Hungary: infrastructure
Four operating reactors built between 1982 and 1987 form the Paks Nuclear Power Plant, and nuclear is the main domestic energy source, with almost half of Hungary's energy imported as of 2024.

More about Hungary that matters for portable equipment
Hungary: who works there
MOL is active in exploration and production, refining, distribution, petrochemicals, power generation, trading and retail, with operations in over 30 countries and 2,400 service stations in ten countries as of 2025.
Hungary: industry on the ground
MOL's Danube Refinery at Százhalombatta started up in 1965 and has a capacity of about 8.1 million tonnes a year, making it one of the largest refineries in Central and Eastern Europe.
Hungary: industry on the ground
The Matra power plant, the last coal electricity producer, supplied about 9% of Hungary's electricity in 2020 and was served by coal mines in Visonta and Bükkábrány, with a gas combined-cycle replacement planned.
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 Hungary. A Hungarian reviewer at MOL, Tiszaújváros or a pharmaceutical plant would expect ATEX evidence consistent with the EU directive and the national decree that implements it. IECEx papers help international EPCs and contractors working across several countries. A dual route lets one pack serve both audiences. Certification is in progress; no certificate has been issued.

Sourcing the IS-04Z1 for Hungary
Nothing can be bought for Hungary today: the IS-04Z1 is pre-launch, and SAMS will supply end users through authorised distributors once certificates exist.

- 01
Request the datasheet
The technical specification, marking target and conditions of use, sent by email.
- 02
Ask for the certification schedule
Which certificates are in progress, in what order, and what is still to be confirmed.
- 03
Evaluate in a safe area
Evaluation units can be used for connectivity, MDM enrolment and workflow testing outside classified areas.
- 04

Questions · Hungary
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an ATEX and IECEx smartphone in Hungary 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 Hungary cost?
No price is published. While certification is in progress there is no list price and no committed lead time, and a supplier quoting a firm figure for an uncertified Ex handset is promising something it cannot stand behind. Indicative pre-launch pricing is issued in writing against a stated 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 sites in Hungary does this cover?
The market guide for Hungary covers Százhalombatta, Tiszaújváros, Kazincbarcika, Dorog, among others. Site-level pages are linked below.
How will SAMS supply Hungary?
Through authorised distributors once certificates exist. Until then SAMS can send the datasheet and certification schedule and arrange safe-area evaluation units.
How does Hungary's winter weather affect Ex handheld devices?
Continental winters can bring sub-zero temperatures, which reduce battery capacity. Check the lowest rated ambient temperature on the certificate and whether touch input works with gloves. Plan spare batteries and warm storage for outdoor work at refineries and pipeline stations.
Which Hungarian companies run the main classified-area sites?
MOL is the largest integrated oil, gas and petrochemical group, and the Paks plant and gas network operators also have hazardous areas. Each company runs its own supplier approval, so contact its procurement and HSE teams for current device and contractor requirements.
Can one device cover both a refinery and a pharmaceutical plant?
Gas groups, dust and temperature needs differ between a refinery and a solvent suite. A device would need a marking that suits each classification. Check each plant's zone documents, since the answer depends on the operator's classification rather than the device alone.
