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 Angra dos Reis. Reviewers at the TEBIG crude terminal or the BrasFELS yard in Angra dos Reis are likely to want clear certificate evidence, and Ex equipment in Brazil goes through Inmetro-accredited certification bodies. A dual ATEX and IECEx route is designed to help international yard clients and shipowners. The IS-04Z1 has no certificate yet.

Questions · Angra dos Reis
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an ATEX and IECEx smartphone in Angra dos Reis 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 Angra dos Reis 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 Angra dos Reis would use it?
Likely candidates are crude oil tank storage, tanker piers and loading arms, shipyard offshore-unit fabrication and integration, bunker fuel barge supply. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
Is intrinsically safe the same as explosion proof?
Not exactly. Explosion proof is a broad everyday term; intrinsic safety is one protection concept, which limits energy so ignition cannot occur. Flameproof (Ex d) is a different concept that contains an explosion. The IS-04Z1 is intrinsically safe by design.
Does the coastal humidity at Angra dos Reis affect phone and tablet choice?
Yes, typically. A tropical monsoon climate and sea air mean high humidity and salt, so look for sealed housings, corrosion-resistant connectors and tidy cable or charging practice. Confirm with the site safety officer what ingress protection level their permit-to-work process expects.
How do crews reach island or offshore worksites from Angra dos Reis?
Access is generally by boat across the Bay of Ilha Grande, with many of the 300-plus islands reachable only by sea, and some units are later towed to the Campos Basin. Confirm boarding and carry-on rules for powered devices with the vessel operator.
How does the tropical climate affect handsets on piers and in the yard?
Rain, humidity and salt air are routine, so check enclosure rating, seal condition and charging contacts regularly. IP68 resists water and dust but is not explosion protection. Because ingress protection and travel time both matter on this coast, keep a spare device ready.
