Indonesia is one of the fastest-growing markets for electronics, especially devices equipped with wireless, telecommunication, or radio-frequency features. To ensure device compliance and protect consumers, the Indonesian government requires products with wireless or telecommunication functions to obtain SDPPI Certification a crucial regulatory step before distribution, importation, or sale.
This guide explains everything you need to know about SDPPI certification for electronic devices, including requirements, processes, timelines, costs, and why it matters for manufacturers and importers.
What Is SDPPI Certification?
SDPPI Certification (formerly known as Postel Certification) is an approval issued by the Directorate General of Resources and Equipment of Post and Information Technology (DJSDPPI / KOMDIGI) under the Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Informatics.
The certification ensures that any device using radio frequency, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular networks, NFC, or other wireless technologies complies with Indonesian technical standards and frequency regulations.
Which Devices Require SDPPI Certification?
Any electronic device with wireless or RF components must undergo approval. Common examples include:
- Wireless mouse, keyboard, and PC accessories
- Smartphones, tablets, and laptops
- Bluetooth speakers, earbuds, headphones
- Wi-Fi routers, access points, and modems
- IoT devices, smart home products, wearables
- RFID systems, walkie-talkies, and public radios
- Industrial or commercial wireless equipment
If a product emits radio waves or communicates via wireless technologies, it likely requires SDPPI certification before entering the Indonesian market.
Why Is SDPPI Certification Important?
Obtaining SDPPI approval ensures:
- Legal importation and distribution in Indonesia
- Avoidance of customs hold, penalties, or product rejection
- Compliance with national frequency standards
- Consumer safety and device reliability
- Increased market competitiveness and trust
Without certification, your electronic product cannot be registered, imported, or sold in Indonesia.
SDPPI Certification Requirements
To begin the certification, manufacturers or importers must prepare:
- Technical documents – datasheets, schematics, RF specs
- Test reports – preferably from ISO/IEC accredited labs
- Samples – for local Indonesia testing (if required)
- Company legal documents – NIB, NPWP, or representative authorization
- Photos of the device and label design
For some device types, local laboratory testing is mandatory to confirm RF performance and safety compliance.
SDPPI Certification Process
Below is the typical process flow:
- Document submission to SDPPI system
- Administrative review by KOMDIGI officers
- Technical testing (local or recognition lab reports)
- Evaluation and approval
- Certificate issuance (valid for 3 years)
Processing time can vary between 10–30 working days, depending on complexity, device type, and testing requirements.
SDPPI Certification Cost
Costs depend on:
- Product category
- Required local testing
- Number of models and variants
- Government approval fees
For accurate pricing, companies typically consult certification service providers to estimate total project fees.
How to Ensure a Smooth SDPPI Approval
To avoid delays or rejection, always:
- Prepare complete technical documentation
- Use updated test reports
- Ensure device labeling follows SDPPI format
- Work with an experienced certification consultant
Professional handling significantly increases speed and accuracy when dealing with Indonesian regulatory systems.
