Indonesia Type Approval Summary

Indonesia is undoubtedly interesting for many manufacturers. Its strategic geographical location combined with their emerging economic and demography bonus make this country not only plays as a global manufacturer, but also a big and potential market. To access Indonesian market, especially for ICT products, there's a compliance instrument that manufacturer must comply with. This compliance instrument is called "DJID certification", or usually also called as "SDPPI certification" or "Postel Certification".

DJID stands for "Direktorat Jenderal Infrastruktur Digital", or "Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure" in English. This is an institution under the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs of Indonesia with responsibility of establishing communication technology standard, performing product testing through its local laboratories, issuing compliance certificate called "DJID Certificate", and monitor the certified products in the market.

Getting DJID approval certification can be tricky. Although it accepts foreign test reports using international standard such as CE or FCC, in some cases DJID also obligates local test especially if the test reports don't suffice their requirements. But, with the long experience and expertise in DJID type approval niche, Narmadi Company is ready to help you dealing with the complication of DJID certification procedure, eliminating hassles during the process, and get you the certificate based on expected target date.

Application Method

The process of obtaining Indonesia DJID Certificate for ICT products is divided into two stages: Obtaining Test Reports and Application Submissions. The requires test reports are:

1. Radio Frequency (RF) test Report
2. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) test report
3. Electrical Safety test report >> only mandatory for product supplied by direct AC power
4. Laser Safety test report
5. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) test report >> only mandatory for tablet or mobile phone

Obtaining test reports can be done by doing local testing in Indonesian domestic test lab or using existing reports issued by overseas labs that are recognized by DJID. Below is the flowchart of making DJID certificate.

Local Testing

Currently, RF, EMC, and electrical safety testing at a local lab is optional, especially if the product already has a test report issued by a DJID-recognized international test lab. For Laser safety and SAR, testing must be done at a local lab in Indonesia. In 2027, DJID plans to make local testing mandatory and the only method to apply for type approval certification.

Paperwork Only

Document evaluation or paperwork can be done if the product has RF, EMC, and Electrical Safety test reports issued by an overseas lab that is recognized by DJID. Other documents are still attached. This process is only allowed until the end of 2026.
