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 Cilacap Refinery, Central Java. Reviewers at Cilacap, Indonesia's largest refinery, would expect certificate evidence that traces to the marking, with a schedule of conditions. The IS-04Z1 evidence is in progress. A dual ATEX and IECEx route helps because the refinery's maintenance and upgrade contractors often bring equipment records from international projects.

Frequently asked questions

Can we buy an ATEX and IECEx smartphone in Cilacap Refinery today?

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.

What does an ATEX and IECEx smartphone in Cilacap Refinery 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 Cilacap Refinery, Central Java would use it?

Likely candidates are refinery process units, crude and product tank farms, marine loading facilities. 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 Cilacap Refinery, Central Java?

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 Cilacap Refinery, Central Java.

Is Cilacap a good place to hold stock of replacement handsets for a long project?

It can be, because a refinery of this size typically runs continuous operations and periodic turnarounds that need many handheld devices. Plan spares, batteries and chargers in line with site rules, and check import and radio type-approval requirements first.

Who runs the Cilacap refinery and how do contractors get approved?

Refinery Unit IV is part of Pertamina's refining business under PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional. Suppliers and contractors typically register through Pertamina procurement and follow the unit's own safety induction and permit-to-work rules, so confirm the current route with the refinery.

Is the refinery's stated capacity relevant when choosing a handset for Cilacap?

Only indirectly. Published capacity figures vary slightly, but what matters for a device is the area classification and the operator's approval rules. Ask Pertamina for the current zone drawings and equipment procedure. Confirm with the site operator.
