In Indonesia, electric irons are classified as high-risk household electronic appliances and therefore must comply with the SNI (Indonesian National Standard) before entering the market. This mandatory certification ensures that each product meets strict criteria for safety, durability, and electrical performance.
For manufacturers, importers, and brand owners, obtaining SNI Certification is essential to distribute products legally in retail channels, modern marketplaces, and official e-commerce platforms.
Why Do Electric Irons Must Have SNI?
Electric irons generate heat and operate directly from the electrical grid, creating potential risks such as short circuits, overheating, and fire hazards. SNI certification ensures that the product is designed and manufactured safely through compliance with:
- Safe construction and materials
- Electrical shock protection
- Heat efficiency standards
- Cable and electrical component reliability
- Thermal stability and overheating prevention
This certification improves user safety and increases trust in the product’s quality.
Requirements Checklist for SNI Certification of Electric Irons
To apply for SNI, applicants must prepare:
- Company documents (Business license, NIB, legal identity)
- Technical product specifications
- Electrical circuit diagrams
- User manual
- Product and packaging photos
- Labeling information
- Internal test results (optional)
- Brand authorization agreement
