Poland: background
Poland produced 78 megatonnes of hard coal and 57 megatonnes of brown coal in 2009, and a plan agreed in September 2020 aims to phase out coal by 2049.

IECEx Cell Phone Supplier in Poland
The IS-04Z1 is an intrinsically safe Android handset designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21, built for the refinery, fertiliser and gas terminal work where Polish teams actually meet an explosive atmosphere. This page sets out how an IECEx cell phone supply route to Poland will work for the IS-04Z1, and what is and is not available before launch.

More about Poland that matters for portable equipment
Poland: industry on the ground
Poland's energy sector is the fifth largest in Europe, with an installed electricity capacity of about 61 GW at the end of 2024, so power plants and mines are large sources of classified areas.
Poland: industry on the ground
In 2020 coal made up 69.5% of national energy production and 68.5% of electricity generation, so coal handling, bunkers and mills create combustible dust zones at many power sites.
Poland: background
PKN Orlen was created in 1999 by merging the state fuel retailer CPN with Petrochemia Płock, the firm running the Płock refineries, and has since grown into a multinational refiner and gas trader.
The term · IECEx
What “IECEx” means for a smartphone
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 Poland. Poland hosts large national operators and international contractors working inside operating plant fences. IECEx gives foreign partners a common reference alongside ATEX, the main product route here. Ask for the certificate of conformity and its schedule of conditions, which record the marking and conditions of use. The IS-04Z1 has none yet issued.
The route · supply
Sourcing the IS-04Z1 for Poland
Supply of the IS-04Z1 to Poland 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
Register for launch
Tell us the site, zone, gas group and quantity so the right authorised distributor can contact you.
Questions · Poland
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an IECEx cell phone in Poland 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 an IECEx cell phone in Poland cost?
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.
Does the IS-04Z1 hold an IECEx certificate?
No. The IECEx certificate is in progress and has not been issued. SAMS will publish the number when it exists.
Which sites in Poland does this cover?
The market guide for Poland covers Płock, Gdańsk, Włocławek, Puławy, among others. Site-level pages are linked below.
How will SAMS supply Poland?
Through authorised distributors once certificates exist. Until then SAMS can send the datasheet and certification schedule and arrange safe-area evaluation units.
Where does Poland's combustible dust risk concentrate?
Coal-fired power stations, including large brown coal plants such as Bełchatów, along with coal-using industry, handle bulk fuel that creates dust zones such as Zone 21 and Zone 22. Check that a device's dust group and temperature class match the site classification drawings.
Do Polish coal mines need different equipment from power plants?
ATEX separates Group I equipment for mining from Group II for surface industries, and underground methane and coal dust conditions differ from surface plant. Check the group marking on any device against the area and the mine operator's own approval procedure.
Can the IS-04Z1 be used in Polish coal mines?
No. It is designed as Group II surface equipment, and underground coal mining is Group I, with a separate certificate for methane and coal dust. Do not take a Group II device underground. Refineries, fertiliser plants and gas terminals are the intended areas, subject to the site operator's classification.
