Large terminal
TEBIG has ten oil tanks totalling 845,557 cubic metres and two piers able to take vessels of up to 500,000 DWT.
Angra dos Reis is a municipality in the south of Rio de Janeiro state on Ilha Grande bay. It hosts the Transpetro TEBIG crude oil terminal and the BrasFELS shipyard, so tank-farm, tanker-berth and offshore-unit fabrication hazardous areas are both present. Distribution partners for Angra dos Reis are being identified ahead of the Q4 2026 launch of the IS-04Z1.
Pre-launch · certification in progress · Launching Q4 2026
Short answer. Angra dos Reis has no appointed SAMS distributor yet: the IS-04Z1 is pre-launch (certification in progress, no certificate issued, launch planned for Q4 2026), and distributor applications are open.
For the record, no certificate exists for the IS-04Z1 today. The programme is under way ahead of a Q4 2026 launch. A buyer's engineering review is separate from the certificate. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.

|---|---|---|
| Ex marking | Group, category, protection concept, gas group, temperature class | II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4 (target) |
| Gas group | IIA, IIB or IIC matched to the area drawing | IIC (target) |
| Temperature class | T-class below the ignition temperature of the gas | T4, 135 °C (target) |
| Where it applies | Angra dos Reis: Shipyard offshore-unit fabrication and integration, Bunker fuel barge supply, Crude oil tank storage | Classified by the site operator |

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Angra dos Reis. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
The companies on site and the hazardous-area types a handset is likely to meet there.
TEBIG has ten oil tanks totalling 845,557 cubic metres and two piers able to take vessels of up to 500,000 DWT.
BrasFELS covers 52 hectares with dry docks and gantry cranes of 660 and 2,000 tonnes, and has worked on FPSO topside modules.
The port of Angra dos Reis includes an oil terminal, and the TEBIG facility used by Petrobras in the Bay of Ilha Grande moves large quantities of crude oil, which makes it one of the busiest ports in Brazil.
The semisubmersible platform P-56 was integrated at BrasFELS: about 54,658 tonnes, living quarters for 200 people, 79 risers and a power plant of 100 MW, built with a 72.9 percent domestic content index for its topside.
The municipality covers 816 km2, has a tropical monsoon climate, hilly terrain and more than 300 islands, the largest being Ilha Grande, so many work locations are coastal or island sites.
Construction of a third unit, Angra 3, began in 1984, was halted in 1986 and again in 2015, and in 2024 the operator Eletronuclear won a court appeal against a municipal work embargo.
“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 Angra dos Reis. A marking check at TEBIG's tank storage or tanker piers would compare the zone, gas group and temperature class on the label with what the terminal has classified. Shipyard units under integration may differ from the terminal. The IS-04Z1 target marking II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4 is a target, not a certificate.
Distribution of the IS-04Z1 is by authorised partners only, and SAMS has not yet granted a territory for Angra dos Reis. Each application is reviewed on its merits. Because opening a certified Ex handset in an ordinary workshop invalidates its certificate, the partner must be able to support and service the device locally.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Apply through the distributor page with your company details and the territory you cover. SAMS reviews applications company by company and has not yet granted a territory for Angra dos Reis.
Often only within the shipyard's own rules. Classified areas on hulls, tanks and process modules are usually managed with permits and gas testing, and devices may need to be certified for the relevant zone. Confirm the zone, gas group and temperature class with the yard before bringing equipment.
Typically the crude oil terminal, tanker berths and offshore-unit outfitting at the shipyard, where flammable gas or vapour can be present. The nuclear plant is controlled separately by its operator, so confirm device rules and zone classification with each site owner.
Ex equipment in Brazil goes through Inmetro-accredited certification bodies, so a purchaser should expect to ask for that route. The IS-04Z1 is not yet certified. Confirm documentation requirements with the site operator and its HSE team before ordering.
