Pertamina: infrastructure
The six Arun LNG trains near Lhokseumawe in Aceh, with 12.5 million tonnes a year capacity, closed in 2014 for lack of feed gas, and the site now uses an LNG import terminal.

Supplier approval · Pertamina
Supplier registration at Pertamina
Pertamina lists a general procurement programme and an e-procurement system (GEPSMART) on its website; confirm current vendor requirements with Pertamina. The Ex certificate and an organisation's own vendor or engineering approval are two separate timelines; SAMS is working towards both and holds neither today.

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 Pertamina. Around Indonesian refineries explosion-proof is shorthand, but the concepts behind it differ. Flameproof Ex d suits motors, lighting and junction boxes in process units, whereas a handheld phone relies on intrinsic safety, which limits electrical energy. For rounds at Plaju or Balongan the question is therefore which concept protects a portable device, and the IS-04Z1 uses intrinsic safety.

Questions · Pertamina
Frequently asked questions
Can Pertamina buy the IS-04Z1 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 for Pertamina cost?
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.
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.
How does Pertamina approve suppliers?
Pertamina lists a general procurement programme and an e-procurement system (GEPSMART) on its website; confirm current vendor requirements with Pertamina.
How will SAMS supply Pertamina?
Through authorised distributors once certificates exist. Until then SAMS can send the datasheet and certification schedule and arrange safe-area evaluation units.
How does Indonesia's tropical climate affect phone selection?
Most Pertamina sites are hot and humid with heavy rain and coastal salt air, which stresses seals, connectors and batteries. For handheld devices look for strong ingress protection, corrosion resistance and thermal management, and ask the site about its own environmental limits.
Which certification do Indonesian hazardous areas accept?
Indonesia uses its own national standard conformity system alongside recognised international explosive-atmosphere certificates, and oil and gas operators apply their own specifications. Confirm with Pertamina and the site which certificates and local registration are accepted before offering handheld devices.
Which Pertamina sites would a handheld Ex phone be used at?
Typical uses would be the refinery process units at sites such as Dumai, Cilacap and Balongan, plus fuel terminals and production facilities. Which areas count as classified is Pertamina's call. Ask each site's HSE team for its area drawings before checking the IS-04Z1's target marking against them.
