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 Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area. Across port fuel handling, fertiliser and chemical plants and cement works, explosion-proof covers different realities. Flameproof Ex d suits fixed motors; a handheld used on foot around chemical and fuel areas relies on intrinsic safety; cement dust areas need a dust approach.

Questions · Surabaya
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an explosion proof mobile phone in Surabaya today?
No. Nothing can be bought or taken into a classified area today: certification is in progress and launch is planned for Q4 2026. What is available now is the datasheet, the written certification schedule and evaluation units for safe-area use.
What does an explosion proof mobile phone in Surabaya 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.
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 areas at Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area would use it?
Likely candidates are port fuel and chemical handling, fertiliser and chemical plants, cement plant dust areas, industrial estate chemical plants. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
How do I become a SAMS distributor for Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area?
Apply through the distributor page with your company details and the territory you cover. SAMS reviews applications company by company and has not yet granted a territory for Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area.
Is the climate in Surabaya hard on handheld equipment?
Temperatures are steady, around 23 to 31 degrees, but the wet season from October to May brings heavy rain and humidity, and coastal air adds salt. Devices typically need good ingress protection and cleaning routines for exposed use.
Which industrial areas around Surabaya matter for hazardous-area equipment?
The wider metropolitan area includes Gresik, Sidoarjo and other satellite cities with port-side and industrial plants. Typical hazards include fuel, chemical and bulk handling, so ask each operator for its zone classification and device approval requirements.
Does Gresik count as part of the Surabaya market?
Yes in practice. Gresik lies about 25 kilometres north-west of Surabaya, and its fertiliser and cement works are major buyers of safety equipment. Requirements are set plant by plant. Confirm with each site operator's safety function.
