The Lead Time for Indonesia DJID Certification
The lead time for Indonesia DJID certification depends on the submission path chosen because the paperwork and local testing paths have different lead times.
For the paperwork route, it will take a shorter time, starting from the date of receipt of all the required documents, it only takes about 1 week.
As for the local testing route, it takes 5 weeks from the time the sample and all documents required for testing are received.
It is important to note that the testing queue at the Lab, the readiness of documents and samples, and the smoothness of the testing process will also affect this lead time.
To understand more about the lead time for Indonesia DJID certification, here is a detailed explanation of the process:
Paperwork Route
The paperwork route applies only to products that already have a test report from an overseas laboratory recognized by DJID.
A list of recognized testing laboratories can be found at this link. If the link is not accessible in your region, please try accessing it by using a VPN.
The lead time for the paperwork route takes about 3-5 working days, starting from the receipt of all required documents.
Here are the paperwork application requirements:
- Product specifications
- Product photo
- Letter of self-declaration of conformity
- And MOU or distributor agreement (between certificate holder or applicant and brand owner)
Local Testing Route
Basically, in the local testing route, it is necessary to obtain a test report as approval to conduct the test at an authorized local laboratory. Here are some lists of laboratories that the Dimulti Indonesia Team usually uses to get RF test reports:
- Balai Besar Pengujian Perangkat Telekomunikasi (BBPPT)
- Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure (DJID)
- PT Hyundai Calibration and Certification Technologies Indonesia
- Testing Laboratory of PT Bureau of Veritas Consumer Product Services
- PT Sucofindo (Persero) Cibitung Operations Central Laboratory
Each laboratory has a different lead time for RF testing, ranging from 5 to 17 working days. The product specifications and the testing class taken (each lab offers different testing classes such as regular, express, and VIP testing) affect the testing lead time itself.
As for EMC and electrical safety testing, the test laboratories commonly used by the Dimulti Indonesia Team are:
- Electronics and EMC Laboratory of the Center for Materials and Engineering Goods (B4T)
- PT Hyundai Calibration and Certification Technologies Indonesia
- Surabaya Standardization and Industrial Services Center (BSPJI)
The lead times for EMC and Electrical Safety tests also vary, for regular lead times it is around 3-5 weeks. When all the tests (RF, EMC, and Electrical Safety) are done in parallel, it will take about 4 weeks.
After the test report is completed, the next step is to submit the test report along with the application documents to the DJID headquarters.
After all documents are submitted, the paperwork and local test will take the same path, namely evaluation by DJID for 24 hours, then there will be feedback from DJID for the completeness of the document whether it passes or not.
If the evaluation passes, an invoice will be issued for payment. The final certificate will be issued after the payment process has been carried out. However, when the document evaluation does not pass, you must submit the document again by completing the notes from the DJID to fulfill the requirements.
Conclusion
The question of the lead time for Indonesia DJID certification is very tentative depending on the readiness of samples, and documents, the smoothness of the testing process, and the testing queue that occurs at the Lab.
The paperwork route applies only to products that already have a test report from an overseas laboratory recognized by DJID. Lead time for the paperwork route takes about 3-5 working days, starting from the receipt of all required documents.
The local testing route is necessary to obtain a test report as approval to conduct the test at an authorized local laboratory. Regular lead times for local testing are around 3-5 weeks. When all the tests (RF, EMC, and Electrical Safety) are done in parallel, it will take about 4 weeks.
