Turkey: industry on the ground
In 2019 primary energy was about 30% oil, 30% coal and 25% gas, and over 85% of energy came from fossil fuels, so refining, gas and coal sites provide most classified-area work.

WhereTurkey
Short answer. An industrial mobile phone for Turkey 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.
For the record, no certificate exists for the IS-04Z1 today. The programme is under way ahead of a Q4 2026 launch. A buyer's engineering review is separate from the certificate. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.

Field notes · Turkey
More about Turkey that matters for portable equipment
Turkey: logistics and access
Turkey mines its own lignite but imports three-quarters of its energy, including half its coal and almost all the oil and gas it needs, so ports, pipelines and storage terminals are central.
Turkey: who works there
Tüpraş operates four refineries handling about 30 million tonnes of crude a year, with Izmit and Izmir (Aliağa) at 11 million tonnes each, Kırıkkale at 5 million and Batman at 1.1 million.
Turkey: projects and investment
A nuclear power plant is under construction and about half of installed power capacity is renewable, so construction and commissioning sites are active alongside existing plants.
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 Turkey. Turkish fleets combine operator staff and contractor crews who pass through one gate, so enrolment and removal must be quick. EMM and MDM support lets IT apply site rules, with Turkish on the screen and in the file. Charging takes place in a safe area, and the battery is meant for a full shift.
The route · supply
Sourcing the IS-04Z1 for Turkey
Supply of the IS-04Z1 to Turkey starts only after certification, through authorised distributors. Until then a buyer can request the datasheet and the written certification schedule, and arrange a safe-area evaluation unit, which puts the site on the list for the right local channel at launch.
- 01
Request the datasheet
The technical specification, marking target and conditions of use, sent by email.
- 02
Ask for the certification schedule
Which certificates are in progress, in what order, and what is still to be confirmed.
- 03
Evaluate in a safe area
Evaluation units can be used for connectivity, MDM enrolment and workflow testing outside classified areas.
- 04
Register for launch
Tell us the site, zone, gas group and quantity so the right authorised distributor can contact you.
Questions · Turkey
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an industrial mobile phone in Turkey 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 industrial mobile phone in Turkey 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.
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 Turkey does this cover?
The market guide for Turkey covers Aliağa, Körfez and Kocaeli, Marmara Ereğlisi, Ceyhan, among others. Site-level pages are linked below.
How will SAMS supply Turkey?
Through authorised distributors once certificates exist. Until then SAMS can send the datasheet and certification schedule and arrange safe-area evaluation units.
Where is hazardous-area work concentrated in Turkey?
Refining and petrochemical complexes, gas and crude oil pipelines, LNG and fuel terminals, coal and lignite mines and power stations are the main examples, and Black Sea gas is a growing area. Request zone drawings from each operator, as classifications are site specific.
Does Turkey require ATEX or its own certification for Ex phones?
Turkey has aligned its equipment rules with the EU ATEX approach, but its own conformity marking and local requirements may apply to products placed on its market. Confirm the current requirement with the site operator or your importer before ordering, and ask about documentation language.
How will the IS-04Z1 perform in Turkish coastal summer heat?
The T4 target and certified ambient range will be published with the datasheet and certificate, which are in progress. IP68 sealing and a rugged build cover salt, dust and wash-down. Check the range against peak summer temperatures at your tank farm before specifying.
