Explosion-Proof Smartphone Distributor in Singapore Refinery

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.

SAMS has not published a price. Any figure you are offered for an uncertified Ex phone should be treated with caution; written indicative pricing is available for a defined quantity and site.

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.

Likely candidates are refinery process units, crude and product storage, jetties, utility and cogeneration areas. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.

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 Singapore refineries.

One refinery on Jurong Island publishes a ban on mobile phones and other electrical or electronic equipment in its process plant and classified hazardous areas. Devices certified for the zone may be allowed only with prior approval, so ask your sponsor before the visit.

Typically a visitor pass at the island checkpoint, a plant security pass, an indemnity form, security screening, declaration of electronic equipment and an escort by a named sponsor for the whole visit. Allow extra time at the gate and arrive with approved paperwork.

Hydrogen is a Group IIC gas, so any unit handling it can call for IIC equipment, whereas many fuels fall in IIA or IIB. The IS-04Z1 target marking includes IIC but is not yet issued. Ask the refinery which units hold hydrogen.
