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 Loyang Offshore Supply Base. Which tenants hold classified areas is not verified, so a marking check at Loyang starts with the tenant. Where chemical and fuel storage is classified, read the zone, gas group and temperature class from that tenant's classification. The IS-04Z1 target marking is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4.

Questions · Loyang Offshore
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an Ex-proof smartphone in Loyang Offshore today?
Not today. Until the certificates are issued the IS-04Z1 stays out of classified areas, and until launch there is nothing to purchase. You can ask for the datasheet and the certification schedule, or book a safe-area evaluation unit.
What does an Ex-proof smartphone in Loyang Offshore cost?
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.
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 Loyang Offshore Supply Base would use it?
Likely candidates are offshore equipment workshops, hazardous materials storage, wharf and vessel quay handling, hot works and afloat repair areas. 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.
Who runs the Loyang Offshore Supply Base?
The base is operated by Toll Offshore Petroleum Services, part of Toll Group, and covers 32 hectares in eastern Singapore. Because it is a managed logistics site, tenant and contractor rules are normally set by the operator and by each tenant's own HSE team.
Are there hazardous areas at an offshore supply base?
Yes in places: workshops, fuel and chemical stores, and equipment being prepared for offshore service can create classified areas, while the wharf area is mostly open air. The classification varies by building and tenant, so ask the tenant for its zone plan.
Is Loyang a hazardous-area site?
Not wholly. The base has workshops, storage and quay handling, and which tenants hold classified areas has not been verified. Chemical and fuel storage may be classified. Ask the tenant's HSE team or the base operator before assuming an Ex rating is required for the task.
