Hot, humid equatorial conditions with rain through the year.
All six of Indonesia's oil refineries are run by Pertamina, and together they supplied only about half of national fuel demand, which is why upgrade programmes cover the largest units including Dumai. Crude processing, storage and marine loading create Zone 1 areas. This page explains what to look for in an IECEx mobile phone for Dumai Refinery, Riau, 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 Dumai Refinery, Riau: 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Certificate of conformity | Number checkable on the IECEx online register | In progress; not issued |
| Standards edition | The IEC 60079 edition the certificate cites | Stated on the certificate when issued |
| Schedule of conditions | Limits of use, batteries and accessories | Published with the certificate |
| Where it applies | Dumai Refinery, Riau: Refinery process units, Crude and product tank farms, Marine loading jetties | Classified by the site operator |

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Dumai Refinery. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.

Fortune Indonesia reports the unit has been operating since 1971 and spans Dumai and Sungai Pakning, with products including LPG, jet fuel, diesel and green coke.
Dumai lies about 188 km from Pekanbaru and is connected to the Trans-Sumatra Highway and toll road; Pinang Kampai Airport has daily domestic flights to Jakarta, Pekanbaru, Medan and Batam.
The Dumai refinery has operated since 1971, and the Putri Tujuh Dumai and Sungai Pakning refineries together have supplied fuel to Sumatra and contributed to regional development in Riau.
The refinery generates the power it needs from natural gas supplied by fields in South Sumatra and Jambi, including Grissik, Bentu and Jambi Merang, which cuts its fuel cost by about 40 percent.
Dumai is on the coast of Riau Province in Sumatra and supplies the island with gasoline, aviation fuel, diesel, kerosene and LPG, so it is a regional distribution hub as well as a processing 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 Dumai Refinery, Riau. The IECEx scheme gives visiting contractors a familiar reference when they move between Dumai, Sungai Pakning and other refineries. A certificate of conformity plus schedule of conditions would be reviewed. For the IS-04Z1 those documents are targets, not issued.
A short checklist for anyone writing or reviewing the specification, with the IS-04Z1 status against each point.
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.
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 jetties. 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.
Green coke is a petroleum-coke product, and fine carbon dust can be combustible and conductive. Where it is handled, sites may classify combustible-dust zones, so ask the operator whether your handset needs a dust-rated device and how often it must be cleaned.
Dumai is a coastal port city in Riau Province, so sea freight is practical, and many visitors fly to Pekanbaru and continue by road. Plan for customs clearance in Indonesia and a site gate check, and confirm lead times with your freight agent.
Equatorial heat and rain through the year affect battery performance and seals, so check the rated operating range and charging arrangements. Charge only in safe areas. Rain protection does not equal explosion protection. Confirm the permitted device list with the operator.
