Preparation for telecommunication device certification is a critical step before products can be legally marketed in Indonesia. All telecommunication devices, whether imported or locally manufactured, must comply with certification requirements issued by the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Kominfo/Komdigi). Proper preparation helps prevent delays, rejections, and unexpected costs during the certification process.
What Is Telecommunication Device Certification?
Telecommunication device certification is a conformity assessment process ensuring that devices meet Indonesia’s technical and regulatory standards. Certification confirms that the product is safe, compliant, and does not interfere with national telecommunication networks.
Why Is Certification Preparation Important?
Proper preparation helps to:
-
Accelerate the certification process
-
Prevent technical test failures
-
Reduce document revisions
-
Minimize unexpected certification costs
Many certification failures occur due to incomplete preparation rather than product quality.
Key Steps in Certification Preparation
Important preparation stages include:
-
Product Classification
Determining whether the device is subject to mandatory certification. -
Technical Documentation Completion
Including technical specifications, user manuals, datasheets, and test reports. -
Appointment of Local Representative
Overseas manufacturers must appoint an official Indonesian legal entity. -
Accredited Laboratory Testing
Testing must comply with standards set by Kominfo/Komdigi. -
Regulatory Compliance Review
Ensuring alignment with the latest telecommunication regulations.
Common Challenges in Certification Preparation
-
Incomplete or incorrect technical documents
-
Previous certification failures
-
High-risk or special-category devices

Lack of understanding of updated regulations
