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 Hyderabad, Telangana. Pharma and life sciences buyers around Hyderabad often belong to international groups with a global EHS standard. ATEX and IECEx evidence together suits such groups, as well as contractors building new plants in Genome Valley and Pharma City. The IS-04Z1 certification routes are in progress, and no certificate has been issued.

Questions · Hyderabad India
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an ATEX and IECEx mobile phone in Hyderabad India 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 Hyderabad India 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 Hyderabad, Telangana would use it?
Likely candidates are solvent storage and dispensing, api reactor areas, powder handling, warehouse solvent stores. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
Is intrinsically safe the same as explosion proof?
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.
Why do pharma and biotech sites in Hyderabad need hazardous-area equipment?
Bulk drug and formulation plants use solvents and process gases, so reactor halls, solvent stores and effluent areas may be classified. Biotech labs usually have fewer classified zones, so ask each site for its area classification.
How hot does Hyderabad get for outdoor equipment?
Summer maxima often exceed 40 degrees Celsius from April to June, with a record of 45.5 degrees. Check the device's operating range and charging limits, and avoid leaving equipment in vehicles.
Will Pharma City affect where handhelds are needed?
Hyderabad Pharma City is a planned cluster still under development, and its status has been questioned. Future plants there would classify their own solvent and powder areas. Treat it as a possible future market, and confirm timing and requirements with the plant operators when they exist.
