc sells about 55 different products, the most of any Petrobras refinery, from diesel, jet fuel and asphalt to LPG, paraffins, lubricants, coke and sulphur, so many hazardous product streams are handled on site.
Duque de Caxias: infrastructure
Petrobras has installed a reverse osmosis system supplied by SETA to treat and reuse refinery effluents, an example of the water-management projects that run alongside normal operations.
Duque de Caxias: background
Reduc began operating in 1961 near Rio de Janeiro, one of the early refineries built after Petrobras was created in 1953 with a legal monopoly.
Duque de Caxias: projects and investment
The Reduc delayed coking unit started operating in July 2008 after an investment of about one billion dollars, converting heavy feedstock into diesel and naphtha and producing petroleum coke.
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 Duque de Caxias. At the Reduc refinery in Duque de Caxias, reviewers will want certificate evidence that fits Brazil's Inmetro-accredited route. A dual ATEX and IECEx route is designed to help international contractors on the investment programme. The IS-04Z1 has no certificate yet; this is in progress.

Questions · Duque de Caxias
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an ATEX and IECEx mobile phone in Duque de Caxias 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 Duque de Caxias cost?
There is no list price yet. SAMS gives indicative pre-launch pricing in writing, against a stated quantity and site, and does not commit to a lead time before certification completes.
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 Duque de Caxias would use it?
Likely candidates are refinery process units, tank farms and pipelines, loading and dispatch areas, biofuel (saf and renewable diesel) processing. 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 Duque de Caxias?
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 Duque de Caxias.
How should I plan devices for a Rio de Janeiro refinery visit?
Typically choose a device with the right zone, gas group and temperature class, carry its certificate, and confirm local radio approval requirements. Many sites also require induction and an approved-equipment check at the gate, so allow time for that.
What does the refinery's lubricant and gas role mean for hazard types?
Lubricant plants and gas processing mean both flammable liquids and flammable gases can occur, sometimes with hydrocarbon vapours near ambient temperature. Ask the operator for the applicable gas groups; do not assume one device rating covers every unit.
Will the 2026 shutdowns affect when I should order?
Maintenance shutdowns of the coking and hydrotreating units are scheduled in 2026, which brings large contractor numbers into classified areas. Plan lead times early. Certification is in progress, so confirm schedules and requirements with the site operator and its HSE team.
