A short profile of the site and the kinds of classified area that matter for portable equipment.
Fortune Indonesia lists Cilacap as the largest Pertamina refinery and reports it supplies about a third of national fuel demand.
Sources quote 345,000 to 348,000 barrels per day, so check the current rating with the operator.
Cilacap is Indonesia's largest refinery at about 348 thousand barrels a day, ahead of Balikpapan, Dumai, Musi, Balongan and Tuban, which together made up the national refining capacity of 1.15 million barrels a day at the end of 2024.
Cilacap's port is one of only a few on Java's southern coast able to handle ships of reasonable tonnage, sheltered by Nusakambangan island, and Tunggul Wulung Airport offers scheduled flights to Jakarta and Semarang.
PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional, a Pertamina subsidiary, manages the refinery and has appointed outside consultants for asset integrity work, so contractor engagement typically runs through that company's procurement rules.
The asset programme includes a physical verification of the facility, an equipment criticality assessment and identification of safety critical elements, which shows asset registers and safety-critical equipment lists are being formalised on site.
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 Cilacap Refinery, Central Java. For a refinery of this size, outside contractors and turnaround specialists often know the IECEx scheme. A certificate of conformity with a schedule of conditions would be the shared document. For the IS-04Z1 these are targets and not yet issued, so they cannot support a purchase today.
Distribution of the IS-04Z1 is by authorised partners only, and SAMS has not yet granted a territory for Cilacap Refinery, Central Java. Each application is reviewed on its merits. Because opening a certified Ex handset in an ordinary workshop invalidates its certificate, the partner must be able to support and service the device locally.
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.
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.
Likely candidates are refinery process units, crude and product tank farms, marine loading facilities. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
Apply through the distributor page with your company details and the territory you cover. SAMS reviews applications company by company and has not yet granted a territory for Cilacap Refinery, Central Java.
It can be, because a refinery of this size typically runs continuous operations and periodic turnarounds that need many handheld devices. Plan spares, batteries and chargers in line with site rules, and check import and radio type-approval requirements first.
Refinery Unit IV is part of Pertamina's refining business under PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional. Suppliers and contractors typically register through Pertamina procurement and follow the unit's own safety induction and permit-to-work rules, so confirm the current route with the refinery.
Only indirectly. Published capacity figures vary slightly, but what matters for a device is the area classification and the operator's approval rules. Ask Pertamina for the current zone drawings and equipment procedure. Confirm with the site operator.
