Short answer. An ATEX and IECEx mobile phone for Indonesia 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.
Where things stand: the IS-04Z1 has not launched, and none of its four certification routes has produced a certificate yet. Operator approval runs on its own timeline. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.

Field notes · Indonesia
More about Indonesia that matters for portable equipment
Indonesia: geography and layout
Indonesia lies between the Indian and Pacific oceans and includes Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi and parts of Borneo and New Guinea, so field, mine and refinery sites face varied tropical conditions.
Indonesia: geography and layout
Indonesia has between 13,000 and 17,000 islands and covers 1,904,569 square kilometres, so shipping, barges and air freight are central to getting equipment to remote oil and mining sites.
Indonesia: industry on the ground
Pertamina was the third-largest crude oil producer in Indonesia in 2020, behind Mobil Cepu and Chevron Pacific Indonesia, which shows that foreign-operated fields remain significant.
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 Indonesia. An Indonesian reviewer would expect IECEx evidence plus the local route, including SNI, Komdigi type approval and TKDN, which the sheet lists as in progress. ATEX evidence helps international contractors working on LNG and offshore-support sites. A dual route lets one pack serve the operator and visiting teams. No certificate has been issued.

Sourcing the IS-04Z1 for Indonesia
Supply of the IS-04Z1 to Indonesia 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.
- 01
Request the datasheet
The technical specification, marking target and conditions of use, sent by email.
- 02
Ask for the certification schedule
Which certificates are in progress, in what order, and what is still to be confirmed.
- 03
Evaluate in a safe area
Evaluation units can be used for connectivity, MDM enrolment and workflow testing outside classified areas.
- 04

Questions · Indonesia
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an ATEX and IECEx mobile phone in Indonesia 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 Indonesia 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 sites in Indonesia does this cover?
The market guide for Indonesia covers Cilacap, Central Java, Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, Dumai, Riau, Balongan, West Java, among others. Site-level pages are linked below.
How will SAMS supply Indonesia?
Through authorised distributors once certificates exist. Until then SAMS can send the datasheet and certification schedule and arrange safe-area evaluation units.
What approval does a phone need in Indonesia?
SDPPI certification is compulsory for radio and telecom equipment, with local testing and a local representative required, a marking requirement and a three-year validity. Expired certificates must be tested as a new model. Confirm the current rules with SDPPI or an accredited agent before importing.
Do I need Indonesian testing even with CE or FCC reports?
A market-access database lists CE and FCC as other recognised schemes, but also notes local testing as required for certification. Foreign reports can therefore help but may not replace testing in Indonesia, so confirm the exact approach with SDPPI or an accredited laboratory.
Which Indonesian approvals apply?
The market guide lists SNI, Komdigi type approval and TKDN work, together with IECEx, as in progress. None has been granted. Requirements for a given project depend on the operator and regulators, so check the current status and ask the site operator before ordering.
