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 Mundra, Gujarat. Mundra's hazardous areas include the liquid chemical and oil tank terminal, the LNG regasification terminal, tanker jetties and pipeline terminals. Adani Ports and SEZ and GSPC LNG Limited classify their own areas. PESO is the national regulator, and SAMS has no role in classifying any area.

Questions · Mundra India
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy a hazardous area smartphone in Mundra India today?
No. Nothing can be bought or taken into a classified area today: certification is in progress and launch is planned for Q4 2026. What is available now is the datasheet, the written certification schedule and evaluation units for safe-area use.
What does a hazardous area smartphone in Mundra India cost?
SAMS has not published a price. Any figure you are offered for an uncertified Ex phone should be treated with caution; written indicative pricing is available for a defined 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 Mundra, Gujarat would use it?
Likely candidates are liquid chemical and oil tank terminal, lng regasification terminal, tanker jetties, pipeline terminals. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
Is intrinsically safe the same as explosion proof?
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.
How large is the Mundra special economic zone?
The notified multi-product zone covers 6,473 hectares, with a planned area of 135 square kilometres. Many companies operate inside it, each with its own site rules.
How dry is the Mundra region?
The nearby Kandla area has low rainfall of about 322 millimetres a year and April and May maxima around 40 degrees Celsius. Dust and salt air are likely, so check ingress and corrosion ratings.
Which cargo types at Mundra matter most when choosing a device?
Crude oil and chemicals matter most because they create hazardous areas around tanks and jetties, and LNG adds light-gas areas. Edible oils are generally less hazardous. The classification record for each area decides, so ask the terminal operator for its gas groups and temperature classes.
