Indonesia: background
Pertamina was created in August 1968 by merging Pertamin, founded in 1961, and Permina, founded in 1957 from nationalised Shell assets, and it is headquartered in Jakarta.
A Zone 1 and Zone 21 handset for Indonesian operators, mechanics, inspectors and contractor crews working across an archipelago where the nearest replacement device is often a flight away. Buyers searching for an IECEx cell phone supplier for Indonesia can take the datasheet and the certification schedule for the IS-04Z1 now; supply follows certification.
Pre-launch · certification in progress · Launching Q4 2026
Short answer. An IECEx cell phone for Indonesia 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.
For the record, no certificate exists for the IS-04Z1 today. The programme is under way ahead of a Q4 2026 launch. A buyer's engineering review is separate from the certificate. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Indonesia. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
The classified areas, operators and sites below are the ones covered in the SAMS Indonesia market guide.
Pertamina was created in August 1968 by merging Pertamin, founded in 1961, and Permina, founded in 1957 from nationalised Shell assets, and it is headquartered in Jakarta.
Pertamina operates six oil refineries with a combined capacity of around 1 million barrels a day, as of 2013, and has not built a new refinery since Balongan opened in West Java in the mid-1990s.
Radio and telecom equipment certification by SDPPI is compulsory in Indonesia, with a three-year validity, local testing and a local representative required, and a marking requirement.
Technical requirements for 5G devices follow Perdirgen No. 5/2021, so 5G-capable phones are tested against that rule as part of SDPPI certification.
IECEx is the international scheme for certifying equipment used in explosive atmospheres. A certificate of conformity is issued by an accredited certification body against a specific edition of the IEC 60079 standards and carries a schedule of conditions of safe use. It is not a legal requirement in most countries on its own, but many national schemes accept it as the technical basis.
The IECEx certificate for the IS-04Z1 is in progress and has not been issued. The marking target is Ex ib IIC T4, the intrinsic safety concept for Zone 1 gas with the hardest gas group (IIC) and a 135 °C temperature class.
In Indonesia. Indonesian refineries, LNG plants and fields work with international operators and EPCs, for which IECEx is the common reference. A certificate of conformity names the equipment, and its schedule of conditions sets the conditions of use. IECEx certification for the IS-04Z1 is in progress; local type approval and TKDN work is also in progress.
Nothing can be bought for Indonesia today: the IS-04Z1 is pre-launch, and SAMS will supply end users through authorised distributors once certificates exist. What a buyer can do now is take the specification, ask for the written certification schedule and arrange a safe-area evaluation, so that the right local channel contacts you at launch.
The technical specification, marking target and conditions of use, sent by email.
Which certificates are in progress, in what order, and what is still to be confirmed.
Evaluation units can be used for connectivity, MDM enrolment and workflow testing outside classified areas.
Tell us the site, zone, gas group and quantity so the right authorised distributor can contact you.
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.
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.
No. The IECEx certificate is in progress and has not been issued. SAMS will publish the number when it exists.
The market guide for Indonesia covers Cilacap, Central Java, Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, Dumai, Riau, Balongan, West Java, among others. Site-level pages are linked below.
Through authorised distributors once certificates exist. Until then SAMS can send the datasheet and certification schedule and arrange safe-area evaluation units.
Tropical sites typically combine heat, high humidity, heavy rain and, near the coast, salt air, so check ingress protection, corrosion resistance and operating temperature range. Confirm site-specific requirements with the operator, including any area classification and approved-device lists.
With thousands of islands, many sites are reached by sea or air, and delays are common. Plan extra lead time and spares for devices, chargers and batteries, and ask the operator or contractor about shipping, customs and site approval rules for each island location.
Supply after certification would be through authorised distributors, and none has been appointed yet. For remote sites, ask about spares, replacement time and training before purchase, and agree the logistics route with the operator. Trial units can be tested to check connectivity and battery use first.
