What is SNI Certification?
SNI (Standar Nasional Indonesia) is a national standard set by the National Standardization Agency (BSN) to ensure product safety, quality, and compliance with regulations in Indonesia. SNI certification may be mandatory or voluntary depending on the product type.
Are All Products Eligible for SNI Certification?
No, not all products can be certified under the SNI scheme. There are several criteria that determine whether a product qualifies for certification.
Examples of Products That Cannot Be Certified with SNI and Why
1. Digital or Non-Physical Products (e.g. apps, software)
- Reason: SNI standards generally apply to physical products or services with physical safety or quality considerations. Software doesn’t have a measurable physical standard under SNI.
2. Antiques or Art Collections
- Reason: These items are unique and not mass-produced. SNI applies to repeatable and measurable production processes with standardization.
3. Custom-Made or One-Off Products
- Examples: Custom-made furniture, DIY machines.
- Reason: These items don’t follow a consistent specification across production batches, making standard certification inapplicable.
4. Products Without Available SNI Standard
- Some new or innovative products are yet to have applicable SNI standards.
- Reason: The creation of new SNI standards takes time and must go through a regulated assessment process.
