Port-led logistics
Tanjung Perak is the main port for eastern Java, so imported equipment normally arrives by sea.

Intrinsically Safe Smartphone in Surabaya
Surabaya is the capital of East Java and home to Tanjung Perak, Indonesia's second-largest port. The Surabaya Industrial Estate Rungkut and neighbouring Gresik, with a fertiliser plant and cement works, hold the chemical, fuel and process areas where Zone 1 and Zone 21 equipment applies. This page explains what to look for in an intrinsically safe smartphone for Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area, and where the IS-04Z1 stands against that list today.

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 Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area. Operators at chemical plants and port fuel handling walk between tanks, process areas and quays on rounds. A handheld designed for intrinsic safety could hold checklists and photos in one device where its gas marking fits. Dust areas at cement works need separate assessment.

- A certificate number, issuing body and the schedule of conditions, not a brochure claim.
- Standards edition
- The IEC 60079 or national standard edition the certificate was issued against.
Check for the IS-04Z1

Questions · Surabaya
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an intrinsically safe smartphone in Surabaya 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 Surabaya 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.
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 Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area would use it?
Likely candidates are port fuel and chemical handling, fertiliser and chemical plants, cement plant dust areas, industrial estate chemical plants. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
Is intrinsically safe the same as explosion proof?
Not exactly. Explosion proof is a broad everyday term; intrinsic safety is one protection concept, which limits energy so ignition cannot occur. Flameproof (Ex d) is a different concept that contains an explosion. The IS-04Z1 is intrinsically safe by design.
How do I move equipment between Surabaya and Madura or other East Java sites?
The Suramadu Bridge links Surabaya and Madura by road, and Tanjung Perak serves sea freight to eastern Indonesia. Allow time for customs clearance and for any site gate checks on electronic devices at plants and terminals.
Why is Surabaya a useful base for marine and shipyard work?
It has Indonesia's second-busiest seaport, a large shipyard and naval facilities, plus freight forwarders and customs brokers. Marine work typically involves tank entry and hot work, so confirm each yard's permit rules for portable electronic devices.
Can one handset serve both chemical plants and cement works around Surabaya?
Not necessarily. Chemical and fuel areas are gas hazards, while cement works are dust areas, and each needs a suitable marking. The IS-04Z1 target marking covers gas only. Check each area's classification with the operator.
