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 Cilacap Refinery, Central Java. A marking check at Cilacap would match the label to the zone, gas group and temperature class assigned to each unit or tank farm. Fuel vapours typically sit within IIA or IIB, so IIC is conservative. The IS-04Z1 target marking is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4, not approved.

Questions · Cilacap Refinery
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an Ex-proof smartphone in Cilacap Refinery 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 Cilacap Refinery 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 Cilacap Refinery, Central Java would use it?
Likely candidates are refinery process units, crude and product tank farms, marine loading facilities. 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.
What products at Cilacap create the main gas hazards?
The complex processes crude into gasoline, diesel, kerosene, aviation fuel and LPG, plus asphalt and petrochemicals. Flammable vapour from light products and pressurised LPG are the usual concerns, but the plant defines its zones, so ask for the current classification.
Why does the number of assets at Cilacap matter for safe equipment choice?
With more than 85,000 maintainable assets and an ongoing safety-critical-element review, the refinery is formalising what is classified and how it is maintained. That usually means device approvals and area classification records are checked closely, so bring documentation.
How wet does Cilacap get, and does it matter for a handset?
The climate is hot and humid with a heavy rainy season, so devices on tank farms and jetties meet rain often. Check sealing and charging arrangements. Rain protection is separate from explosion protection, so confirm the permitted device list with the operator.
