Climate
Hot, humid equatorial conditions with rain through the year.
The Dumai refinery has operated since 1971, and the Putri Tujuh Dumai and Sungai Pakning refineries together have supplied fuel to Sumatra and contributed to regional development in Riau. Crude processing, storage and marine loading create Zone 1 areas. This page explains what to look for in an Ex-proof smartphone for Dumai Refinery, Riau, and where the IS-04Z1 stands against that list today.
Pre-launch · certification in progress · Launching Q4 2026
Short answer. The SAMS IS-04Z1 is the intrinsically safe smartphone covered here for Dumai Refinery, Riau: pre-launch, designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 (marking target Ex ib IIC T4), with certification in progress and no certificate issued.
Current position: certification in progress, nothing issued, launch targeted for Q4 2026. An operator's own vendor approval is a separate step. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.
| Check | What to look for | IS-04Z1 today |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | Dumai Refinery, Riau: Refinery process units, Crude and product tank farms, Marine loading jetties | Classified by the site operator |

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Dumai Refinery. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
A short profile of the site and the kinds of classified area that matter for portable equipment.
Hot, humid equatorial conditions with rain through the year.
Fortune Indonesia reports the unit has been operating since 1971 and spans Dumai and Sungai Pakning, with products including LPG, jet fuel, diesel and green coke.
Dumai is on the coast of Riau Province in Sumatra and supplies the island with gasoline, aviation fuel, diesel, kerosene and LPG, so it is a regional distribution hub as well as a processing site.
Dumai's crude capacity is quoted at between roughly 127,000 and 170,000 barrels a day depending on the source, which places it among Indonesia's larger refineries.
Products include aviation turbine fuel, fuel oil, diesel, kerosene, solvents, LPG and green coke, so both flammable vapour and petroleum-coke dust may need consideration in area classification.
All six of Indonesia's oil refineries are run by Pertamina, and together they supplied only about half of national fuel demand, which is why upgrade programmes cover the largest units including Dumai.
“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 Dumai Refinery, Riau. A marking check at Dumai would compare the label with the zone, gas group and temperature class assigned to each area. LPG and fuel vapours are typically IIA or IIB, so IIC is conservative. The target marking is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4, which has not been approved.
A short checklist for anyone writing or reviewing the specification, with the IS-04Z1 status against each point.
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.
There is no list price yet. SAMS gives indicative pre-launch pricing in writing, against a stated quantity and site, and does not commit to a lead time before certification completes.
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 refinery process units, crude and product tank farms, marine loading jetties. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
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.
Green coke is a petroleum-coke product, and fine carbon dust can be combustible and conductive. Where it is handled, sites may classify combustible-dust zones, so ask the operator whether your handset needs a dust-rated device and how often it must be cleaned.
Dumai is a coastal port city in Riau Province, so sea freight is practical, and many visitors fly to Pekanbaru and continue by road. Plan for customs clearance in Indonesia and a site gate check, and confirm lead times with your freight agent.
Equatorial heat and rain through the year affect battery performance and seals, so check the rated operating range and charging arrangements. Charge only in safe areas. Rain protection does not equal explosion protection. Confirm the permitted device list with the operator.
