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 Pekanbaru and the Rokan block, Riau. The classified areas are gathering stations, wellheads and flowlines, oil treatment and storage, and steam generation and power facilities. PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan classifies them, not SAMS. Pekanbaru itself is a support city, so ask for the field's zone drawings.

Questions · Pekanbaru Oil Field
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy a hazardous area mobile phone in Pekanbaru Oil Field 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 a hazardous area mobile phone in Pekanbaru Oil Field 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.
Which hazardous areas is the IS-04Z1 designed for?
Zone 1 and Zone 21 (gas and dust) with gas group IIC and temperature class T4, subject to certification. It must not be used in a classified area before its certificate is issued and the site has accepted it.
Which areas at Pekanbaru and the Rokan block, Riau would use it?
Likely candidates are gathering stations, wellheads and flowlines, oil treatment and storage, steam generation and power facilities. 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 Pekanbaru and the Rokan block, Riau?
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 Pekanbaru and the Rokan block, Riau.
What hazardous areas are common in a mature oil field like Rokan?
Typical areas include wellheads, flowlines, gathering stations, tank farms, pump stations and loading facilities, where flammable vapour can be released. The operator sets the zones, so confirm the classification for each facility rather than assuming one rule for the whole field.
How do I get equipment to the Pekanbaru oil region?
The first road linking Pekanbaru with Dumai was built for the oilfield, and roads and a pipeline connect the Duri area to the Dumai port. Plan for customs clearance in Indonesia and site gate checks on electronics, and confirm lead times and import rules with your freight agent.
Is Pekanbaru itself a hazardous area?
No, Pekanbaru is the regional support city for the block. Hazardous areas are in the field facilities, such as gathering stations and treatment plants. Office and workshop areas usually follow normal rules. Ask the operator which areas are classified.
