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 Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area. A reviewer at Tanjung Perak, Gresik or the Rungkut estate would expect certificate evidence matched to the marking, with its schedule of conditions. The IS-04Z1 evidence is in progress. A dual ATEX and IECEx route helps because the area mixes port, chemical, fertiliser and cement operators.

Questions · Surabaya
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an ATEX and IECEx mobile phone in Surabaya 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 Surabaya 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 Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area would use it?
Likely candidates are port fuel and chemical handling, fertiliser and chemical plants, cement plant dust areas, industrial estate chemical plants. 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.
How do I move equipment between Surabaya and Madura or other East Java sites?
The Suramadu Bridge links Surabaya and Madura by road, and Tanjung Perak serves sea freight to eastern Indonesia. Allow time for customs clearance and for any site gate checks on electronic devices at plants and terminals.
Why is Surabaya a useful base for marine and shipyard work?
It has Indonesia's second-busiest seaport, a large shipyard and naval facilities, plus freight forwarders and customs brokers. Marine work typically involves tank entry and hot work, so confirm each yard's permit rules for portable electronic devices.
Can one handset serve both chemical plants and cement works around Surabaya?
Not necessarily. Chemical and fuel areas are gas hazards, while cement works are dust areas, and each needs a suitable marking. The IS-04Z1 target marking covers gas only. Check each area's classification with the operator.
