Turkey: infrastructure
Electricity supplies about 20% of Turkey's energy and comes mainly from coal, gas and hydro, with a small but growing share from wind, solar and geothermal.

WhereTurkey
Short answer. A hazardous area mobile phone for Turkey cannot be bought yet: the SAMS IS-04Z1 is pre-launch (certification in progress, no certificate issued), and the datasheet, certification schedule and safe-area evaluation units are available now.
Where things stand: the IS-04Z1 has not launched, and none of its four certification routes has produced a certificate yet. An operator's own vendor approval is a separate step. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.

Field notes · Turkey
More about Turkey that matters for portable equipment
Turkey: infrastructure
The Ceyhan marine terminal on the Mediterranean has seven storage tanks and a jetty that can load two tankers of up to 300,000 DWT at once, as the end point of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline.
Turkey: projects and investment
Black Sea gas is forecast to meet all residential demand from the late 2020s, which implies new offshore and onshore gas processing and pipeline work.
Turkey: rules and approvals
Energy policy aims to secure national supply and reduce fossil fuel imports, which accounted for over 20% of the cost of Turkey's imports in 2019, so domestic gas and refining projects are a priority.
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 Turkey. Turkish classified areas follow the coast and then turn inland: Aliağa north of İzmir, the Marmara with the Körfez refinery and Kocaeli, Ceyhan on the Mediterranean, and Kırıkkale and Batman inland. The operator classifies each area. SAMS does not classify any area and designs only for a stated one.
The route · supply
Sourcing the IS-04Z1 for Turkey
Supply of the IS-04Z1 to Turkey starts only after certification, through authorised distributors. Until then a buyer can request the datasheet and the written certification schedule, and arrange a safe-area evaluation unit, which puts the site on the list for the right local channel at launch.
- 01
Request the datasheet
The technical specification, marking target and conditions of use, sent by email.
- 02
Ask for the certification schedule
Which certificates are in progress, in what order, and what is still to be confirmed.
- 03
Evaluate in a safe area
Evaluation units can be used for connectivity, MDM enrolment and workflow testing outside classified areas.
- 04

Questions · Turkey
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy a hazardous area mobile phone in Turkey today?
Not yet. The IS-04Z1 is pre-launch and its certification is still in progress ahead of a Q4 2026 launch. No unit goes into a classified area before the certificate covering it exists. The datasheet, the certification schedule and safe-area evaluation units are available now.
What does a hazardous area mobile phone in Turkey 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 sites in Turkey does this cover?
The market guide for Turkey covers Aliağa, Körfez and Kocaeli, Marmara Ereğlisi, Ceyhan, among others. Site-level pages are linked below.
How will SAMS supply Turkey?
Through authorised distributors once certificates exist. Until then SAMS can send the datasheet and certification schedule and arrange safe-area evaluation units.
How does Turkey's climate affect Ex handheld devices?
Conditions range from hot coastal summers to cold central and eastern winters, so check both the maximum and the lowest ambient ratings on the certificate, the water and dust ingress rating and touch operation with gloves. Coastal terminals also add salt air.
What documentation language is usual for Turkish sites?
Turkish is the working language, and instructions are typically expected in the language of the destination country, with English accepted at some international operators. Provide the certificate, declaration of conformity and Ex marking details, and ask the operator what it requires.
Is Turkish supported on screen and in the documentation?
The sheet states Turkish on the screen and in the file, on Android 16. Confirm the language pack, keyboard and the language of the certificate and manual with the supplier during an evaluation, particularly for contractor crews.
