Field notes · Indonesia
More about Indonesia that matters for portable equipment
Indonesia: geography and layout
Indonesia lies between the Indian and Pacific oceans and includes Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi and parts of Borneo and New Guinea, so field, mine and refinery sites face varied tropical conditions.
Indonesia: geography and layout
Indonesia has between 13,000 and 17,000 islands and covers 1,904,569 square kilometres, so shipping, barges and air freight are central to getting equipment to remote oil and mining sites.
Indonesia: industry on the ground
Pertamina was the third-largest crude oil producer in Indonesia in 2020, behind Mobil Cepu and Chevron Pacific Indonesia, which shows that foreign-operated fields remain significant.
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 Indonesia. An Indonesian marking check would compare gas group, temperature class and category with the zone plan at the refinery, LNG plant or field station. Hydrogen, LNG and crude service may differ, so the group needed follows the operator's classification. The IS-04Z1 marking target is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4, and it is only a target.

Questions · Indonesia
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an Ex-proof mobile phone in Indonesia 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 Indonesia 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.
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 sites in Indonesia does this cover?
The market guide for Indonesia covers Cilacap, Central Java, Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, Dumai, Riau, Balongan, West Java, among others. Site-level pages are linked below.
How will SAMS supply Indonesia?
Through authorised distributors once certificates exist. Until then SAMS can send the datasheet and certification schedule and arrange safe-area evaluation units.
What approval does a phone need in Indonesia?
SDPPI certification is compulsory for radio and telecom equipment, with local testing and a local representative required, a marking requirement and a three-year validity. Expired certificates must be tested as a new model. Confirm the current rules with SDPPI or an accredited agent before importing.
Do I need Indonesian testing even with CE or FCC reports?
A market-access database lists CE and FCC as other recognised schemes, but also notes local testing as required for certification. Foreign reports can therefore help but may not replace testing in Indonesia, so confirm the exact approach with SDPPI or an accredited laboratory.
Which Indonesian approvals apply?
The market guide lists SNI, Komdigi type approval and TKDN work, together with IECEx, as in progress. None has been granted. Requirements for a given project depend on the operator and regulators, so check the current status and ask the site operator before ordering.
