Pertamina: industry on the ground
PT Badak LNG operates a plant at Bontang in East Kalimantan with 8 trains and a total capacity of 22.5 million tonnes a year, in which Pertamina has invested through an operating company.
Pertamina is Indonesia's state-owned energy company, headquartered in Jakarta and founded in 1968. In October 2020 Pertamina unveiled a new corporate identity, presenting itself as moving from a national oil and gas company to a global energy company with a stated net-zero ambition for 2060. Buyers searching for an ATEX and IECEx mobile phone supplier for Pertamina can take the datasheet and the certification schedule for the IS-04Z1 now; supply follows certification.
Pre-launch · certification in progress · Launching Q4 2026
Short answer. An ATEX and IECEx mobile phone for Pertamina cannot be bought yet: the SAMS IS-04Z1 is pre-launch (certification in progress, no certificate issued), and the datasheet, certification schedule and safe-area evaluation units are available now.
Current position: certification in progress, nothing issued, launch targeted for Q4 2026. A buyer's engineering review is separate from the certificate. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.
| Check | What to look for | IS-04Z1 today |
|---|---|---|
| Marking | II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4 on the rating plate | Design target; not yet marked |
| EU-type examination certificate | Notified body number and certificate ID | In progress with TÜV; not issued |
| IECEx certificate of conformity | Number listed on the IECEx online register | In progress; not issued |
| Where it applies | Pertamina: Refinery process units, Oil and gas production facilities, Fuel terminals | Classified by the site operator |

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Indonesia. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
Where it operates and the kinds of classified area a handset would meet there.
Pertamina lists a general procurement programme and an e-procurement system (GEPSMART) on its website; confirm current vendor requirements with Pertamina. The Ex certificate and an organisation's own vendor or engineering approval are two separate timelines; SAMS is working towards both and holds neither today.
PT Badak LNG operates a plant at Bontang in East Kalimantan with 8 trains and a total capacity of 22.5 million tonnes a year, in which Pertamina has invested through an operating company.
As of 2013 Pertamina operated six oil refineries with a combined capacity of around one million barrels a day, and it has not built a new refinery since Balongan in West Java opened in the mid-1990s.
The six Arun LNG trains near Lhokseumawe in Aceh, with 12.5 million tonnes a year capacity, closed in 2014 for lack of feed gas, and the site now uses an LNG import terminal.
PT Donggi Senoro LNG in Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi, has one train with 2 million tonnes a year capacity, giving another LNG site where Pertamina has an investment.
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 Pertamina. A Pertamina procurement or HSE reviewer would expect certificate evidence before a handheld enters a refinery process unit or fuel terminal. A dual ATEX and IECEx route helps international contractors and EPCs working on upgrades at the Dumai, Cilacap or Balikpapan refineries, who already carry that paperwork elsewhere. For the IS-04Z1, certification is in progress and no certificate exists.
Supply of the IS-04Z1 to Pertamina starts only after certification, through authorised distributors. Until then a buyer can request the datasheet and the written certification schedule, and arrange a safe-area evaluation unit, which puts the site on the list for the right local channel at launch.
The technical specification, marking target and conditions of use, sent by email.
Which certificates are in progress, in what order, and what is still to be confirmed.
Evaluation units can be used for connectivity, MDM enrolment and workflow testing outside classified areas.
Tell us the site, zone, gas group and quantity so the right authorised distributor can contact you.
Not today. Until the certificates are issued the IS-04Z1 stays out of classified areas, and until launch there is nothing to purchase. You can ask for the datasheet and the certification schedule, or book a safe-area evaluation unit.
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.
Pertamina lists a general procurement programme and an e-procurement system (GEPSMART) on its website; confirm current vendor requirements with Pertamina.
Through authorised distributors once certificates exist. Until then SAMS can send the datasheet and certification schedule and arrange safe-area evaluation units.
Most Pertamina sites are hot and humid with heavy rain and coastal salt air, which stresses seals, connectors and batteries. For handheld devices look for strong ingress protection, corrosion resistance and thermal management, and ask the site about its own environmental limits.
Indonesia uses its own national standard conformity system alongside recognised international explosive-atmosphere certificates, and oil and gas operators apply their own specifications. Confirm with Pertamina and the site which certificates and local registration are accepted before offering handheld devices.
Typical uses would be the refinery process units at sites such as Dumai, Cilacap and Balongan, plus fuel terminals and production facilities. Which areas count as classified is Pertamina's call. Ask each site's HSE team for its area drawings before checking the IS-04Z1's target marking against them.
