Jordan: projects and investment
Modern renewables made up 10% of final energy consumption in 2020, up from 3% in 2015, and developers sell power to the National Electric Power Company, so solar and wind construction is increasing.

More about Jordan that matters for portable equipment
Jordan: industry on the ground
In 2021 Jordan's total energy supply was 51% oil, 38% gas, 3% coal and 8% renewables, so fuel storage, gas networks and power stations form its main flammable-materials infrastructure.
Jordan: industry on the ground
The Arab Potash Company holds a concession to 2058 to extract Dead Sea minerals, has its main plants at Ghor Al Safi, and is the eighth-largest potash producer worldwide.
Jordan: who works there
The Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company's activities include refining, filling gas cylinders, a lubricant factory and fuel marketing through JoPetrol, so one operator spans several hazardous-area process types.
The term · industrial
What “industrial” means for a smartphone
“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 Jordan. Jordanian operators and contractors work from Amman and from remote southern sites. EMM or MDM enrolment helps provision devices per contract. The IS-04Z1 is designed for managed deployment, and the sheet notes Arabic and English support. Safe-area charging and connectivity at remote mines should be planned.

Questions · Jordan
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an industrial mobile phone in Jordan 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 industrial mobile phone in Jordan 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.
Is the IS-04Z1 an industrial phone as well as an Ex phone?
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.
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.
Do Jordanian sites accept ATEX or IECEx paperwork?
Operators commonly work to IEC 60079 and accept ATEX or IECEx certificates, but acceptance is set by each site's own procedure. Ask the operator's HSE team for its approved equipment list and provide certificates, marking details and manufacturer instructions with your request.
Where is the main hazardous-area refining site in Jordan?
The Zarqa refinery, run by the Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company, is the best-known, with refining, LPG filling and lubricants activity. Expansion and modernisation projects are planned or under way, so contractors work there. Confirm current access rules and device approvals with the company.
Is dust or gas the main concern in Jordan?
The market guide says Jordan's heaviest classified-area exposure is dust, at potash and phosphate sites, with gas at the refinery and Aqaba. Which applies depends on the area. Ask the operator for the zone classification, covering both dust and gas, before choosing a device.
