Certification is crucial when marketing telecommunication products in Indonesia. One mandatory certificate is the SDPPI Postel certificate.
Items requiring SDPPI certification include those with telecommunication features such as Bluetooth, WLAN, NFC/SRD, or Cellular (GSM, WCDMA, LTE, 5G). So, does TWS (True Wireless Stereo) need certification? Yes, TWS must have an SDPPI certificate because it includes Bluetooth, one of the components that require testing.
Items are not required to have certification if they do not have any of these features or only have a GPS receiver. Additionally, some items such as computers/PCs, network devices, switches, routers, and servers also need SDPPI certification.
Currently, Indonesia is in the process of compiling a list of telecommunication equipment and/or devices based on the mandate of PM Kominfo No. 3 of 2024 Article 33, which regulates the supervision of telecommunication equipment and/or devices based on the harmonized system code.
Furthermore, this compilation is also based on the updates of the Indonesian Customs Tariff Book (BTKI) 2022 by the Ministry of Finance. Some of the updates include references to the Harmonized System (HS Code), the number of HS Codes, the number of device groups, the method of item digit numbering, and HS Code groups.
