Services
On-site services include vessel testing and afloat repairs, hot works, modular and steel fabrication, and storage for hazardous materials including Class 1.4 explosives.
Loyang Offshore Supply Base in eastern Singapore, near Changi Airport, is run by Toll Offshore Petroleum Services (TOPS). Security is manned around the clock with strict access requirements and video surveillance, so visitors and contractors should expect pre-registration and screening at the gate. This page explains what to look for in a hazardous area smartphone for Loyang Offshore Supply Base, and where the IS-04Z1 stands against that list today.
Pre-launch · certification in progress · Launching Q4 2026
Short answer. The SAMS IS-04Z1 is the intrinsically safe smartphone covered here for Loyang Offshore Supply Base: pre-launch, designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 (marking target Ex ib IIC T4), with certification in progress and no certificate issued.
Where things stand: the IS-04Z1 has not launched, and none of its four certification routes has produced a certificate yet. A buyer's engineering review is separate from the certificate. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.
| Check | What to look for | IS-04Z1 today |
|---|---|---|
| Zone | 0, 1 or 2 for gas; 20, 21 or 22 for dust | Designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 |
| Gas group | IIA, IIB or IIC | IIC (target) |

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Loyang Offshore. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
A short profile of the site and the kinds of classified area that matter for portable equipment.
On-site services include vessel testing and afloat repairs, hot works, modular and steel fabrication, and storage for hazardous materials including Class 1.4 explosives.
The base is near Changi Airport and away from the western petrochemical cluster, so work centres on offshore equipment, vessel support and logistics.
The surrounding Loyang industrial estate in Pasir Ris mainly hosts aviation-related services because of its closeness to Changi Airport, so visitors will find airport-linked businesses alongside the offshore supply base.
Its wharf can serve more than 11 vessels at the same time, so supply boats and offshore equipment move through the base continuously.
The site covers 32 hectares in eastern Singapore, close to the aviation and marine hub, which places it away from the Jurong industrial cluster in the west.
Equatorial heat, humidity and sudden heavy showers affect an open wharf and yard, so portable devices used outdoors need good ingress protection and handling discipline.
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 Loyang Offshore Supply Base. The base has offshore equipment workshops, chemical and fuel storage, and port and quay handling. Tenants have their own safety rules, so classification differs by tenant and is set by the tenant, not SAMS. Ask the tenant's HSE team which areas, if any, are classified.
A short checklist for anyone writing or reviewing the specification, with the IS-04Z1 status against each point.
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.
There is no list price yet. SAMS gives indicative pre-launch pricing in writing, against a stated quantity and site, and does not commit to a lead time before certification completes.
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.
Likely candidates are offshore equipment workshops, hazardous materials storage, wharf and vessel quay handling, hot works and afloat repair areas. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
Not exactly. Explosion proof is a broad everyday term; intrinsic safety is one protection concept, which limits energy so ignition cannot occur. Flameproof (Ex d) is a different concept that contains an explosion. The IS-04Z1 is intrinsically safe by design.
The base is operated by Toll Offshore Petroleum Services, part of Toll Group, and covers 32 hectares in eastern Singapore. Because it is a managed logistics site, tenant and contractor rules are normally set by the operator and by each tenant's own HSE team.
Yes in places: workshops, fuel and chemical stores, and equipment being prepared for offshore service can create classified areas, while the wharf area is mostly open air. The classification varies by building and tenant, so ask the tenant for its zone plan.
Not wholly. The base has workshops, storage and quay handling, and which tenants hold classified areas has not been verified. Chemical and fuel storage may be classified. Ask the tenant's HSE team or the base operator before assuming an Ex rating is required for the task.
