Poland: infrastructure
Bełchatów Power Station in the Łódź region supplies almost 20% of Poland's energy and is the largest brown coal power plant in the EU, a major example of a large dust-hazard site.
The IS-04Z1 is an intrinsically safe Android handset designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21, built for the refinery, fertiliser and gas terminal work where Polish teams actually meet an explosive atmosphere. Buyers searching for an industrial smartphone supplier for Poland can take the datasheet and the certification schedule for the IS-04Z1 now; supply follows certification.
Pre-launch · certification in progress · Launching Q4 2026
Short answer. An industrial smartphone for Poland 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. A buyer's engineering review is separate from the certificate. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.
| Check | What to look for | IS-04Z1 today |

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Poland. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
The main operators, industrial areas and sites that the SAMS Poland market guide covers.
Bełchatów Power Station in the Łódź region supplies almost 20% of Poland's energy and is the largest brown coal power plant in the EU, a major example of a large dust-hazard site.
Solar energy expanded by 51.39% in 2023 and 26.61% in 2024 while hard coal fell 16.96% in 2024, and nuclear power is being introduced, so the types of site are changing.
The Płock refinery and petrochemical complex is the largest oil refinery in Poland, and Orlen's headquarters are in the same city, with servicing and construction firms clustered around the plant.
Coal use splits into 75.6% for electricity and heat, 14.5% for industry and 9.9% for buildings, so industrial coal consumers beyond power plants also have dust and gas hazards.
“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 Poland. Contractors come and go inside operating plants, so enrolment and removal need to be quick. Android 16 with EMM and MDM lets a telecoms team manage contractor devices, with Polish on the screen and in the file. Charging belongs in a safe area, and a whole shift without leaving the zone should be planned.
There is no stock to order for Poland yet. The IS-04Z1 is pre-launch, certification is in progress, and supply will run through authorised distributors after the certificates are issued. Procurement teams can prepare now with the datasheet, the certification schedule and a safe-area evaluation.
The technical specification, marking target and conditions of use, sent by email.
Which certificates are in progress, in what order, and what is still to be confirmed.
Evaluation units can be used for connectivity, MDM enrolment and workflow testing outside classified areas.
Tell us the site, zone, gas group and quantity so the right authorised distributor can contact you.
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.
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.
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.
The market guide for Poland covers Płock, Gdańsk, Włocławek, Puławy, among others. Site-level pages are linked below.
Through authorised distributors once certificates exist. Until then SAMS can send the datasheet and certification schedule and arrange safe-area evaluation units.
Polish is the working language and ATEX instructions are typically expected in the language of the destination country. A Polish-language instruction sheet with certificate pack usually speeds up site acceptance. Ask the operator whether English documents are also accepted for contractors.
Poland is an EU member, so ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU applies to equipment and Directive 1999/92/EC to workplace zoning. Zone 1 and Zone 2 devices should carry CE and Ex markings with instructions in Polish. Operators and mines usually add their own approval rules.
The gas marking target is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4, and Zone 21 dust protection belongs to the same programme, so one device is designed to cover both. Certification is in progress, so confirm the final marking and the plant's zone drawing with the operator.
