The IS-04Z1 is an intrinsically safe handset for people who cross into classified areas in Jordan every shift: potash and phosphate plant operators, refinery crews at Zarqa, port operators at Aqaba, and the HSE and telecoms teams who equip them. It is pre-launch, so what you can have today is the datasheet, the certification schedule and an evaluation unit.

Qualcomm SnapdragonJordan’s classified-area work sits in two clusters: the potash and phosphate operations around the Dead Sea and the southern desert, and the refining and port complex at Aqaba on the Red Sea.
Operators and contractors such as Arab Potash Company, Jordan Phosphate Mines Company and Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company need an explosion proof mobile phone they can carry into classified areas at Dead Sea works, Eshidiya and Al-Hasa and Al-Abiad. The IS-04Z1 is designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 duty there.
Jordan is drier and dustier than most of its neighbours, and its heaviest classified-area exposure is dust rather than gas. These are the points a Jordanian evaluator presses on, and how the design answers them.
For evaluators in Jordan, the IS-04Z1 explosion proof mobile phone is designed around these points: Phosphate and potash dust as the primary hazard; Desert heat and altitude swings; Remote site logistics; Arabic and English on one build; Managed centrally across scattered sites.
Unlike the Gulf, Jordan’s largest classified-area exposure is combustible dust from mining and processing rather than hydrocarbon gas. The device is designed for Zone 21 as well as Zone 1, and IP68 sealing is what matters after a dusty shift at Eshidiya.
Southern desert sites run extreme daytime heat while Amman sits at altitude with cooler nights. The ATEX marking target is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4, and the temperature class is the first line an instrumentation engineer checks.
Eshidiya and the southern phosphate mines are a genuine distance from Amman, and there is no recharging point inside a classified processing area. The 4,000 mAh cell is specified to last a full shift.
Jordanian operations run with a mixed national and expatriate technical workforce. Android 16 carries both interface languages on the same handset.
EMM and MDM enrolment lets an operator with plants spread from the Dead Sea to Aqaba manage the fleet from one console rather than site by site.
IECEx certification is the technical basis Jordanian operators work from. Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization (JSMO) conformity marking is being pursued alongside launch.
Conformity in Jordan runs through the Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization (JSMO), which sets and enforces national technical regulations including those adopted from Gulf and international standards. For hazardous-area equipment the technical evidence behind that conformity is an IECEx Certificate of Conformity, and because this product is a phone it also needs Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) type approval for the radio. Neither is finished yet.
Getting past the plant gate is a separate exercise. Arab Potash Company and Jordan Phosphate Mines Company each run their own vendor-registration and engineering-approval process for equipment entering a classified processing area, and supply is normally expected to run through a Jordanian-registered partner. A device can be fully JSMO-cleared for import and still be unlisted on an operator’s own equipment register, so plan for two timelines rather than one.
Typical Zone 1 and Zone 21 duty for the IS-04Z1 explosion proof mobile phone in Jordan includes: Open-pit phosphate operations at Eshidiya; Dead Sea evaporation ponds and processing plant; Turnaround work at the Zarqa refinery; Fuel terminal and port operations at Aqaba.
A shift supervisor walking a phosphate pit and beneficiation plant needs to log conditions, photograph equipment and stay in contact with the control room across a large, dusty site. Four-constellation GNSS puts a position on the record where distances are measured in kilometres.
Potash processing generates fine combustible dust across drying and handling areas. A device rated for Zone 21 as well as Zone 1 means one specification covers both the ponds and the processing plant.
As Jordan’s only refinery, a JPRC turnaround concentrates contractor traffic and permit volume into a short window. One enrolled handset carrying the permit app, the site directory and the camera cuts what every crew signs out.
Aqaba combines a fuel import terminal with general port operations in one economic zone. IP68 sealing and a full-shift battery suit both the terminal’s classified areas and the surrounding logistics operation.
The IS-04Z1 launches in Q4 2026. None of these steps needs a purchase order, and they are ordered so that your approvals and our certification run in parallel.
Give us the zone, gas or dust group and temperature class for the areas a device would enter, plus the operator whose approval you work under. That is enough for us to say plainly where certification stands against your requirement.
You receive the full specification and a written list of the certifications in progress with target dates. An HSE officer can start an equipment selection justification with it, and procurement can open a vendor file.
Evaluation units will be offered to Jordanian operators and contractors for handling and MDM trials in safe areas, moving to classified-area pilots once the certificate exists.
Vendor-registration processes at APC and JPMC favour a locally registered supplier who can hold the JSMO documentation and carry spares. Evaluation quantities can be supplied directly while that channel is appointed.
Send your site, zone and gas group, and we will answer for your plant rather than in general.
Ask about Jordan →Not yet. The IS-04Z1 is pre-launch and every certification behind it, including IECEx, ATEX and the JSMO conformity route, is still in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch. What exists today is the datasheet, the certification schedule and a place in the evaluation programme.
Jordan’s largest classified-area exposure is combustible dust from potash and phosphate processing, and the device is designed for Zone 21 as well as Zone 1 gas atmospheres, so it covers both.
We do not publish one. Until certification completes there is no list price, and pre-launch pricing is available on request against a stated quantity and site.
Zone 1 and Zone 21, gas and dust. NEC 500 Class I Division 1 is being pursued alongside for projects run to the American code.
That decision belongs to the operator and follows the certificates rather than preceding them. The IECEx certificate is the evidence their engineering review is built on.
Yes. Android 16 runs the interface in Arabic or English on the same handset and the user manual will be issued in both.
Tell us the site, the zone and gas group, and roughly how many handsets. The SAMS team replies by email with the datasheet and the certification schedule for Jordan. The IS-04Z1 is pre-launch and certification is in progress, so there is no list price yet; indicative pricing is issued in writing against a stated quantity and site.
SAMS is appointing Jordanian safety and instrumentation distributors who already hold APC or JPMC vendor numbers and can carry spares close to Amman or Aqaba. Tell us which operators you are registered with.
