ATEX and IECEx Smartphone Distributor in Angra dos Reis
Angra dos Reis is a municipality in the south of Rio de Janeiro state on Ilha Grande bay. After final outfitting the P-56 went through testing and adjustment in Ilha Grande Bay before being towed to the Campos Basin, a typical pattern for offshore units completed at Angra dos Reis. An ATEX and IECEx smartphone distributor in Angra dos Reis would carry the IS-04Z1 to these buyers once certification completes.

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 Angra dos Reis. Reviewers at the TEBIG crude terminal or the BrasFELS yard in Angra dos Reis are likely to want clear certificate evidence, and Ex equipment in Brazil goes through Inmetro-accredited certification bodies. A dual ATEX and IECEx route is designed to help international yard clients and shipowners. The IS-04Z1 has no certificate yet.
The route · distribution
Distributing the IS-04Z1 in Angra dos Reis
Distribution of the IS-04Z1 is by authorised partners only, and SAMS has not yet granted a territory for Angra dos Reis. Each application is reviewed on its merits. Because opening a certified Ex handset in an ordinary workshop invalidates its certificate, the partner must be able to support and service the device locally.
What SAMS looks for in a partner
- Operator relationships
- Existing supplier registrations or a clear route to them with the main operators and contractors in Angra dos Reis.
- Ex-competent staff
- People who understand zone classification, markings and the conditions of a certificate.
And equally important
- Local-language support
- Documentation, training and helpdesk in the languages the workforce uses.
- Service capability
- Spares, battery replacement and repair routed through SAMS-approved channels.
Questions · Angra dos Reis
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an ATEX and IECEx smartphone in Angra dos Reis 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 smartphone in Angra dos Reis 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 Angra dos Reis would use it?
Likely candidates are crude oil tank storage, tanker piers and loading arms, shipyard offshore-unit fabrication and integration, bunker fuel barge supply. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
How do I become a SAMS distributor for Angra dos Reis?
Apply through the distributor page with your company details and the territory you cover. SAMS reviews applications company by company and has not yet granted a territory for Angra dos Reis.
Can I use a mobile device during offshore unit outfitting at a shipyard?
Often only within the shipyard's own rules. Classified areas on hulls, tanks and process modules are usually managed with permits and gas testing, and devices may need to be certified for the relevant zone. Confirm the zone, gas group and temperature class with the yard before bringing equipment.
Which Angra dos Reis activities usually involve hazardous-area handheld devices?
Typically the crude oil terminal, tanker berths and offshore-unit outfitting at the shipyard, where flammable gas or vapour can be present. The nuclear plant is controlled separately by its operator, so confirm device rules and zone classification with each site owner.
Is Inmetro certification needed for Ex handsets used at Angra dos Reis?
Ex equipment in Brazil goes through Inmetro-accredited certification bodies, so a purchaser should expect to ask for that route. The IS-04Z1 is not yet certified. Confirm documentation requirements with the site operator and its HSE team before ordering.
