IECEx Mobile Phone in Kalimantan Mining
Indonesia's coal production reached a record 836 million tonnes in 2024, up from 775 million tonnes in 2023, and the country is the world's largest coal exporter. Hazardous-area work centres on fuel storage, coal handling and preparation, and mine power plants. This page explains what to look for in an IECEx mobile phone for Kalimantan coal mining region, and where the IS-04Z1 stands against that list today.

Short answer. The SAMS IS-04Z1 is the intrinsically safe smartphone covered here for Kalimantan coal mining region: 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. An operator's own vendor approval is a separate step. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.

Kalimantan coal mining region: geography and layout
Indonesia's significant coal deposits are in South Sumatra, East Kalimantan and South Kalimantan, and reserves are estimated to last over 80 years at current rates of extraction.
Kalimantan coal mining region: climate and equipment wear
East Kalimantan has a dry season from May to October and a rainy season from November to April; average humidity in 2013 was between 83 and 87 percent, with temperatures ranging from about 22 to 36 degrees Celsius.
Kalimantan coal mining region: infrastructure
State utility PLN plans additional coal-fired capacity and has begun co-firing biomass at 17 power plants, so mines and power stations are linked by long coal supply chains.
Kalimantan coal mining region: people and language
The coal industry is fragmented, with a few large producers and many small firms, so equipment rules and safety culture can vary widely between neighbouring mine sites.
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 Kalimantan coal mining region. Large coal operators often work with international contractors and equipment suppliers, who know IECEx. A certificate of conformity with a schedule of conditions would be reviewed. For the IS-04Z1 these are targets and not issued, so they cannot yet support specification.

Specifying an IECEx mobile phone for Kalimantan Mining
A short checklist for anyone writing or reviewing the specification, with the IS-04Z1 status against each point.
Check on the paper
- Marking
- Equipment group, category, protection concept, gas group and temperature class, matched to the area drawing.
- Certificate and schedule
- A certificate number, issuing body and the schedule of conditions, not a brochure claim.
- Standards edition
- The IEC 60079 or national standard edition the certificate was issued against.
Check for the IS-04Z1
- Marking target
- II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4: a target, not yet a certificate.
- Certificate status
- IECEx, ATEX, UKEX and NEC 500 in progress; none issued.
- Operator approval
- Separate from the certificate and handled with the site operator.
Questions · Kalimantan Mining
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an IECEx mobile phone in Kalimantan Mining today?
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.
What does an IECEx mobile phone in Kalimantan Mining cost?
No price is published. While certification is in progress there is no list price and no committed lead time, and a supplier quoting a firm figure for an uncertified Ex handset is promising something it cannot stand behind. Indicative pre-launch pricing is issued in writing against a stated quantity and site.
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 areas at Kalimantan coal mining region would use it?
Likely candidates are coal handling and preparation plants (dust, zone 21), fuel and lubricant storage, mine-site power generation, coal loading 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.
What are the main hazardous-area concerns at a Kalimantan coal mine?
Combustible coal dust around crushers, conveyors, stockpiles and loading, plus fuel storage and workshops. Open-pit sites typically have fewer gas risks than underground mines, but the operator defines its zones, so ask for them before using handheld devices.
How should I plan equipment supply for remote Kalimantan sites?
Most deliveries go by sea to Balikpapan, Samarinda or Banjarmasin and then by road or barge, so allow longer lead times. Stock spare batteries and chargers and confirm customs and radio type-approval requirements with your freight agent.
What practical issues come with large contractor-heavy fleets at Kalimantan mines?
Many crews share devices and sites, so enrolment, ownership and return procedures matter. Heat, humidity and dust affect battery and seals. Charge only in safe areas. Check the operator's approved-vendor list before purchase. Confirm the current process with the site operator.
