Validity Period for Indonesia DJID Certification
PERMEN No. 3 Tahun 2024 which explains the validity period for Indonesia DJID certification is explained in CHAPTER III on the Issuance of Telecommunication Equipment and/or Telecommunication Device Certificates, precisely in articles 18:
Article 18
- The certificate as intended in Article 15 is not limited in time.
- The Certificate Holder may manufacture, assemble, or import Telecommunications tools and/or telecommunications devices for trading and/or use in the territory of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia no later than 3 (three) years after the Certificate as intended in paragraph (1) is issued.
- If the Certificate Holder will manufacture, assemble, or import Telecommunications tools and/or telecommunications devices for trading and/or use in the territory of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia after the deadline as intended in paragraph (2), it is obligated to comply with the Technical Standards based on the results Tested and proven with a new certificate.
As explained in the above regulation, it can be concluded that the validity period for Indonesia DJID certification is valid for three years. However, the applicant must recertify the product if, after three years from the issuance of the certificate, the product is still being manufactured, assembled, imported, or traded in and to Indonesia.
In the recertification process, the test report from the initial certification process may be used, by ensuring that the technical regulations referred to in the previous test report are still valid. If not, then testing will need to be conducted again based on the applicable regulations.
This recertification process will follow the process as a new application at DJID. After the recertification process, the certificate number issued will be different from the first certificate number issued during the initial certification process. Consequently, after the issuance of the recertification certificate, the label on the product will need to be modified to match the latest certificate number.
The label modification process only needs to be done for products that are still in the production process and have not been imported into Indonesia. As for products that have been imported into Indonesia, stored in Indonesian warehouses, or distributed in the Indonesian market, there is no need to make label changes, it is sufficient to use the DJID label in the initial certification process.
Conclusion
Validity period for Indonesia DJID certification is 3 years from the issuance date of the certificate. If after 3 years the goods are still being manufactured, assembled, or imported for being used or sold in Indonesia, they must be recertified again.
If the goods are no longer manufactured, assembled, or imported for being used or sold in Indonesia after 3 years, recertification is not needed. The existing stock in Indonesia still can use the old certificate until it runs out.
To simplify the process of obtaining DJID certification for distributors, importers, or brand representatives who want to sell ICT products in Indonesia, you can contact the Type Approval Certification Service for ICT Products which can be a solution for you.
