LNG terminal
The Mundra LNG terminal is run by GSPC LNG Limited, a joint venture of GSPC and Adani Enterprises, with a first-phase capacity of 5 million tonnes a year completed in October 2018.
Mundra is a multipurpose private port and Special Economic Zone on the Gulf of Kutch in Gujarat, operated by Adani Ports and SEZ. Mundra is India's first multi-product port-based special economic zone, with a notified area of 6,473 hectares and a planned area of 135 square kilometres. An ATEX and IECEx smartphone distributor in Mundra, Gujarat would carry the IS-04Z1 to these buyers once certification completes.
Pre-launch · certification in progress · Launching Q4 2026
Short answer. Mundra, Gujarat 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. An operator's own vendor approval is a separate step. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Mundra India. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
A short profile of the site and the kinds of classified area that matter for portable equipment.
The Mundra LNG terminal is run by GSPC LNG Limited, a joint venture of GSPC and Adani Enterprises, with a first-phase capacity of 5 million tonnes a year completed in October 2018.
Mundra is a multi-product port-based SEZ with rail, highway and pipeline links, so several industrial operators share the area.
The Gulf of Kutch coast to the west, such as at Kandla, is hot and dry, with April and May maxima around 40 degrees Celsius and low rainfall.
The port is designed for containers, dry bulk, break bulk, liquid cargo and automobiles, so a wide mix of hazards exists across terminals.
Agreements signed in 2002 and later cover crude oil handling for refinery customers, and a single-point mooring became operational in late 2005.
A private rail network of 117 kilometres links Mundra to Adipur, with doubled track and double-stack container trains.
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 Mundra, Gujarat. Mundra is a private port and Special Economic Zone with several operators sharing the area, so reviewers can come from the port operator, the LNG terminal and tenants. A dual ATEX and IECEx route helps international shipping and contractor teams. The IS-04Z1 has no certificate yet, and both routes are in progress.
Distribution of the IS-04Z1 is by authorised partners only, and SAMS has not yet granted a territory for Mundra, Gujarat. Each application is reviewed on its merits. Because opening a certified Ex handset in an ordinary workshop invalidates its certificate, the partner must be able to support and service the device locally.
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 liquid chemical and oil tank terminal, lng regasification terminal, tanker jetties, pipeline 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 Mundra, Gujarat.
Mundra handles containers, bulk and liquid cargo and has a private rail link. Agree customs clearance and last-mile delivery with your forwarder and the operator.
Liquid cargo berths, tank farms, crude oil mooring facilities and chemical handling areas have classified zones. The terminal operators define them, so request the area classification and accepted approvals before taking devices.
Not necessarily. The port operator, the LNG terminal and the tank terminal tenants are separate organisations with their own classification and permits. Confirm requirements with each operator before a device is taken into its area.
