The term · Ex-proof
What “Ex-proof” means for a smartphone
“Ex-proof” is shorthand for equipment carrying an explosion-protection marking (the Ex mark) that matches the area it enters. The marking states the protection concept, gas or dust group and temperature class, and it must be backed by a certificate issued by a recognised body, so a phone described as Ex-proof should come with a certificate number you can check.
The IS-04Z1 is designed to carry the marking II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4. That is a target: certification is in progress, no certificate has been issued, and SAMS will publish the certificate numbers when they exist.
In Mathura, Uttar Pradesh. A marking check at Mathura would be set against process units, product tank farms and loading gantries. Fuel areas often fall in lower gas groups, though hydrogen-containing units differ. The IS-04Z1 target marking is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4, and the operator's classification decides suitability.

How do I get to Mathura from Delhi?
Mathura is 162 kilometres south-east of Delhi, so most visitors fly into Delhi and continue by road or rail. Agree gate access, security passes and induction times with the operator well before travelling.
Is there a risk that older units differ from newer ones?
The refinery was commissioned in 1982 and expanded in 1989, so units of different ages may have different layouts and classifications. Ask the operator for the current classification of each unit you visit.
Does the absence of a marine terminal at Mathura change the hazard picture?
It removes jetty and ship-loading areas, but process units, tank farms, loading gantries and pipeline pumping stations remain classified. Check the classification of each area you work in. Confirm with the operator which of these areas allow handheld devices.
