The rapid growth of health and wellness technology in Indonesia has increased the demand for electronic devices such as massage chairs. These products are widely used in homes, shopping malls, airports, clinics, and wellness centers. However, many importers and distributors still ask: Do massage chairs require Postel Certification? And if so, how can Postel Certification be processed in Indonesia?
This article is prepared by Cerapproval, a trusted certification agency, to provide a clear and SEO-friendly guide for businesses entering the Indonesian market.
Are Massage Chairs Required to Have Postel Certification?
The answer is: it depends on the product’s technology features.
Postel Certification (DJID) is mandatory for electronic devices equipped with telecommunication or radio frequency functions. Massage chairs require Postel Certification if they include:
- Bluetooth, WiFi, or NFC module
- Application connection to smartphone
- Wireless remote control
- IoT (Internet of Things) system
If the massage chair operates purely with wired or mechanical systems, Postel Certification is not required. However, most modern massage chairs integrate wireless connectivity, making Postel Certification legally mandatory.
Postel Certification Regulations in Indonesia
Postel Certification is regulated by:
- Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi)
- Directorate General of DJID
These regulations ensure that telecommunication devices comply with technical standards and radio frequency safety requirements before entering the Indonesian market.
Without Postel Certification, products may:
- Be detained by customs
- Be withdrawn from the market
- Face administrative penalties or fines
How to Process Postel Certification for Massage Chairs
Below are the general steps to obtain Postel Certification in Indonesia:
1. Product Specification Identification
Confirm whether the massage chair contains radio modules such as Bluetooth, WiFi, or NFC.
2. Technical Documentation Preparation
Commonly required documents include:
- Product data sheet or detail specification
- User manual
- Supporting certificates (if available)
3. Testing at Accredited Laboratories
The product undergoes testing to ensure:
- Compliance with Indonesian frequency standards
- Safe transmission power levels
- No interference with national frequency spectrum
4. Submission to DJID System
After passing laboratory testing, the test reports are submitted through the DJID online system.
5. Certificate Issuance
Once approved, the official Postel Certificate is issued, allowing legal distribution in Indonesia.
