Wireless earbuds have rapidly become one of the most popular consumer electronic devices worldwide, including in Indonesia. Utilizing Bluetooth wireless technology, these devices fall under the category of telecommunications equipment. Therefore, before being distributed or sold in Indonesia, wireless earbuds must obtain Postel Certification (SDPPI Certification) issued by the Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs.
For manufacturers, importers, and distributors, understanding both the product characteristics and the certification process is essential to ensure legal market entry.
What Are Wireless Earbuds?
Wireless earbuds are compact, cable-free audio devices designed for listening and communication. They typically connect to smartphones, laptops, and other gadgets via Bluetooth technology operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency band.
Common features include:
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Built-in microphone
- Rechargeable battery
- Charging case
- Noise cancellation technology
Because they emit radio frequency signals, wireless earbuds are regulated telecommunications devices in Indonesia.
Why Is Postel Certification Mandatory?
Postel Certification ensures that:
- Devices do not interfere with other radio communications
- Radio frequency usage complies with national standards

- Products meet Indonesian regulatory requirements
Selling wireless earbuds without Postel certification may result in:
- Product recalls
- Administrative penalties
- Sales bans on e-commerce platforms
Regulatory Framework in Indonesia
Postel Certification is governed by:
- Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi)
- Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure (DJID)
