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 Panipat, Haryana. Panipat's hazardous areas include refinery process units, the naphtha cracker and petrochemical units, product tank farms and loading gantries. Indian Oil, the operator, classifies its own areas, including any new units. PESO is the national regulator, and SAMS has no role in classifying any area.

Likely candidates are refinery process units, naphtha cracker and petrochemical units, product tank farms, loading gantries. 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 Panipat, Haryana?
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 Panipat, Haryana.
Does the cold north Indian winter matter for handsets?

How do I reach Panipat from Delhi?
Panipat is 95 kilometres north of Delhi on NH-44 and 169 kilometres south of Chandigarh, so it is normally reached by road from Delhi. Confirm gate procedures and security passes with the operator in advance.
