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 Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj). Further units are announced for the complex, which could bring international engineering contractors to Itaborai. For them IECEx offers a familiar certificate of conformity and schedule of conditions. These are plans, so work may be under construction. The IS-04Z1 IECEx route is in progress.

Questions · Itaborai Petrochemical
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an IECEx smartphone in Itaborai Petrochemical 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 smartphone in Itaborai Petrochemical 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 Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj) would use it?
Likely candidates are natural gas processing unit, gas pipeline receiving area, lpg and c5+ product handling, planned refining and lubricant units. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
How do I become a SAMS distributor for Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj)?
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 Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj).
Is the Itaborai site still in construction or operation?
Project listings show the complex has changed scope and name more than once, and published information is dated. Treat any schedule as indicative and confirm current status, contractors and induction requirements with Petrobras or its main contractors before planning equipment.
How do contractors usually travel to Itaborai?
By road via the Niteroi-Manilha highway and the Sao Goncalo to Rio route, with Rio's airport relatively close. Construction-era sites often run staff buses and gate inductions, so confirm transport and device carry rules with the contractor.
Are the planned refining units classified yet?
The sheet treats the base-oil, diesel and jet fuel units as plans, so work may be under construction and classification may not be final. Ask Petrobras what applies to each unit. Confirm documentation requirements with the site operator and its HSE team.
