ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1 vs Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch
Both of these tablets are flameproof (Ex db) and certified for Zone 1/21 at IIC T6, the strictest temperature class, so on the gases they may be used around they start level. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1 is a dedicated 8-inch Android tablet with ATEX and IECEx certificates, a Class I Division 1 listing for North America and a +55 °C ambient rating. The Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch is a flameproof cover around a standard iPad Pro 11-inch (M5), with cameras and LiDAR that work through the cover, but it is ATEX only and rated to +45 °C. Here is how they compare, and which we would choose for which team.

Our verdict
Which should you choose?
The certificate decides first. If you need IECEx or a North American listing, work in ambient heat above +45 °C, or want the lighter tablet with an alarm key and an Ex-approved scanner, we would choose the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1. If your Zone 1 crews document their work with photos, LiDAR scans and marked-up drawings, or you already run iPads, and your sites fit an ATEX certificate and +45 °C, we would choose the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch.
Choose the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1 if…
- Your sites need more than ATEX: it holds an IECEx certificate and a Class I Division 1 Groups A to D listing for North America, while the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch is ATEX only, with IECEx planned and no North American listing in our data.
- Your sites run hot: it is certified up to +55 °C ambient, against +45 °C for the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch.
- Your crews carry the tablet all shift: it weighs 1,122 g against 1,350 g, and ecom rates it IP68, where the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch’s IP65 is pending testing.
- Your teams rely on an alarm key, gloves or scanning: it has a programmable function key, glove touch, NFC and ecom’s Ident-Ex 02 wireless scanner with its own Ex approval.
- You want wired data in the zone: its USB-C port may carry data in the hazardous area within its entity parameters, and our data lists no equivalent for the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch.
Choose the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch if…
- Your inspectors take photos, video and 3D scans in Zone 1: the 12 MP camera with 4K ProRes video and the LiDAR scanner work through the cover, and our data lists no depth sensor for the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1.
- You read drawings and data on site: the 11-inch screen is 2420 × 1668 at up to 1,000 nits, against 8 inches, 1920 × 1200 and 600 nits.
- You already manage iPads: it is a standard iPad Pro 11-inch (M5) inside, with the same apps and Apple device management, and 12 or 16 GB of memory.
- You want room for large files and faster Wi-Fi: 256 GB to 2 TB and Wi-Fi 7, against 128 GB (plus microSD up to 1 TB) and Wi-Fi 6.
Key differences
Where they differ
Maximum ambient temperature
- ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1
- −20 °C to +55 °C
- Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch
- −20 °C to +45 °C
The certificate decides whether a tablet may be used on a hot site at all. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1 has 10 °C more headroom than the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch, so check the summer ambient of your plant or yard against the certificate.
Published certificates and approvals
- ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1
- EPS 24 ATEX 1 228 X
- Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch
- ATEX certified
ecom publishes ATEX and IECEx certificate numbers and a North American listing for the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1. Xshielder confirms ATEX certification for the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch but has published no certificate number yet, and IECEx is planned. If your site or client needs IECEx or a Division listing, this decides the choice.
Weight
- ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1
- 1122 g
- Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch
- 1350 g (including the tablet)
The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1 is 228 g lighter than the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch, which weighs 1,350 g including the iPad. You notice the gap on a strap or in one hand through a shift.
LiDAR and 3D scanning
- ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1
- Not possible (no depth sensor listed)
- Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch
- Built in (iPad Pro LiDAR); Xshielder lists 'Pro camera with LiDAR'
The Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch has the iPad Pro’s LiDAR scanner, and Xshielder confirms it works through the cover. Our data lists no depth sensor for the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1. For room scans and measurements in Zone 1, that decides it.
In the field
Head to head, by kind of work
Certification, ambient range and where you can work
Edge: ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1
On the core rating they match. Both are flameproof (Ex db), certified for Zone 1/21 with gas group IIC, T6 (85 °C) and dust T80 °C at protection level Gb/Db, and neither is certified for Zone 0. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1 adds an intrinsically safe circuit (Ex ia) for its USB-C port and S Pen. Where they part is the paperwork. ecom publishes ATEX EPS 24 ATEX 1 228 X and IECEx EPS 24.0082X, and lists approvals for Korea, Brazil and South Africa. Xshielder confirms ATEX certification but has published no certificate number yet, and IECEx is planned.
Heat and geography follow. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1 is certified from −20 °C to +55 °C, ten degrees above the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch at −20 °C to +45 °C, so a hot plant or a summer yard is its ground. For North America, ecom holds an SGS certificate for Class I Division 1 Groups A to D at T6, plus Class II Division 1 and Class III, while our data has no North American listing for the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch. On an ATEX site below +45 °C the gas and dust coverage is the same.
