ATEX Phones India – Certified Mobile Devices for Indian Oil and Gas Operations

India’s oil and gas sector is among the largest in Asia, with major upstream operations across the KG Basin, Rajasthan fields, and Mumbai High offshore platforms, alongside a vast downstream infrastructure including some of the world’s largest refinery complexes at Jamnagar, Visakhapatnam, and Koyali. Across these facilities, ATEX certified mobile devices are a mandatory requirement for field personnel operating in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas where flammable gases, vapours, and combustible dusts create ignition risks.

India’s Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO) regulates hazardous area equipment compliance, working alongside ATEX Directive standards recognised by Indian oil majors and their international EPC contractors. Infinity-EX ATEX phones for India carry full ATEX II 2G and ATEX II 3G certification, meeting the requirements of Indian national oil companies including ONGC, Reliance Industries, BPCL, and HPCL, as well as international operators and EPC contractors working on India’s major upstream and downstream projects.

India’s Key Oil and Gas Industrial Areas

Reliance Industries’ Jamnagar Refinery Complex in Gujarat is the world’s largest single-location refining complex, processing over 1.24 million barrels per day across the two integrated refinery streams. The site’s scale, combined with its continuous processing of crude and intermediate hydrocarbon streams, creates extensive Zone 1 and Zone 2 classified areas requiring ATEX certified mobile equipment for thousands of operational personnel. Similarly, ONGC’s Mumbai High offshore platform complex and the multiple LNG terminals at Dahej, Hazira, and Ennore create significant offshore and coastal hazardous area requirements for Zone 1 rated mobile devices.

ATEX Compliance for Indian Operations

Infinity-EX ATEX phones provide IP68 ingress protection, MIL-STD-810H drop and shock resistance, PTT (Push-to-Talk) functionality over LTE networks, and GPS positioning for lone worker monitoring. All devices carry comprehensive ATEX certification documentation including ATEX declarations of conformity and EC type examination certificates, meeting the vendor approval requirements of ONGC, Reliance Industries, BPCL, HPCL, and their international EPC contractors operating across India’s hydrocarbon sector. Regional availability ensures fast delivery and ongoing technical support for all ATEX phones supplied to Indian operations.

Industrial Applications & Real-World Use Cases

In hazardous industrial environments such as oil refineries, petrochemical plants, offshore platforms, and mining operations, reliable communication is a critical safety requirement. Workers in Zone 1 and Zone 21 classified areas face constant exposure to flammable gases, vapors, and combustible dust. Any electronic device used must be intrinsically safe to prevent ignition.

Oil & Gas Operations

Field engineers on drilling rigs, well pads, and production platforms rely on ATEX certified devices for work order management, real-time communication with control rooms, digital permit-to-work systems, and photographic documentation. Our devices are deployed across ADNOC, Saudi Aramco, KOC, KNPC, ONGC, Petrobras, and Shell facilities worldwide.

Refinery & Petrochemical Safety

Process safety management requires continuous communication between operators, maintenance technicians, and HSE personnel. ATEX phones enable instant push-to-talk during turnarounds, emergency responses, and inspection rounds. Explosion-proof tablets allow viewing P&IDs and digital checklists in the field.

Offshore Platform Operations

Offshore environments present salt spray corrosion, extreme weather, and limited charging infrastructure. Our IP68-rated devices withstand these conditions while maintaining Zone 1 certification for crane coordination, emergency mustering, and helicopter manifesting.

Safety Compliance Standards

  • ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU — European explosive atmospheres standard
  • Ex ia IIC T4 Gb — Zone 1 intrinsic safety for gas groups
  • Ex ia IIIC T135°C Db — Zone 21 dust protection
  • IP68 — Dust and water protection
  • MIL-STD-810H — Military-grade durability
