Capacity figures
Wikipedia quotes 1.24 million barrels a day, while Reliance's current site quotes 1.4 million; the operator's figure is used here.
Tropical cyclones sometimes affect the area during the wet season, so operators plan for storm events. Process units, tank farms and marine facilities create extensive Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas. If you are specifying an IECEx smartphone for Jamnagar, Gujarat, this page covers the markings, the approvals and the current certification status of the IS-04Z1.
Pre-launch · certification in progress · Launching Q4 2026
Short answer. The SAMS IS-04Z1 is the intrinsically safe smartphone covered here for Jamnagar, Gujarat: pre-launch, designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 (marking target Ex ib IIC T4), with certification in progress and no certificate issued.
Current position: certification in progress, nothing issued, launch targeted for Q4 2026. A buyer's engineering review is separate from the certificate. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Jamnagar India. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
A short profile of the site and the kinds of classified area that matter for portable equipment.
Wikipedia quotes 1.24 million barrels a day, while Reliance's current site quotes 1.4 million; the operator's figure is used here.
Wikipedia gives the refinery's commissioning as July 1999 and the site as over 7,500 acres, with utilities, port infrastructure and worker housing. Reliance's own site lists a refinery off-gas cracker and the world's largest petcoke gasifier.
The Jamnagar refinery, owned by Reliance Industries, was commissioned in July 1999 at 668,000 barrels a day and now has an installed capacity of 1.24 million barrels a day, the largest of any single refinery.
Jamnagar has a hot semi-arid climate, with March to May extremely hot and humid and an erratic monsoon averaging about 500 millimetres, from under 100 in dry years to over 1,500.
Polymer exports from the Jamnagar complex were moved through Port Pipavav by container, with volumes quadrupled to over 10,000 forty-foot containers in one year.
A second large refinery is at nearby Vadinar and is owned by Nayara Energy, described as India's second-largest single-site refinery.
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 Jamnagar, Gujarat. A refinery of this size draws international engineering and licensor contractors working to project specifications. IECEx certificates of conformity and schedules of conditions are the shared language for many of them. The IS-04Z1 is being assessed on this route, and no certificate has been issued.
A short checklist for anyone writing or reviewing the specification, with the IS-04Z1 status against each point.
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.
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.
No. The IECEx certificate is in progress and has not been issued. SAMS will publish the number when it exists.
Likely candidates are refinery process units, petcoke gasification, refinery off-gas cracker and petrochemical units, crude and product tank farms. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
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.
Vadinar is a separate coastal town in Devbhumi Dwarka district with its own refinery and crude oil terminals, about 47 kilometres from Jamnagar airport. Many contractors serve both sites, but access arrangements are separate.
It is hot semi-arid, with a very hot and humid season from March to May and an irregular monsoon. Cyclones occasionally occur, so look for sealed devices with a suitable temperature range.
Not automatically. The complex has many unit types, and each area has its own classification and permit regime. A device may be acceptable in one and not in another. Confirm with Reliance's site safety team which areas an approved handheld may be used in.
