ATEX and IECEx Mobile Phone Distributor in São Paulo
Sao Paulo is Brazil's largest city and an industrial state. São Paulo has a humid subtropical climate, and heavy storms can bring more than 140 mm of rain in 24 hours, so outdoor and plant-yard work needs weather protection for portable equipment. An ATEX and IECEx mobile phone distributor in Sao Paulo state would carry the IS-04Z1 to these buyers once certification completes.

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 Sao Paulo state. Sao Paulo state hosts Petrobras refineries at Paulinia, Cubatao and Capuava, plus Revap, so reviewers at those plants will want evidence that fits Brazil's Inmetro-accredited route. A dual ATEX and IECEx route is designed to help international contractors. The IS-04Z1 has no certificate yet.

Distributing the IS-04Z1 in São Paulo
SAMS is appointing authorised distributors ahead of the Q4 2026 launch. No territory has been granted for Sao Paulo state 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 Sao Paulo state.
- 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 · São Paulo
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an ATEX and IECEx mobile phone in São Paulo 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 São Paulo 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 Sao Paulo state would use it?
Likely candidates are refinery process units, tank farms, pipeline terminals, fuel storage and loading. 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 Sao Paulo state?
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 Sao Paulo state.
Why do suppliers locate offices in Sao Paulo?
Because large corporations, banks and engineering contractors are based there, and Santos port is within 79 km. This does not replace site approvals, so confirm the operator's vendor registration process.
Where are the hazardous sites near Sao Paulo?
Not in the city centre but at refineries and petrochemical plants in the state, such as Replan at Paulinia, RPBC and Capuava, plus fuel terminals and pipelines. Confirm the site and its classification with the operator.
Is Sao Paulo city a hazardous area?
The city itself is not a refinery site. The state hosts four Petrobras refineries, Replan, Revap, RPBC and Recap, in other municipalities. Check which plant the handset will visit. Confirm documentation requirements with the site operator and its HSE team.
