Short answer. Dumai Refinery, Riau has no appointed SAMS distributor yet: the IS-04Z1 is pre-launch (certification in progress, no certificate issued, launch planned for Q4 2026), and distributor applications are open.

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.

More about Dumai Refinery, Riau that matters for portable equipment

Dumai Refinery, Riau: who works there

All six of Indonesia's oil refineries are run by Pertamina, and together they supplied only about half of national fuel demand, which is why upgrade programmes cover the largest units including Dumai.

Dumai Refinery, Riau: projects and investment

Indonesia's Refinery Development Master Plan aims to raise national crude processing capacity towards two million barrels a day, with the biggest existing refineries to be upgraded and new ones built at Tuban and Bontang.

Dumai Refinery, Riau: background

The Dumai refinery has operated since 1971, and the Putri Tujuh Dumai and Sungai Pakning refineries together have supplied fuel to Sumatra and contributed to regional development in Riau.

Dumai Refinery, Riau: infrastructure

The refinery generates the power it needs from natural gas supplied by fields in South Sumatra and Jambi, including Grissik, Bentu and Jambi Merang, which cuts its fuel cost by about 40 percent.

The term · intrinsically safe

What “intrinsically safe” means for a smartphone

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 Dumai Refinery, Riau. Inspections between the Dumai and Sungai Pakning sites, and along marine jetties, create plenty of rounds. A handheld intended for intrinsic safety could hold checklists and photos for those trips. That use depends on certification and on Pertamina's acceptance.

Questions · Dumai Refinery

Frequently asked questions

Can we buy an intrinsically safe smartphone in Dumai Refinery 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 intrinsically safe smartphone in Dumai Refinery 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.

What does ‘intrinsically safe’ mean for the IS-04Z1?

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.

Which areas at Dumai Refinery, Riau would use it?

Likely candidates are refinery process units, crude and product tank farms, marine loading jetties. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.

How do I become a SAMS distributor for Dumai Refinery, Riau?

Apply through the distributor page with your company details and the territory you cover. SAMS reviews applications company by company and has not yet granted a territory for Dumai Refinery, Riau.

Which Pertamina unit runs Dumai and how do contractors register?

Dumai is Pertamina's Refinery Unit II and its Sungai Pakning site is managed with it. Contractors and equipment suppliers usually register through Pertamina vendor processes and the unit's own safety induction, so confirm current requirements with the refinery.

Why are upgrade projects relevant for devices at Dumai?

National plans to upgrade the biggest refineries mean new process areas and construction activity beside operating units. Contractors in new areas typically follow the project's hazardous-area drawings, so check the classification for your specific work front rather than assuming existing plant limits.

Does Dumai have one set of rules or one per site?

The unit covers Dumai and Sungai Pakning, and each site has its own areas and drawings. Rules for devices are set by Pertamina, but practical details may differ. Ask the operator for requirements covering both sites. Confirm with the site operator.
