SNI (Standar Nasional Indonesia) certification is a mandatory requirement for many products entering the Indonesian market. While the objective of SNI is to ensure safety, quality, and performance, the certification process itself can be complex—especially for companies unfamiliar with Indonesia’s regulatory system.
This is where local experts play a crucial role. With deep knowledge of regulations, established relationships with authorities, and hands-on experience, local compliance professionals manage SNI certification efficiently, helping businesses achieve approval faster and with fewer obstacles.
Why SNI Certification Can Be Challenging
Companies often face difficulties such as:
- Unclear understanding of applicable SNI standards
- Complex documentation requirements
- Coordination with accredited laboratories
- Language and communication barriers
- Repeated revisions due to non-compliance
Without proper guidance, these challenges can significantly slow down the certification timeline.
