Scale
Tutupan produced an estimated 36 million tonnes in 2023 and Sangatta about 41 million tonnes, so fleets and workforces are large and contractor-heavy.
Kalimantan hosts some of Indonesia's largest open-pit coal mines, including Kaltim Prima Coal at Sangatta in East Kalimantan and Adaro's Tutupan mine in South Kalimantan. State utility PLN plans additional coal-fired capacity and has begun co-firing biomass at 17 power plants, so mines and power stations are linked by long coal supply chains. Distribution partners for Kalimantan coal mining region are being identified ahead of the Q4 2026 launch of the IS-04Z1.
Pre-launch · certification in progress · Launching Q4 2026
Short answer. Kalimantan coal mining region has no appointed SAMS distributor yet: the IS-04Z1 is pre-launch (certification in progress, no certificate issued, launch planned for Q4 2026), and distributor applications are open.
Where things stand: the IS-04Z1 has not launched, and none of its four certification routes has produced a certificate yet. A buyer's engineering review is separate from the certificate. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.
| Check | What to look for | IS-04Z1 today |
|---|---|---|
| Marking | II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4 on the rating plate | Design target; not yet marked |
| EU-type examination certificate | Notified body number and certificate ID | In progress with TÜV; not issued |
| IECEx certificate of conformity | Number listed on the IECEx online register | In progress; not issued |
| Where it applies | Kalimantan coal mining region: Mine-site power generation, Coal loading terminals, Coal handling and preparation plants (dust, Zone 21) | Classified by the site operator |

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Kalimantan Mining. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
Who operates there and which kinds of classified area a handset would meet, from the SAMS site research.
Tutupan produced an estimated 36 million tonnes in 2023 and Sangatta about 41 million tonnes, so fleets and workforces are large and contractor-heavy.
The climate is equatorial, so ingress protection and charging routines are practical concerns.
The coal industry is fragmented, with a few large producers and many small firms, so equipment rules and safety culture can vary widely between neighbouring mine sites.
Coal dust is a recognised health and handling issue in Indonesian mining, so dust control, cleaning and sealed enclosures matter for electronics used around crushers, conveyors and stockpiles.
A Domestic Market Obligation requires coal miners to allocate 25 percent of production to local use at a fixed price, which shapes how much coal is railed and barged to domestic power stations.
Coal bed methane reserves of about 12.8 trillion cubic metres lie mainly in Kalimantan and Sumatra, which is a reminder that methane can accompany coal seams, though development has been limited.
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 Kalimantan coal mining region. Mine reviewers at Sangatta or Tutupan would expect certificate evidence matched to the marking, with its schedule of conditions. The IS-04Z1 evidence is in progress. A dual ATEX and IECEx route helps the operators and the mining contractors whose fleets and workforces are large.
A distributor for Kalimantan coal mining region would carry the IS-04Z1 after certification completes; the Q4 2026 launch is the planning date and no appointment has been made. SAMS reviews applicants one by one and prefers companies with their own Ex-competent technical and service staff, since certified devices must not be repaired outside approved channels.
Not today. Until the certificates are issued the IS-04Z1 stays out of classified areas, and until launch there is nothing to purchase. You can ask for the datasheet and the certification schedule, or book a safe-area evaluation unit.
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.
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 coal handling and preparation plants (dust, zone 21), fuel and lubricant storage, mine-site power generation, coal loading terminals. 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 Kalimantan coal mining region.
Kalimantan has a tropical climate with frequent heavy rain, so devices in open-pit and barge-loading areas face water, mud and dust together. Users typically want good ingress protection and cleaning routines; check the specification against the mine's rules.
Indonesia has a Domestic Market Obligation requiring miners to allocate a share of production, 25 percent in the cited rule, to the domestic market. It affects shipping and customer mix rather than device choice, but it explains continuous coal handling at ports and power plants.
Open-pit coal sites mainly raise dust hazards at handling and preparation plants, plus gas hazards at fuel storage. The sheet does not assume methane. The operator's classification decides. Confirm with the site operator's HSE team which areas apply.
