ENAP: who works there
ENAP Sipetrol, the international exploration and production subsidiary founded in 1990, has operations in Argentina, Ecuador and Egypt, so equipment standards may differ between Chilean and overseas assets.

Supplier approval · ENAP
How suppliers reach ENAP
ENAP's website offers a supplier management portal (gestion de proveedores) for joining its vendor community and registering for procurement opportunities. The Ex certificate and an organisation's own vendor or engineering approval are two separate timelines; SAMS is working towards both and holds neither today.

More about ENAP that matters for portable equipment
ENAP: industry on the ground
Its subsidiary ENAP Refinerias operates three refineries, Aconcagua, Bio Bio and Gregorio, with a combined capacity of about 238,000 barrels a day, which represents all of Chile's refining capacity.
ENAP: background
ENAP was created by Law No. 9618 on 19 June 1950 to prospect for and exploit oil in Tierra del Fuego and the Strait of Magellan, where deposits had been found between 1945 and 1950.
ENAP: logistics and access
Aconcagua is linked by pipeline to ENAP's Quintero marine terminal, which has crude and product tanks, pump areas and four moorings, including a single-buoy mooring for Suezmax and VLCC tankers.
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 ENAP. ENAP runs all of Chile's refining capacity, and refinery projects often bring in international EPCs and contractors accustomed to IECEx documents. A certificate of conformity with its schedule of conditions gives ENAP reviewers and these visitors the same document to compare. The IS-04Z1 is designed for IECEx, which is still in progress.
The route · supply
Sourcing the IS-04Z1 for ENAP
Supply of the IS-04Z1 to ENAP 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 · ENAP
Frequently asked questions
Can ENAP buy the IS-04Z1 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 for ENAP cost?
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.
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.
How does ENAP approve suppliers?
ENAP's website offers a supplier management portal (gestion de proveedores) for joining its vendor community and registering for procurement opportunities.
How will SAMS supply ENAP?
Through authorised distributors once certificates exist. Until then SAMS can send the datasheet and certification schedule and arrange safe-area evaluation units.
What language should documentation be in for ENAP projects?
Spanish is the working language in Chile, so user guides, safety data and training are normally expected in Spanish, with English often acceptable for engineering review. Ask ENAP's procurement or safety team which format their approval process requires before submitting material.
How is equipment approved at ENAP?
Approval is run by ENAP itself, normally through its engineering, HSE and contractor management processes, and relies on recognised explosive-atmosphere certification. There is no public approved list, so confirm the current route and certificates accepted with ENAP's procurement before offering devices.
Does Magallanes weather change the choice of handset?
It can. The Gregorio refinery in Magallanes is colder and windier than central Chile, so battery capacity in cold and glove use matter. Check the device's stated operating temperature range against site conditions. IP68 helps with rain and dust but is not explosion protection. Confirm with ENAP's HSE team.
