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 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.

The route · distribution

Distributing the IS-04Z1 in Angra dos Reis

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.

Questions · Angra dos Reis

Frequently asked questions

Can we buy an Ex-proof smartphone in Angra dos Reis 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 Ex-proof smartphone in Angra dos Reis 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.

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 Angra dos Reis would use it?

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.

How do I become a SAMS distributor for Angra dos Reis?

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.

Can I use a mobile device during offshore unit outfitting at a shipyard?

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.

Which Angra dos Reis activities usually involve hazardous-area handheld devices?

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.

Is Inmetro certification needed for Ex handsets used at Angra dos Reis?

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.
