ATEX and IECEx Smartphone Distributor in Brazil Oil Platforms

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.

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.

Not yet. Both routes are in progress with TÜV in Germany and no certificate has been issued. Any listing that says otherwise is wrong.

Likely candidates are oil and gas process modules, wellhead areas, gas compression, cargo tanks and offloading areas. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.

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 Brazilian offshore oil platforms.

Typically wellhead, process, gas compression, separator and some tank and drilling areas, along with parts of the helideck fuel area. Exact zones, gas groups and temperature classes come from the platform's classification drawings, so confirm them with the operator before taking a device out.

Rules are set by the operator and are usually strict: personal devices are often restricted to accommodation areas, and field devices normally must hold certification for the relevant zone. Check the induction material and ask the safety team which devices are permitted in each area.

Each operator, including Petrobras, Prio, Shell, Trident Energy, Brava Energia and Perenco, applies its own rules on portable devices and approvals. Ask each one for its Ex equipment policy rather than assuming a common standard applies. Confirm with the site operator before any order.
