Indonesia continues strengthening telecommunications regulation through Ministerial Decree No. 469 of 2025, which outlines the mandatory DJID/SDPPI certification requirements for telecommunication and radio frequency devices.
Any manufacturer, importer, or distributor planning to market wireless or connected devices in Indonesia must ensure compliance before distribution. Non-certified products risk customs rejection, sales prohibition, and penalties.
This article explains the categories of devices covered under the decree and why certification is essential.
What is DJID/SDPPI Certification?
DJID (Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure), formerly known as SDPPI, is the Indonesian authority responsible for:
- Radio frequency regulation
- Telecommunications equipment approval
- EMC and safety compliance
- Device market surveillance
Certification ensures devices do not interfere with networks, operate safely, and comply with Indonesian spectrum allocation rules.
Devices Requiring Mandatory Certification
Under Decree No. 469 of 2025, the following product groups are subject to mandatory approval:
1. Cellular & Mobile Communication Devices
Devices that connect to public cellular networks:
- Smartphones
- Feature phones
- Tablets with SIM capability
- LTE/5G routers and modems
- Cellular IoT modules
2. Short-Range Wireless Devices (SRD)
Low-power RF devices operating in license-exempt bands:
- Bluetooth devices
- Wi-Fi devices (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz if applicable)
- NFC devices
- RFID equipment
- Wireless peripherals (mouse, keyboard, headset)
3. Internet of Things (IoT) Equipment
Connected smart devices using RF or telecom modules:
- Smart home devices
- Smart meters
- GPS trackers

8. Consumer Electronics with Wireless Features
Even if telecom is not the main function:
- Smart TVs with Wi-Fi
- Smart speakers
- Gaming consoles with wireless connectivity
- Drones with RF communication
Why Compliance Matters
Certification is not optional. It is required to:
✔ Obtain Indonesian market approval
✔ Pass customs clearance
✔ Avoid product recalls
✔ Protect network integrity
✔ Ensure consumer safety
Failure to comply can lead to import detention, fines, and sales bans.
Key Testing Requirements
Most devices must undergo:
- RF testing (frequency, power, spectrum)
- EMC testing
- Safety evaluation (where applicable)
- Local representative documentation
Conclusion
Ministerial Decree No. 469 of 2025 reinforces Indonesia’s commitment to telecommunications safety and spectrum management. Businesses dealing with wireless or connected devices must verify whether their products fall under the mandatory list and begin certification early to prevent delays.
