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 Dahej, Gujarat. Dahej combines an LNG terminal, a chemical port and petrochemical plants, so a reviewer may meet evidence requests from different operators. Offering ATEX and IECEx routes helps international contractors who work across the terminal, jetties and chemical plants. The IS-04Z1 has no certificate yet, and both routes remain in progress.

Questions · Dahej India
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an ATEX and IECEx smartphone in Dahej India 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 Dahej India 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 Dahej, Gujarat would use it?
Likely candidates are lng storage and regasification, ethane and propane handling, marine jetties, petrochemical plants. 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 Dahej, Gujarat?
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 Dahej, Gujarat.
How big is the tidal range at Dahej and does it matter?
High water can rise 10 to 11 metres, which affects vessel movements, jetty operations and marine support work. Schedules usually follow tide tables, so build flexibility into plans for jetty visits.
What are the main hazardous areas at the Dahej LNG terminal?
LNG sites typically classify areas around storage tanks, vaporisation units, jetty loading arms and truck loading bays, because vapour can form a flammable mixture with air. The operator defines the zones, so request the drawings and accepted approvals before entering.
What should be checked for monsoon and coastal conditions at Dahej?
Check ingress rating, corrosion resistance of connectors and seals, and how the device is stored between shifts. Heavy rain, salty air and heat all matter. IP68 helps with water, but explosion protection comes only from the marking. Ask the operator about its portable equipment rules in wet weather.
