When entering the Indonesian market, businesses must comply with various regulatory requirements, including TKDN and SNI. Although both are essential, many companies still misunderstand their differences and roles in product compliance.
What Is TKDN
TKDN (Domestic Component Level) represents the percentage of local content in a product, including materials, labor, and production processes. It is designed to support domestic industries and increase local manufacturing capacity.
TKDN is commonly required for:
- Government procurement
- Telecommunication and electronic devices
- Manufacturing industries
What Is SNI
SNI (Indonesian National Standard) ensures that products meet safety, quality, and performance requirements. It is intended to protect consumers and ensure product reliability.
SNI covers:
- Electrical safety
- Product quality
- Technical performance
- Compliance standards
Key Differences Between TKDN and SNI
- TKDN focuses on local content, while SNI focuses on product quality
- TKDN supports domestic industry, while SNI protects consumers
- TKDN relates to industrial policy, while SNI is a technical standard
- TKDN is often required for government projects, while SNI applies to product distribution
