Postel certification is a mandatory requirement for manufacturers producing or marketing telecommunication devices in Indonesia. Issued by the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Kominfo/Komdigi), this certification confirms that devices comply with national technical, safety, and network compatibility standards.
For manufacturers, Postel certification is not only a regulatory obligation but also a strategic advantage to enhance product competitiveness.
What Is Postel Certification
Postel certification is a technical evaluation and testing process for telecommunication devices using wired or wireless communication technologies. The process ensures that devices do not interfere with radio frequency usage, are safe for users, and comply with Indonesian regulations.
Manufacturers of smartphones, networking equipment, IoT devices, and radio-based products are required to obtain an official Postel certificate before market distribution.
Benefits of Postel Certification for Manufacturers
Postel certification provides several key benefits for manufacturers, including:
-
Legal authorization to distribute products in Indonesia

Increased trust from distributors and end users

Impact of Non-Compliance
