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 Mundra, Gujarat. Mundra's liquid terminal and LNG terminal are served by international ship crews, surveyors and contractors. IECEx evidence, a certificate of conformity with its schedule of conditions, is a reference many of them know. SAMS is pursuing IECEx for the IS-04Z1, and nothing has been issued.

Questions · Mundra India
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an IECEx smartphone in Mundra India today?
Not today. Until the certificates are issued the IS-04Z1 stays out of classified areas, and until launch there is nothing to purchase. You can ask for the datasheet and the certification schedule, or book a safe-area evaluation unit.
What does an IECEx smartphone in Mundra India 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.
Which areas at Mundra, Gujarat would use it?
Likely candidates are liquid chemical and oil tank terminal, lng regasification terminal, tanker jetties, pipeline terminals. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
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.
How large is the Mundra special economic zone?
The notified multi-product zone covers 6,473 hectares, with a planned area of 135 square kilometres. Many companies operate inside it, each with its own site rules.
How dry is the Mundra region?
The nearby Kandla area has low rainfall of about 322 millimetres a year and April and May maxima around 40 degrees Celsius. Dust and salt air are likely, so check ingress and corrosion ratings.
Which cargo types at Mundra matter most when choosing a device?
Crude oil and chemicals matter most because they create hazardous areas around tanks and jetties, and LNG adds light-gas areas. Edible oils are generally less hazardous. The classification record for each area decides, so ask the terminal operator for its gas groups and temperature classes.
