Petroperu: who works there
In December 2020, at the government's request, it assumed the temporary concession for the natural gas pipeline distribution network in the south-west of the country, adding gas distribution duties.

IECEx Smartphone for Petroperu
The company is dedicated to the transport, refining, distribution and commercialisation of fuels and other petroleum products, so its hazardous areas are refineries, terminals, pipeline stations and fuel depots rather than oil fields alone. It operates the Talara, Conchan and Iquitos refineries and the Oleoducto Norperuano pipeline. If you are specifying an IECEx smartphone for Petroperu, this page covers the markings, the approvals and the current certification status of the IS-04Z1.

Supplier approval · Petroperu
Supplier registration at Petroperu
Petroperu maintains a Qualified Supplier Registration System (Registro de Proveedor Calificado) in which supplier information is validated by Achilles Peru; requirements are published on its website. 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.

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 Petroperu. Where international contractors and visiting EPCs work on Peruvian refinery or pipeline projects, IECEx paperwork is a common language. A reviewer should read the certificate of conformity together with its schedule of conditions. The IS-04Z1 is designed for IECEx, and certification is in progress, so no document can be supplied yet.

Questions · Petroperu
Frequently asked questions
Can Petroperu buy the IS-04Z1 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 smartphone for Petroperu 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 Petroperu approve suppliers?
Petroperu maintains a Qualified Supplier Registration System (Registro de Proveedor Calificado) in which supplier information is validated by Achilles Peru; requirements are published on its website.
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.
Which Petroperu facilities are likely to need intrinsically safe phones?
Likely places are the Talara refinery, fuel terminals, pump and pipeline stations and storage depots, where flammable vapours may occur. Zoning is facility-specific, so ask Petroperu's HSE team for classification drawings and its rules on portable electronics before specifying devices.
What language should documents be supplied in?
Spanish is the working language in Peru, so manuals, certificates and training are normally expected in Spanish, although English may be accepted for engineering review. Ask Petroperu's procurement team which language and format they require.
Is the phone suitable for a humid site such as Iquitos?
The IS-04Z1 has IP68 dust and water protection, which is helpful in rain and humidity. Temperature and humidity limits will be set by the final certificate and datasheet, so check them before use. IP68 is not explosion protection, and the Ex marking must match the classified area.
