Infinity-EX is a specialist supplier of ATEX certified mobile phones for global industrial operations. Every device we supply carries full ATEX certification under Directive 2014/34/EU, independently tested and approved by an accredited Notified Body to operate safely in classified Zone 1 and Zone 2 explosive atmospheres across oil, gas, petrochemical, chemical, mining and pharmaceutical environments worldwide.
ATEX certified mobile phones are devices independently tested and approved by an accredited Notified Body to operate safely in classified Zone 1 and Zone 2 explosive atmospheres. Unlike standard commercial smartphones, every ATEX certified mobile phone carries a full certification dossier — including the ATEX certificate number, equipment marking, and conditions of safe use — confirming its safe operation in the presence of flammable gases and vapours at oil, gas, chemical and industrial sites worldwide.
ATEX certification under Directive 2014/34/EU requires the manufacturer to have every device design independently assessed by an EU Notified Body. The assessment confirms the device meets the technical requirements of the relevant IEC 60079 series standards — primarily IEC 60079-0 (general) and IEC 60079-11 (intrinsic safety) for smartphone-type devices. Only after successful third-party testing and a review of the quality management system can the ATEX certificate be issued and the device marked with the Ex symbol and relevant classification data.
Each ATEX certified mobile phone carries a marking such as: « Ex » II 2G Ex ia IIC T4 Gb. This breaks down as: II = surface industry equipment; 2G = Category 2, Gas hazard; Ex ia = intrinsically safe, level ia; IIC = highest gas group (hydrogen); T4 = max surface temperature 135°C; Gb = Equipment Protection Level b for Zone 1.
Oil and gas upstream and downstream operations. Petrochemical refinery process areas. Chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Mining (underground and surface). LNG terminals and gas distribution networks. Offshore platforms and FPSO vessels.
What is the difference between ATEX and non-ATEX mobile phones? Standard mobile phones have no restrictions on internal electrical energy and their components are not tested for use in explosive atmospheres. ATEX certified mobile phones are independently tested and certified to confirm their electrical design cannot produce an ignition source in classified Zone 1 or Zone 2 areas. Using a non-ATEX phone in a classified hazardous area creates a genuine ignition risk and violates ATEX Directive requirements and site HSE rules.
How do I verify a mobile phone is genuinely ATEX certified? A genuinely ATEX certified mobile phone will have the Ex marking on the device itself (not just on packaging), a unique ATEX certificate number traceable in the EU ATEX Notified Body database, and a full certification document pack including the EU Declaration of Conformity and conditions of safe use. Infinity-EX provides all original certification documentation with every device supplied.
Infinity Ex ATEX-certified devices are trusted by major oil & gas operators including KOC, KNPC, ADNOC, Saudi Aramco, PDO, and QatarEnergy. Our devices meet the strictest safety standards for Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas.
