Field notes · Loyang Offshore Supply Base
More about Loyang Offshore Supply Base that matters for portable equipment
Loyang Offshore Supply Base: industry on the ground
The surrounding Loyang industrial estate in Pasir Ris mainly hosts aviation-related services because of its closeness to Changi Airport, so visitors will find airport-linked businesses alongside the offshore supply base.
Loyang Offshore Supply Base: logistics and access
Its wharf can serve more than 11 vessels at the same time, so supply boats and offshore equipment move through the base continuously.
Loyang Offshore Supply Base: geography and layout
The site covers 32 hectares in eastern Singapore, close to the aviation and marine hub, which places it away from the Jurong industrial cluster in the west.
Loyang Offshore Supply Base: climate and equipment wear
Equatorial heat, humidity and sudden heavy showers affect an open wharf and yard, so portable devices used outdoors need good ingress protection and handling discipline.
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 Loyang Offshore Supply Base. Offshore service companies at Loyang ship equipment to projects worldwide, so IECEx is a natural shared reference for them. A certificate of conformity and schedule of conditions would be the documents reviewed. For the IS-04Z1 these are targets only, as certification is in progress.

Questions · Loyang Offshore
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an IECEx smartphone in Loyang Offshore 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 Loyang Offshore cost?
There is no list price yet. SAMS gives indicative pre-launch pricing in writing, against a stated quantity and site, and does not commit to a lead time before certification completes.
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 Loyang Offshore Supply Base would use it?
Likely candidates are offshore equipment workshops, hazardous materials storage, wharf and vessel quay handling, hot works and afloat repair areas. 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 Loyang Offshore Supply Base?
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 Loyang Offshore Supply Base.
What access controls should I expect at Loyang?
The operator describes round-the-clock manned security, strict access requirements and video surveillance. Expect to be registered in advance and screened at the gate, with any electronic equipment declared. Confirm exact steps with the host company before travelling.
Why does the wharf matter for equipment planning?
With a wharf able to serve more than 11 vessels at once, vessel mobilisation and demobilisation can overlap, and cranes, containers and fuel transfers share space. Portable devices should be chosen for rough handling, sea air and fast-changing zone boundaries.
Do tenants set their own device rules?
Yes. Tenants include oil and gas services companies, each with its own safety rules. A device accepted by one tenant is not automatically accepted by another. Ask the tenant's HSE team for its requirements, and be ready to supply the datasheet and certification status.
