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 Jamnagar, Gujarat. The Reliance complex at Motikhavdi is large enough that its own HSE and procurement teams, plus visiting international contractors, may each ask for certificate evidence. A dual ATEX and IECEx route addresses both audiences. The IS-04Z1 has no certificate yet, and both certification routes remain in progress.

- Ex-competent staff
- People who understand zone classification, markings and the conditions of a certificate.
And equally important

Questions · Jamnagar India
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an ATEX and IECEx smartphone in Jamnagar India 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 Jamnagar India 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 Jamnagar, Gujarat would use it?
Likely candidates are refinery process units, petcoke gasification, refinery off-gas cracker and petrochemical units, crude and product tank farms. 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 Jamnagar, 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 Jamnagar, Gujarat.
Why is Jamnagar one of the largest hazardous-area sites in the world?
The refinery complex handles over a million barrels a day plus petrochemical units and port facilities, so classified areas are extensive. The operator sets the zones and equipment rules, so confirm them before entering.
Are local contractors available at Jamnagar?
The area has a large industrial and fabrication base, including thousands of brass workshops, and a workforce that mostly speaks Gujarati. Operators still require site induction, so plan time for approvals.
How do long distances on a large refinery affect handheld choice?
Large sites mean long walks and long shifts, so battery life, charging points and a robust housing matter. Charging must happen in safe areas, not in classified ones. Ask the operator what charging and spare-device arrangements are permitted before planning a fleet.
