The term · rugged
What “rugged” means for a smartphone
A rugged phone is built to survive water, dust, drops and rough handling, usually rated by an IP code and a drop specification. Ruggedness is an environmental property: it says nothing about whether a phone may be used where flammable gas or dust is present. That is decided by explosion-protection certification and marking.
The IS-04Z1 combines both: an IP68 sealed rugged build and a design for Zone 1 and Zone 21 (marking target Ex ib IIC T4). The explosion-protection certificates are in progress and none has been issued.
In Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj). Itaborai is in the Rio hinterland, with outdoor pipework and process equipment exposed to sun, rain and dust. IP68 helps handsets survive such conditions. It does not provide explosion protection, which is a separate property shown by the Ex marking.

Questions · Itaborai Petrochemical
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy a rugged smartphone in Itaborai Petrochemical 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 a rugged smartphone in Itaborai Petrochemical 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.
How rugged is the IS-04Z1?
It is designed to IP68 sealing, with glove-friendly controls. Ruggedness is not explosion protection: that depends on the certificates, which are in progress.
Which areas at Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj) would use it?
Likely candidates are natural gas processing unit, gas pipeline receiving area, lpg and c5+ product handling, planned refining and lubricant units. 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 Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj)?
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 Itaborai (Boaventura Energy Complex, formerly Comperj).
Is the Itaborai site still in construction or operation?
Project listings show the complex has changed scope and name more than once, and published information is dated. Treat any schedule as indicative and confirm current status, contractors and induction requirements with Petrobras or its main contractors before planning equipment.
How do contractors usually travel to Itaborai?
By road via the Niteroi-Manilha highway and the Sao Goncalo to Rio route, with Rio's airport relatively close. Construction-era sites often run staff buses and gate inductions, so confirm transport and device carry rules with the contractor.
Are the planned refining units classified yet?
The sheet treats the base-oil, diesel and jet fuel units as plans, so work may be under construction and classification may not be final. Ask Petrobras what applies to each unit. Confirm documentation requirements with the site operator and its HSE team.
