Inland site
Mathura is inland and is supplied with crude through the Salaya-Mathura pipeline, a 2,663 km line from the Gujarat coast, so there is no marine terminal.
Mathura in Uttar Pradesh is home to Indian Oil's inland refinery, commissioned on 19 January 1982 and now processing 8 million tonnes of crude a year. Process units and product storage define its Zone 1 areas. If you are specifying an industrial mobile phone for Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, 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 Mathura, Uttar Pradesh: 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. An operator's own vendor approval is a separate step. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.
| Check | What to look for | IS-04Z1 today |
|---|---|---|
| Ingress protection | IP rating for dust and water | IP68 design |
| Fleet management | EMM and MDM support | Android 16 with EMM and MDM |
| Explosion protection | A separate certificate and marking | In progress; not issued |
| Where it applies | Mathura, Uttar Pradesh: Refinery process units, Crude and product tank farms, Product loading gantries | Classified by the site operator |

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Mathura India. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
Who operates there and which kinds of classified area a handset would meet, from the SAMS site research.
Mathura is inland and is supplied with crude through the Salaya-Mathura pipeline, a 2,663 km line from the Gujarat coast, so there is no marine terminal.
The refinery processes low-sulphur Bombay High and Nigerian crudes and high-sulphur Middle East crude, and supplies BS VI fuels to the Delhi NCR region.
The refinery began producing BS VI standard fuels for Delhi NCR ahead of the April 2020 mandate, showing continuing upgrade work.
Mathura has a hot semi-arid climate, which means very hot summers and relatively low rainfall.
The refinery received the Best of All Rajiv Gandhi National Quality Award in 1998, and a corporate postal stamp was issued for its environmental contribution.
Mathura Refinery, Indian Oil's sixth refinery, was commissioned on 19 January 1982 after construction began in October 1972, so its older units are over 40 years old.
“Industrial” describes a phone built for plant conditions: sealed, drop-resistant and manageable at fleet scale through Android Enterprise. It does not by itself mean the phone may enter a classified area. Only a device with a valid explosion-protection certificate and marking may do that.
The IS-04Z1 is designed to be both an industrial Android phone (IP68, 4,000 mAh battery, 50 MP camera, Android 16 with EMM and MDM support) and an intrinsically safe one. Its explosion-protection certificates are in progress and have not been issued.
In Mathura, Uttar Pradesh. A single operator running an inland site simplifies fleet ownership, though shutdown contractors add many temporary users. MDM or EMM enrolment, which the IS-04Z1 supports, lets the operator control apps and access. Charging belongs in safe areas such as control rooms and workshops.
A short checklist for anyone writing or reviewing the specification, with the IS-04Z1 status against each point.
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.
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.
Yes by design: IP68 sealing, a 4,000 mAh battery, a 50 MP camera and Android 16 with EMM and MDM support. The explosion-protection certificates are separate and still in progress.
Likely candidates are refinery process units, crude and product tank farms, product loading gantries, pipeline pumping stations. 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.
Mathura has a hot semi-arid climate with very hot summers, so check the device's maximum operating and charging temperature on the datasheet and avoid leaving it in direct sun or vehicles.
Process units, tank farms, pump areas and loading gantries have classified areas for flammable gas and vapour. The operator defines these and specifies approved equipment, so request the area classification before entering.
Heat can shorten battery life and dust can work into ports and seals. A sealed IP68 housing helps with dust. Keep devices out of direct sun between uses, and ask the operator about charging and storage arrangements for portable equipment during the hot months.
