IECEx Smartphone in Surabaya
The city hosts a large shipyard and several naval schools, and in the Dutch colonial era hosted the most extensive naval base in the colony, so marine and ship-repair work is a core local activity. The Surabaya Industrial Estate Rungkut and neighbouring Gresik, with a fertiliser plant and cement works, hold the chemical, fuel and process areas where Zone 1 and Zone 21 equipment applies. If you are specifying an IECEx smartphone for Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area, this page covers the markings, the approvals and the current certification status of the IS-04Z1.

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 Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area. Visiting engineering firms and international customers of the Gresik fertiliser and cement works often refer to IECEx. A certificate of conformity with a schedule of conditions would be reviewed. For the IS-04Z1 these are targets, not issued, so no purchase should rely on them yet.

Questions · Surabaya
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an IECEx smartphone in Surabaya 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 Surabaya 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 Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area would use it?
Likely candidates are port fuel and chemical handling, fertiliser and chemical plants, cement plant dust areas, industrial estate chemical plants. 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 do I move equipment between Surabaya and Madura or other East Java sites?
The Suramadu Bridge links Surabaya and Madura by road, and Tanjung Perak serves sea freight to eastern Indonesia. Allow time for customs clearance and for any site gate checks on electronic devices at plants and terminals.
Why is Surabaya a useful base for marine and shipyard work?
It has Indonesia's second-busiest seaport, a large shipyard and naval facilities, plus freight forwarders and customs brokers. Marine work typically involves tank entry and hot work, so confirm each yard's permit rules for portable electronic devices.
Can one handset serve both chemical plants and cement works around Surabaya?
Not necessarily. Chemical and fuel areas are gas hazards, while cement works are dust areas, and each needs a suitable marking. The IS-04Z1 target marking covers gas only. Check each area's classification with the operator.
