Every Information, Communication, and Technology (ICT) with a radio frequency-based product must obtain certification from the local government authority. In Indonesia, the authority is the Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure (DJID) under the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (KOMDIGI).
DJID certification ensures that all ICT products entering the Indonesian market meet national standards for safety, quality, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Every manufacturer and international company must meet these requirements to market their products.
Therefore, a partner is needed to handle the DJID certification in Indonesia. PT Dimulti Pilar Narmadi is one of the trusted certification partners and certificate holders that will help international manufacturers and companies comply with these regulations efficiently and professionally.

Why Manufacturers Need DJID Certification?
In Indonesia, the DJID certification is a mandatory requirement for all ICT products that use radio frequencies (RF) or connect to public networks. Manufacturers who underestimate the importance of this certification will encounter barriers to market entry.
Without the proper certification, products that use radio frequencies cannot be legally imported, distributed, or sold in Indonesia. By obtaining the RF certification, products have proven the following:
- The required technical and safety standards have been met.
- They do not cause harmful interference to other communication systems.
- They are eligible for customs clearance and commercial distribution.
- Consumer confidence in the reliability of the product is established.
In other words, the official key for manufacturers to operate in Indonesia’s ICT market is the DJID certification.
Common Challenges Faced by Manufacturers
Applying for the DJID certification is not always a smooth process. Many foreign manufacturers face significant challenges during the certification process. Here are some of the challenges:
Lack of understanding of Indonesian technical standards and documentation.
- Difficult coordination with DJID-accredited laboratories.
- Incomplete test reports or administrative requirements are causing delays.
- Does not have a local representative partner as the certificate holder, which is mandatory under Indonesian law.
These obstacles often consume time and money. Sometimes they even cause the products to be detained at customs. This is where Dimulti comes in, providing a complete and reliable solution.

The Role of Dimulti as a Certificate Holders in Indonesia
If a manufacturer does not have a distributor or importer in Indonesia, it must have a local representative. This is because DJID certificate holders must have a local legal entity. However, there is no need to worry, as many manufacturers have previously entrusted this matter to Dimulti.
As a certificate holder, Dimulti legally holds the DJID certificate on behalf of the manufacturer. That way, the product and brand ownership remain with the manufacturer, while Dimulti ensures legal compliance with Indonesian type approval regulations.
DJID Certificate example under the name of Dimulti
Several things that manufacturers need to pay attention to:
- The certificate cannot be used by other importers to import products.
- Other importers must reapply for certification to import products.
- The certificate in Dimulti’s name is solely for marketing purposes, indicating that the product meets Indonesian Type Approval certification standards.
- Manufacturers must inform Dimulti if they wish to apply for a certificate for importing products.
This will be disclosed by Dimulti in a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Unauthorized use of the certificate by other importers is beyond our control.
Supporting Business Expansion and Import Opportunities
So far, many manufacturers have used Dimulti’s services as a certificate holder. Seeing this, we considered the difficulties faced by manufacturers who need to reapply for certificates if they want to import the products.
Therefore, at the end of the 2025 quarter, Dimulti opened up opportunities for cooperation as an importer of your products. In this case, we will act as a third-party importer who will then forward your product to distributors.
This way, you will not need to reapply for certificates as you would when importing products using other importers. In addition, you will be able to enter the Indonesian import and retail ecosystem more quickly.
Dimulti not only helps you obtain DJID certification, but also helps you expand your business opportunities in Indonesia sustainably.
