Short answer. An IECEx smartphone for Jordan cannot be bought yet: the SAMS IS-04Z1 is pre-launch (certification in progress, no certificate issued), and the datasheet, certification schedule and safe-area evaluation units are available now.
Where things stand: the IS-04Z1 has not launched, and none of its four certification routes has produced a certificate yet. An operator's own vendor approval is a separate step. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.

More about Jordan that matters for portable equipment
Jordan: logistics and access
Aqaba, at the north-eastern tip of the Red Sea, is Jordan's only seaport and is run by the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority, with King Hussein International Airport nearby for equipment arrivals.
Jordan: who works there
Jordan Phosphate Mines Company, founded in 1949, operates three mines and a chemical and fertiliser manufacturing complex in Aqaba, which it took over when it bought Jordan Fertilizer in 1986.
Jordan: infrastructure
The Zarqa refinery produces about 60,000 barrels a day and a fourth expansion, contracted in 2023 to Sinopec Engineering, Technimont and Itochu, is intended to raise this to 150,000 barrels a day.
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 Jordan. Jordan's potash, phosphate, refinery and port operations use international contractors and suppliers who know IECEx. A certificate of conformity names the equipment, and its schedule of conditions sets the conditions of use. IECEx certification for the IS-04Z1 is in progress, along with JSMO conformity.

Questions · Jordan
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an IECEx smartphone in Jordan 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 in Jordan 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 sites in Jordan does this cover?
The market guide for Jordan covers Dead Sea works, Eshidiya, Al-Hasa and Al-Abiad, Zarqa, among others. Site-level pages are linked below.
How will SAMS supply Jordan?
Through authorised distributors once certificates exist. Until then SAMS can send the datasheet and certification schedule and arrange safe-area evaluation units.
Does Aqaba matter for hazardous-area equipment logistics in Jordan?
Yes, Aqaba is Jordan's only seaport and most imported equipment arrives there, with the airport as an alternative for urgent shipments. Customs and zone rules differ, so agree clearance procedures with your importer before ordering and allow time for road transport to Zarqa or Amman.
How does Jordan's heat affect Ex handheld devices?
Summers can be very hot and dusty, so check the maximum ambient temperature on the certificate, the dust and water ingress rating and battery behaviour in heat. Avoid leaving devices in vehicles or on hot equipment, and consider sunshades for outdoor work at the refinery or solar sites.
How would a handset handle desert heat?
The IS-04Z1 has IP68 sealing for dust and water, but heat affects any battery. Ask for the datasheet's temperature range and trial a unit at a desert site. Site rules on charging and storing devices in safe areas still apply.
