In the modern era, household cooling appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and showcase refrigerators have become essential in everyday life. However, not all products on the market meet adequate safety and quality standards. In Indonesia, the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) is the main reference for ensuring that household cooling products are safe to use, energy efficient, and environmentally friendly. This is why the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) is so important for household cooling products. As stipulated by the government through Regulation of the Minister of Industry No. 7 of 2025 concerning the Mandatory Implementation of Indonesian National Standards for Household Electronics.
Why is SNI Important?
SNI is not just a formal regulation, but also a guarantee for consumers and producers. With SNI certification:
- Guaranteeing User/Consumer Safety
Electronic products carry the risk of fire, short circuits, and even dangerous refrigerant leaks. With SNI, every cooling product is rigorously tested to ensure its safety. For example, electrical insulation tests, heat-resistant materials, and the use of environmentally friendly refrigerants.
- Maintaining Energy Efficiency
SNI also regulates energy efficiency. SNI-certified cooling equipment must be energy efficient and not burden household bills. This also supports the government’s national energy conservation program.
- Increasing Consumer Confidence
Products with the SNI label provide consumers with a sense of security. This certification indicates that the product has undergone official testing by an accredited institution, so that its quality and reliability can be accounted for.
- Supporting Healthy Business Competition
With SNI regulations in place, manufacturers are required to improve product quality in accordance with standards. This creates healthy business competition and reduces the circulation of counterfeit or low-quality products in the market.
- Environmental Protection
In addition to safety and quality factors, SNI also regulates the use of environmentally friendly refrigerants to reduce the impact of global warming. Thus, this certification not only protects users but also preserves the environment.
