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.

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 Singapore refineries.

One refinery on Jurong Island publishes a ban on mobile phones and other electrical or electronic equipment in its process plant and classified hazardous areas. Devices certified for the zone may be allowed only with prior approval, so ask your sponsor before the visit.

Typically a visitor pass at the island checkpoint, a plant security pass, an indemnity form, security screening, declaration of electronic equipment and an escort by a named sponsor for the whole visit. Allow extra time at the gate and arrive with approved paperwork.

Hydrogen is a Group IIC gas, so any unit handling it can call for IIC equipment, whereas many fuels fall in IIA or IIB. The IS-04Z1 target marking includes IIC but is not yet issued. Ask the refinery which units hold hydrogen.
