The term · hazardous area
What “hazardous area” means for a smartphone
A hazardous area is a place where flammable gas, vapour or combustible dust may be present. Standards divide these into zones: Zones 0, 1 and 2 for gas and vapour, and Zones 20, 21 and 22 for dust. Zone 1 and Zone 21 are the tier where an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation, which is where the IS-04Z1 is designed to work. Anything carried in must be marked for the zone, gas group and temperature class of the area.
No certificate has been issued for the IS-04Z1 yet, so it must not be taken into a classified area until the certificate covering it exists and the site operator has accepted it.
In Keppel Shipyard (now Seatrium yards), Singapore. Classified areas at the yards include vessel tank and cargo spaces, offshore unit and FPSO conversion, paint and solvent areas and dry dock work. They change with the job, and permits and gas-free certification are handled per vessel. The yard classifies, not SAMS, so ask the yard safety department.

How do I arrange contractor access to a Seatrium yard?
Access is normally arranged through the yard or the vessel owner's project team, with induction, a site pass and a hot-work or gas-free permit system. Addresses for each yard are listed publicly, but you need a named sponsor. Ask them for the equipment rules before shipping devices.
Who controls device approval at a shipyard?
Shipyards control permits and gas-free certification per vessel, so approval can differ from job to job. Confirm device rules with the yard safety department, and expect to explain the marking, the certification status and how the device will be charged outside hazardous spaces.
