In Indonesia, ensuring product safety and compliance is crucial especially for electrical appliances like air conditioners and electric fans. One of the key standards that governs these products is the SNI Certification. If you’re a manufacturer, distributor, or importer of these appliances, obtaining this certification is not only a legal requirement but also a mark of quality and consumer trust.
SNI stands for Standar Nasional Indonesia or Indonesian National Standard. It is a standardized framework developed by BSN (Badan Standardisasi Nasional) to ensure that products meet safety, quality, and performance benchmarks.
For electric appliances such as fans and air conditioners, SNI Certification ensures:
- Electrical safety
- Energy efficiency
- Product reliability
- Compliance with Indonesian regulations
The certification process involves product testing in accredited laboratories, followed by a thorough evaluation and issuance of the SNI mark, allowing the product to be legally sold in Indonesia.
