Role
The terminal supplies about half of Singapore's natural gas for power generation, the remainder coming by pipeline.

IECEx Mobile Phone in Singapore LNG
Gas and LNG facilities are covered by Singapore's Workplace Safety and Health framework, and Major Hazard Installations need documented area classification drawings under MOM and SCDF rules. It receives, stores and sends out natural gas, mainly for power generation, so tank, jetty and send-out areas are gas-hazardous. This page explains what to look for in an IECEx mobile phone for Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island, and where the IS-04Z1 stands against that list today.

Short answer. The SAMS IS-04Z1 is the intrinsically safe smartphone covered here for Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island: 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.

More about Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island that matters for portable equipment
Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island: infrastructure
It has two jetties and four storage tanks: three of 180,000 cubic metres and a fourth of 260,000 cubic metres, one of the largest LNG tanks in the world.
Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island: industry on the ground
Natural gas now generates over 90 percent of Singapore's electricity, compared with under 20 percent in 2000, so continuity of send-out is treated as a national energy-security matter.
Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island: projects and investment
SLNG began building a new LNG truck loading facility in August 2025, adding road-tanker loading to the terminal, and describes itself as the owner of Asia's first open-access, multi-user LNG terminal.
Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island: background
When it opened in 2013 the terminal had a single jetty and two storage tanks, and it has been expanded in stages as Singapore's LNG demand grew.
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 Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island. An LNG terminal receives carriers and contractors from many countries, which is where an international scheme helps. IECEx offers a certificate of conformity plus a schedule of conditions that a visiting inspector can read in the same way everywhere. For the IS-04Z1 both are pending, as the programme is in progress.

Specifying an IECEx mobile phone for Singapore LNG
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 · Singapore LNG
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an IECEx mobile phone in Singapore LNG today?
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.
What does an IECEx mobile phone in Singapore LNG 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 Singapore LNG Terminal, Jurong Island would use it?
Likely candidates are lng storage tanks, lng jetties and loading arms, regasification and send-out. 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 hazardous areas does an LNG terminal have?
Typical classified areas include jetty loading arms and manifolds, tank roofs and vent systems, pump and vaporiser areas and send-out metering. Natural gas is typically treated as gas Group IIA, but check the gas group and temperature class against the terminal's own classification.
Will new terminal projects create work for field equipment?
SLNG plans a second offshore terminal by the end of the decade and has expanded the current one in stages. Construction and commissioning phases bring many contractors on site, so approved-equipment lists and induction rules apply from day one; confirm them with the project team.
Which areas of the terminal are classified?
The tank, jetty and send-out areas create Zone 1 and Zone 2 conditions according to the site description, and small-scale reloading is also a gas area. SLNG classifies them. Ask it for the classification drawings and do not assume zones from the general description.
