Petroperu is Peru's state-owned oil company, wholly owned by the State since 1969, covering refining, pipeline transport and fuel marketing. In January 2021 the company unveiled a new corporate identity to position itself in the Peruvian fuel market, with strategic objectives including supplying fuel to the whole Peruvian market. Buyers searching for an intrinsically safe mobile phone supplier for Petroperu 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 intrinsically safe mobile phone for Petroperu 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.
| Check | What to look for | IS-04Z1 today |
|---|---|---|
| Level of protection | ia, ib or ic matched to the zone | ib, for Zone 1 |
| Entity parameters | Uo, Io and Po within the device limits | Published with the certificate |
| Accessories | Chargers and cases certified with the device | Defined at certification |
| Where it applies | Petroperu: Refinery process units, Crude and product storage, Pipeline pumping stations | Classified by the site operator |
An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Peru. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
The main sites and the hazardous-area types a portable device is likely to meet at this organisation.
Petroperu maintains a Qualified Supplier Registration System (Registro de Proveedor Calificado) in which supplier information is validated by Achilles Peru; requirements are published on its website. The Ex certificate and an organisation's own vendor or engineering approval are two separate timelines; SAMS is working towards both and holds neither today.
Petroperú's published list of facilities includes its own sales plants at Talara, Piura, El Milagro and Conchán, own terminals at Talara and Conchán, and concession terminals at Eten, Salaverry, Chimbote, Callao and Supe.
In December 2020, at the government's request, it assumed the temporary concession for the natural gas pipeline distribution network in the south-west of the country, adding gas distribution duties.
Petroperu was created by decree on 24 July 1969 after the state took over the Talara refinery in Piura, and it has been owned by the Peruvian state since then.
The company is dedicated to the transport, refining, distribution and commercialisation of fuels and other petroleum products, so its hazardous areas are refineries, terminals, pipeline stations and fuel depots rather than oil fields alone.
Intrinsic safety limits the electrical and thermal energy in a circuit so that neither a spark nor a hot surface can ignite a gas or dust atmosphere, even when a fault occurs. The ib level, used for Zone 1, tolerates one fault. It is the usual way to make a handheld device that a worker carries continuously through a hazardous area.
The IS-04Z1 is designed on this principle for Zone 1 and Zone 21 (marking target II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4). Intrinsic safety is a design basis, not a certificate: certification is in progress and none has been issued yet.
In Petroperu. Operators on refinery rounds and pipeline pumping stations move between units, storage and control rooms. A handheld designed for intrinsic safety can be used for photos, readings and communication in classified areas if its certificate allows it. Whether this is allowed at Talara, Conchan, Iquitos or along the Oleoducto Norperuano is for Petroperu to decide.
There is no stock to order for Petroperu 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.

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.
The circuits are designed to limit energy so a spark or hot surface cannot ignite a gas or dust atmosphere, even with one fault (level ib, Zone 1). Certification of that design is in progress.
Petroperu maintains a Qualified Supplier Registration System (Registro de Proveedor Calificado) in which supplier information is validated by Achilles Peru; requirements are published on its website.
Through authorised distributors once certificates exist. Until then SAMS can send the datasheet and certification schedule and arrange safe-area evaluation units.
Talara is a hot, dry coastal location with sea air, while the northern jungle areas are humid, rainy and remote, with long access times. Handheld devices should have good ingress protection, corrosion resistance and a wide temperature range; confirm local limits with the operator.
State enterprises normally buy through formal procurement processes with registration and technical evaluation. There is no public approved list for hazardous-area devices, so confirm current registration and certification requirements directly with Petroperu's procurement and HSE departments.
The sheet states that Petroperu maintains a Qualified Supplier Registration System, in which supplier information is validated by Achilles Peru, and that requirements are published on its website. Check the current requirements with Petroperu's procurement team. The IS-04Z1 is pre-launch and has no certificate.
