Bluetooth enabled devices are growing rapidly in Indonesia from earbuds and speakers to smart home devices and industrial IoT solutions. To sell these products legally in the Indonesian market, manufacturers and importers must comply with Komdigi (Kementerian Komunikasi dan Digital) regulations through an official certification process.
This certification ensures that every Bluetooth device meets the national technical standards for radio frequency safety, interoperability, and electromagnetic compatibility.
Why Bluetooth Certification Is Required in Indonesia
Komdigi enforces certification for all devices using radio frequency features, including Bluetooth. This requirement aims to:
- Ensure the safety of radio-based devices
- Prevent frequency interference
- Guarantee product quality and reliability
- Protect consumers and support fair competition
- Ensure compliance with national spectrum regulations
Without proper certification, devices may face import rejection, market withdrawal, or legal penalties.
Types of Devices Requiring Bluetooth Certification
Any product containing Bluetooth functions must be certified, including:
- Wireless earbuds & headphones
- Smartwatches and fitness trackers
- Bluetooth speakers
- IoT devices (smart locks, sensors, appliances)
- Automotive accessories
- Gaming consoles & controllers
- Laptops, phones, tablets with Bluetooth modules
Even if Bluetooth is only one of several features, certification remains mandatory.
Bluetooth Certification Process Under Komdigi
The certification process typically includes:
1. Device Testing at an Accredited Lab
Products must undergo technical testing, covering:
- Radio frequency performance
- EMC testing
- Safety and spectrum compliance
2. Document Submission
Applicants must prepare documents such as:
- Technical specs
- Schematics
- Test reports
- Company legality documents
3. Review by Komdigi
The ministry examines all test results and documentation.
4. Certificate Issuance (Sertifikat Alat/Perangkat)
Once approved, the device receives an official certification number required for importation and distribution.
