Denmark: rules and approvals
Manufacturers who apply the ATEX provisions and affix CE and Ex markings may sell equipment anywhere in the EU without further requirements for those risks, so Danish buyers can use EU-wide certificates.

Field notes · Denmark
More about Denmark that matters for portable equipment
Denmark: projects and investment
Denmark expects to remain self-sufficient in oil until 2050 according to the cited article, so existing offshore and onshore oil facilities are likely to need maintenance work for years to come.
Denmark: industry on the ground
Coal supplied less than 11% of electricity in 2019 and coal-fired generation was scheduled to end by 2028, so biomass and gas plants are replacing coal sites.
Denmark: projects and investment
A target of 100% renewable electricity by 2030 and a wind turbine industry dating from the 1970s mean wind and green-energy projects are a large share of current construction work.
The term · explosion proof
What “explosion proof” means for a smartphone
“Explosion proof” is the phrase most buyers use for equipment that may be taken into a classified hazardous area. Strictly, it covers several protection concepts: a flameproof enclosure (Ex d) contains an internal explosion, while intrinsic safety (Ex i) limits electrical energy so that an ignition cannot start. Phones are normally intrinsically safe, because a flameproof handset would be too heavy to carry all shift.
The IS-04Z1 uses intrinsic safety, with a marking target of Ex ib IIC T4, and is designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21. It is pre-launch, certification is in progress and no certificate has been issued.
In Denmark. Explosion proof is the everyday phrase, but a salt-water deck, a warm wet fermentation hall and an unmanned biogas yard need different thinking. Flameproof Ex d suits fixed equipment; the IS-04Z1 uses intrinsic safety for handhelds. Zone classification here comes from the emergency management agency's executive order. SAMS does not classify areas.
The route · supply
Sourcing the IS-04Z1 for Denmark
There is no stock to order for Denmark yet. The IS-04Z1 is pre-launch, certification is in progress, and supply will run through authorised distributors after the certificates are issued. Procurement teams can prepare now with the datasheet, the certification schedule and a safe-area evaluation.
- 01
Request the datasheet
The technical specification, marking target and conditions of use, sent by email.
- 02
Ask for the certification schedule
Which certificates are in progress, in what order, and what is still to be confirmed.
- 03
Evaluate in a safe area
Evaluation units can be used for connectivity, MDM enrolment and workflow testing outside classified areas.
- 04
Register for launch
Tell us the site, zone, gas group and quantity so the right authorised distributor can contact you.
Questions · Denmark
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an explosion proof cell phone in Denmark 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 explosion proof cell phone in Denmark 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.
Is the IS-04Z1 explosion proof or intrinsically safe?
It is intrinsically safe (marking target Ex ib IIC T4), which is the usual way to make a phone for hazardous areas. It is not a flameproof (Ex d) design, and certification is still in progress.
Which sites in Denmark does this cover?
The market guide for Denmark covers Esbjerg, The Danish North Sea, Fredericia, Kalundborg, among others. Site-level pages are linked below.
How will SAMS supply Denmark?
Through authorised distributors once certificates exist. Until then SAMS can send the datasheet and certification schedule and arrange safe-area evaluation units.
Do Danish offshore platforms require ATEX equipment?
Denmark applies ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU as an EU member, and the directive explicitly covers equipment used on fixed offshore platforms. Operators typically add their own approval, helicopter and survival-suit procedures. Confirm the platform operator's device rules well ahead of a trip.
Is the Danish North Sea still an active market for hazardous-area devices?
Yes, though the sector is mature. Oil and gas production began scaling in the 1980s and continues, with maintenance and decommissioning work. Other hazardous-area work comes from biogas, power and industrial plants. Confirm current projects with operators rather than relying on past production figures.
Is the phone suitable for biogas plants and offshore support work?
It is designed for Zone 1 gas and Zone 21 dust, with four-constellation GNSS and 4G LTE for lone working, but certification is in progress and no certificate exists. Suitability depends on the area classification and gas group at each plant. Check with the plant operator and request the datasheet.
