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 Mundra, Gujarat. A marking check at Mundra should compare the device against the cargo: crude oil and chemicals may be classified, while edible oils are generally less hazardous. LNG areas involve light gas. The IS-04Z1 target marking is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4, and the operator's classification decides suitability.

Questions · Mundra India
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an Ex-proof mobile phone in Mundra India 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 Ex-proof mobile phone in Mundra India cost?

What Ex marking will the IS-04Z1 carry?
The marking target is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4. It becomes a marking only when the certificate is issued; until then it is a design target.
Which areas at Mundra, Gujarat would use it?
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.
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.
How large is the Mundra special economic zone?
The notified multi-product zone covers 6,473 hectares, with a planned area of 135 square kilometres. Many companies operate inside it, each with its own site rules.
How dry is the Mundra region?
The nearby Kandla area has low rainfall of about 322 millimetres a year and April and May maxima around 40 degrees Celsius. Dust and salt air are likely, so check ingress and corrosion ratings.
Which cargo types at Mundra matter most when choosing a device?
Crude oil and chemicals matter most because they create hazardous areas around tanks and jetties, and LNG adds light-gas areas. Edible oils are generally less hazardous. The classification record for each area decides, so ask the terminal operator for its gas groups and temperature classes.
