Wireless gaming headsets continue to rise in demand as the gaming industry rapidly grows across Southeast Asia. Before entering the Indonesian market, however, all wireless gaming headsets must comply with strict national regulations. This includes obtaining mandatory certification to ensure safety, RF compliance, and proper usage of wireless technology.
This guide explains the complete Wireless Gaming Headset Certification Process in Indonesia for manufacturers, importers, and distributors.
Why Certification Is Required
Most wireless gaming headsets operate on Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz radio frequencies, classifying them as telecommunication devices. In Indonesia, this makes them subject to mandatory approval by:
- SDPPI (Directorate General of Resources and Equipment of Post and Information Technology)
under the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo).
Certification ensures that the device meets national standards for:
- Radio frequency stability
- Safety compliance
- Interference prevention
- Legal importation and distribution
Any wireless device sold without SDPPI approval is considered illegal and may be blocked from the market.
Main Certification Requirements
1. Technical Documentation
- Device specifications
- Frequency and power output
- Circuit diagrams (when required)
- User manual
- Device photos (internal & external)
2. Product Sample for Testing
The headset must undergo RF and EMC testing at an SDPPI-accredited laboratory.
3. Indonesian Certificate Holder
Foreign brands must appoint a local representative with a valid Indonesian business entity to act as the legal certificate holder.
Step-by-Step Certification Process
1. Preparation Phase
Gather all technical documents and prepare the product sample.
2. Lab Testing
RF and EMC testing is conducted to verify frequency stability, bandwidth, power output, and compliance with Indonesian regulations.
3. Submission to SDPPI
All documents and test reports are uploaded to the SDPPI Online Licensing System.
4. Evaluation & Verification
SDPPI checks the data, validates the lab results, and ensures all frequency parameters match Indonesian requirements.
5. Certificate Issuance
If approved, SDPPI issues an official Certificate of Approval, allowing the device to be marketed legally in Indonesia.
Processing Time
On average, certification takes 3–6 weeks, depending on:
- Lab queue
- Completeness of documents
- Device frequency type
- SDPPI review workload
Post-Certification Requirements
Once certified, the product must display:
- SDPPI Label
- Certificate Number
- Kominfo compliance mark (when applicable)
This labeling must appear on the device, packaging, or user manual.
Common Issues That Delay Certification
- Inaccurate RF specifications
- Wrong Bluetooth version data
- Missing test reports
- Unapproved wireless modules
- No assigned local certificate holder
Working with an experienced consultant can prevent these issues and speed up approval.