Screen, cameras and what the tablet can do
Edge: Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch
This is where the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch pulls ahead, because the tablet inside is a standard iPad Pro 11-inch (M5). Its 11-inch Ultra Retina XDR screen is 2420 × 1668 at up to 1,000 nits (SDR maximum), against 8 inches, 1920 × 1200 and 600 nits on the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1, which ecom says reads well in direct sunlight. Xshielder confirms that the 12 MP rear camera with 4K video and ProRes, the LiDAR scanner, the 12 MP front camera with Face ID, stylus input and the speakers and microphones all work through the cover.
The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1 has a 13 MP autofocus rear camera, a 5 MP front camera, 4K video at 30 fps and a Samsung S Pen that is named in its certificate. Our data lists no depth sensor for it, so 3D scanning is not possible on it. It also comes in a camera-free version for sites that ban cameras, and our data lists none for the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch. For inspection photos, room scans and video calls with an expert, the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch is the more capable single device. The Ex rating of Xshielder’s stylus is not stated.
Carrying, ruggedness and field controls
Edge: ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1
The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1 weighs 1,122 g, 228 g less than the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch at 1,350 g including the iPad. ecom rates it IP68 (its Brazilian Inmetro marking shows IP64) and lists MIL-STD-810H, with glove touch and wet-hands operation. The Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch’s IP65 rating is pending testing, and our data lists no ruggedness standard or glove-touch figure for it, which means unverified, not absent.
On controls, ecom’s programmable function key can be set to push-to-talk, an emergency call or an alarm. The Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch has no programmable hardware key, so push-to-talk and lone-worker alerts run through third-party apps, and our data lists no built-in emergency function. Scanning follows the same pattern: ecom’s Ident-Ex 02 wireless 1D/2D scanner has its own Ex approval for Zone 1/21 and Division 1, where the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch scans by camera app with no scan engine. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1 also reads NFC tags.
Software, updates, battery and charging
Even
These are different ecosystems. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1 runs Android (Samsung One UI) on an Exynos 1380 with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, and is Android Enterprise Recommended with Samsung Knox 3.10; our data flags its exact Android version as unconfirmed. The Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch runs iPadOS 27 on an M5 with 12 or 16 GB, depending on storage, with the same apps and Apple device management as any iPad. Neither runs Windows desktop software.
On updates we call it level. ecom states security updates until 2032, a date our data flags as unconfirmed, and Xshielder expects 7–8 years, based on previous iPad Pro support. Neither battery is user-replaceable, and both must be swapped outside the hazardous area. ecom charges outside the hazardous area only; our data has no value for charging the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch inside the zone, so confirm that before you plan around it. ecom quotes up to 14 hours and our data lists up to 10 hours of web or video on Wi-Fi for the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch; these are makers’ figures measured in different ways, so test your own workload.

FAQ
Common questions
Is the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1 better than the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch?
Neither is better across the board. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1 suits hot sites up to +55 °C, teams that need IECEx or a North American listing, and crews who want the lighter tablet with an alarm key. The Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch suits teams that want the iPad Pro’s screen, cameras and LiDAR in Zone 1/21 on an ATEX certificate. Both are IIC T6.
Can either tablet be used in Zone 0?
No. Both are certified to protection level Gb/Db, which covers Zone 1/21 and Zone 2/22, and neither is certified for Zone 0.
Is either tablet approved for North America or IECEx?
The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1 is both: it holds IECEx EPS 24.0082X and an SGS listing for Class I Division 1 Groups A to D at T6. The Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch is ATEX only. IECEx is planned, and our data has no North American listing for it.
Which gets security updates for longer?
On the makers’ own statements they are close. ecom states updates until 2032 for the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1, a date our data flags as unconfirmed, and Xshielder expects 7–8 years for the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch, based on previous iPad Pro support.
Can you charge either tablet in the hazardous area?
For the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1, no: it must be charged outside the hazardous area, and its battery is not user-replaceable. For the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch our data has no value for charging inside the zone, so it is not confirmed either way. Its battery swap is outside the hazardous area only.
Is either tablet intrinsically safe?
Neither is intrinsically safe as a whole. Both are flameproof (Ex db) tablets. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1 adds an intrinsically safe circuit (Ex ia) for its USB-C port and S Pen, and the Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch relies on the flameproof cover alone.
How much do the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1 and Xshielder iPad Pro 11-inch cost?
Prices depend on volume, configuration and region, so both are on request. Contact us for a price.
