Explosion-Proof Smartphone in Singapore LNG
The SLNG Terminal sits on a 40-hectare plot at the southern-most tip of Jurong Island and began commercial operations in May 2013. It has two jetties and four storage tanks: three of 180,000 cubic metres and a fourth of 260,000 cubic metres, one of the largest LNG tanks in the world. This page explains what to look for in an explosion proof smartphone for Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island, and where the IS-04Z1 stands against that list today.

SLNG plans to develop a second LNG terminal, an offshore facility slated to be operational by the end of the decade, in addition to the Jurong Island terminal.
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 Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island. On an LNG site, explosion-proof is a loose label. Flameproof Ex d suits fixed equipment such as pump motors at the send-out area, while a handheld phone used near tanks and loading arms depends on intrinsic safety. The IS-04Z1 is designed for the latter, with certification in progress.

Specifying an explosion proof smartphone for Singapore LNG
A short checklist for anyone writing or reviewing the specification, with the IS-04Z1 status against each point.
Check on the paper
- Marking
- Equipment group, category, protection concept, gas group and temperature class, matched to the area drawing.
- Certificate and schedule
- A certificate number, issuing body and the schedule of conditions, not a brochure claim.
- Standards edition
- The IEC 60079 or national standard edition the certificate was issued against.
Check for the IS-04Z1
- Marking target
- II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4: a target, not yet a certificate.
- Certificate status
- IECEx, ATEX, UKEX and NEC 500 in progress; none issued.
- Operator approval
- Separate from the certificate and handled with the site operator.
Questions · Singapore LNG
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an explosion proof smartphone in Singapore LNG 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 smartphone in Singapore LNG 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 Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island would use it?
Likely candidates are lng storage tanks, lng jetties and loading arms, regasification and send-out. 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.
What hazardous areas does an LNG terminal have?
Typical classified areas include jetty loading arms and manifolds, tank roofs and vent systems, pump and vaporiser areas and send-out metering. Natural gas is typically treated as gas Group IIA, but check the gas group and temperature class against the terminal's own classification.
Will new terminal projects create work for field equipment?
SLNG plans a second offshore terminal by the end of the decade and has expanded the current one in stages. Construction and commissioning phases bring many contractors on site, so approved-equipment lists and induction rules apply from day one; confirm them with the project team.
Which areas of the terminal are classified?
The tank, jetty and send-out areas create Zone 1 and Zone 2 conditions according to the site description, and small-scale reloading is also a gas area. SLNG classifies them. Ask it for the classification drawings and do not assume zones from the general description.
