Fortune Indonesia reports the unit has been operating since 1971 and spans Dumai and Sungai Pakning, with products including LPG, jet fuel, diesel and green coke.
Dumai, on the Riau coast of Sumatra, hosts Pertamina's Refinery Unit II, with Dumai and Sungai Pakning sites and a combined capacity reported at 170,000 barrels per day. Crude processing, storage and marine loading create Zone 1 areas. If you are specifying an ATEX and IECEx mobile phone for Dumai Refinery, Riau, this page covers the markings, the approvals and the current certification status of the IS-04Z1.
Pre-launch · certification in progress · Launching Q4 2026
Short answer. The SAMS IS-04Z1 is the intrinsically safe smartphone covered here for Dumai Refinery, Riau: pre-launch, designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 (marking target Ex ib IIC T4), with certification in progress and no certificate issued.
For the record, no certificate exists for the IS-04Z1 today. The programme is under way ahead of a Q4 2026 launch. Operator approval runs on its own timeline. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Dumai Refinery. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
The companies on site and the hazardous-area types a handset is likely to meet there.
Fortune Indonesia reports the unit has been operating since 1971 and spans Dumai and Sungai Pakning, with products including LPG, jet fuel, diesel and green coke.
The Dumai crude unit is quoted at about 120,000 barrels per day within the 170,000 total; figures vary slightly by source.
All six of Indonesia's oil refineries are run by Pertamina, and together they supplied only about half of national fuel demand, which is why upgrade programmes cover the largest units including Dumai.
Indonesia's Refinery Development Master Plan aims to raise national crude processing capacity towards two million barrels a day, with the biggest existing refineries to be upgraded and new ones built at Tuban and Bontang.
Dumai lies about 188 km from Pekanbaru and is connected to the Trans-Sumatra Highway and toll road; Pinang Kampai Airport has daily domestic flights to Jakarta, Pekanbaru, Medan and Batam.
The Dumai refinery has operated since 1971, and the Putri Tujuh Dumai and Sungai Pakning refineries together have supplied fuel to Sumatra and contributed to regional development in Riau.
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 Dumai Refinery, Riau. A reviewer at Dumai would expect certificate evidence tied to the equipment marking, with its schedule of conditions. The IS-04Z1 evidence is still in progress. A dual ATEX and IECEx route helps contractors who also work at other Pertamina refineries and on international projects.
A short checklist for anyone writing or reviewing the specification, with the IS-04Z1 status against each point.
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.
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.
Not yet. Both routes are in progress with TÜV in Germany and no certificate has been issued. Any listing that says otherwise is wrong.
Likely candidates are refinery process units, crude and product tank farms, marine loading jetties. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
Not exactly. Explosion proof is a broad everyday term; intrinsic safety is one protection concept, which limits energy so ignition cannot occur. Flameproof (Ex d) is a different concept that contains an explosion. The IS-04Z1 is intrinsically safe by design.
Green coke is a petroleum-coke product, and fine carbon dust can be combustible and conductive. Where it is handled, sites may classify combustible-dust zones, so ask the operator whether your handset needs a dust-rated device and how often it must be cleaned.
Dumai is a coastal port city in Riau Province, so sea freight is practical, and many visitors fly to Pekanbaru and continue by road. Plan for customs clearance in Indonesia and a site gate check, and confirm lead times with your freight agent.
Equatorial heat and rain through the year affect battery performance and seals, so check the rated operating range and charging arrangements. Charge only in safe areas. Rain protection does not equal explosion protection. Confirm the permitted device list with the operator.
