Guide to SNI Certification for Motor Vehicle Inner Tubes in Indonesia
Motor vehicle inner tubes are components used in tube-type tires to maintain stable air pressure during vehicle operation. Although installed inside the tire, they play an essential role in maintaining safety, ride comfort, and overall tire performance. Therefore, inner tubes must comply with the technical requirements established under the Indonesian National Standard (SNI).
The applicable standard is SNI 6700:2012 – Motor Vehicle Inner Tubes, which was reconfirmed in 2025 and remains in force. This standard is a revision of SNI 06-6700-2002 and includes improvements to testing methods, marking requirements, and updated technical references.
What Is SNI for Motor Vehicle Inner Tubes?
SNI for motor vehicle inner tubes is the Indonesian National Standard that specifies quality requirements, technical characteristics, testing methods, and marking requirements for motor vehicle inner tubes. It serves as a reference for manufacturers, importers, testing laboratories, and Product Certification Bodies (LSPro) when conducting product conformity assessments.
According to the National Standardization Agency of Indonesia (BSN), SNI 6700:2012 Reconfirmed 2025 is currently valid, was developed by Technical Committee 83-01 Rubber and Plastics Industry, falls under ICS 83.160.10 Road Vehicle Tires, and consists of 16 pages.

The standard includes:
- Inner tube quality requirements.
- Raw material requirements.
- Dimensions and size specifications.
- Product marking requirements.
- Sampling procedures.
- Laboratory testing methods.
- Test acceptance criteria.
- Product identification and storage requirements.
How to Obtain SNI Certification for Motor Vehicle Inner Tubes
Product Identification
The first stage is identifying the inner tube type, including dimensions, valve type, vehicle application, and other technical specifications. This determines the certification scope under SNI 6700:2012.
Document Preparation
Documents generally required include:
- Company legal documents.
- Product technical specifications.
- Product type or model list.
- Quality management system documentation.
- Product labels and information.
- Manufacturing process documentation.
- Other supporting documents as required.
Certification Application
The certification application is submitted to an accredited Product Certification Body (LSPro). After document verification, the technical evaluation and laboratory testing process begins.
Laboratory Testing
Motor vehicle inner tubes are tested according to the applicable standard.
Testing may include:
- Dimension testing.
- Air pressure retention testing.
- Joint strength testing.
- Physical material testing.
- Other technical tests required by the standard.
Factory Audit (if applicable)
Where required under the certification scheme, a factory audit verifies that the quality management system and manufacturing process consistently produce compliant products.
SPPT SNI Issuance
Once laboratory testing, factory audits, and document evaluations have successfully met all applicable requirements, the Product Certificate for the Use of the SNI Mark (SPPT SNI) is issued.
Why Is SNI Certification for Motor Vehicle Inner Tubes Important?
SNI certification helps ensure that motor vehicle inner tubes consistently meet quality and safety requirements. Compliance also helps manufacturers and importers fulfill regulatory obligations, improve customer confidence, and support legal product distribution in Indonesia.
Professional certification assistance helps companies prepare documentation, coordinate laboratory testing, support factory audits, and obtain SPPT SNI more efficiently.
