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 Pekanbaru and the Rokan block, Riau. A marking check on the Rokan block would compare a label with zones at gathering stations, treatment and storage. Crude and associated gas vapours are typically IIA or IIB, so IIC is conservative. The IS-04Z1 target marking is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4, not approved.
