Supplier approval · ADNOC
How suppliers reach ADNOC
ADNOC's website links suppliers to the ADNOC Supplier Hub, which has a supplier registration service and an In-Country Value (ICV) programme section; the page content could not be read in full, so confirm current requirements with the relevant group company. 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 ADNOC. ADNOC works with many international operators and contractors across Ruwais, Das Island and Umm Al Nar. IECEx is a familiar reference for them. A reviewer should read the certificate of conformity with the schedule of conditions. The IS-04Z1 is designed for IECEx, and certification is in progress.

Questions · ADNOC
Frequently asked questions
Can ADNOC buy the IS-04Z1 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 for ADNOC cost?
No price is published. While certification is in progress there is no list price and no committed lead time, and a supplier quoting a firm figure for an uncertified Ex handset is promising something it cannot stand behind. Indicative pre-launch pricing is issued in writing against a stated 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 ADNOC approve suppliers?
ADNOC's website links suppliers to the ADNOC Supplier Hub, which has a supplier registration service and an In-Country Value (ICV) programme section; the page content could not be read in full, so confirm current requirements with the relevant group company.
How will SAMS supply ADNOC?
Through authorised distributors once certificates exist. Until then SAMS can send the datasheet and certification schedule and arrange safe-area evaluation units.
How do island and offshore ADNOC sites differ for equipment planning?
Das Island and offshore platforms involve marine transfer, salt air, high humidity and strong heat, plus controlled access by boat or helicopter. Check corrosion resistance, ingress protection and temperature range, and ask the operator about transfer rules and any restrictions on batteries or devices.
Which ADNOC sites typically need Zone 1 phones and tablets?
Typically gas processing trains, LNG and NGL units, refinery process areas, petrochemical plants and offshore platforms. Each ADNOC group company classifies its own facilities, so request the hazardous-area drawing, gas group and temperature class from the specific operating company before choosing equipment.
What do suppliers need to register with ADNOC?
The sheet says suppliers are directed to ADNOC's supplier registration (the ADNOC Commercial Directory, now under its Supplier Hub) for Group tenders, and an In-Country Value certificate is generally required, per third-party guides. Confirm with the relevant group company. The IS-04Z1 has no certificate.
