The demand for automotive Head Units has grown significantly as modern vehicles increasingly rely on digital infotainment systems. Navigation, connectivity, entertainment, and advanced vehicle integration make Head Units essential components in both OEM and aftermarket products. However, many manufacturers and importers still overlook the importance of regulatory compliance, especially the requirement for SNI (Indonesian National Standard) certification for electronic devices.
SNI certification ensures that products entering the Indonesian market meet defined safety, quality, and electromagnetic compatibility requirements. For Head Units containing complex electronic modules, SNI compliance is crucial to ensure safety and full market access.
Why Do Head Units Require SNI?
Key reasons include:
- User safety: Improperly designed Head Units may interfere with vehicle electrical systems.
- Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC): Devices must not cause harmful interference.
- Indonesian regulatory compliance: More automotive electronics are now covered under mandatory standards.
