Intrinsically Safe Smartphone Supplier for ONGC

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.

There is no list price yet. SAMS gives indicative pre-launch pricing in writing, against a stated quantity and site, and does not commit to a lead time before certification completes.

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.

ONGC buyers register through its e-tender portal (user ID obtained via the new-bidder access authorisation link), and bidders need a digital signature certificate; confirm current rules with ONGC.

Through authorised distributors once certificates exist. Until then SAMS can send the datasheet and certification schedule and arrange safe-area evaluation units.

India generally relies on Indian standards aligned with IEC explosive-atmosphere standards, with certification commonly through recognised Indian test bodies and regulation by the petroleum and explosives safety authorities. Confirm with ONGC and the certifying body which certificate it will accept before supply.

ONGC runs its own procurement through vendor registration and tendering, and individual assets or contractors may buy equipment too. There is no public approved list for hazardous-area devices, so confirm current registration and certification requirements with the relevant ONGC procurement office.

Offshore decks mean salt spray and damp air. IP68 protects against dust and immersion but not against ignition; the Ex marking, still in progress, governs hazardous use. Ask the platform HSE team how handheld devices are controlled on deck, and test battery behaviour in local heat before any fleet purchase.
