SNI processing for electrical products is a crucial requirement for manufacturers and importers intending to legally distribute electrical products in Indonesia. Electrical products such as cables, switches, sockets, circuit breakers, electrical panels, and certain electrical appliances must comply with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) to ensure safety and product quality.
Without SNI certification, electrical products may face market rejection, product recalls, or regulatory sanctions.
Why SNI Processing for Electrical Products Is Mandatory
Electrical products pose significant safety risks if they do not meet required standards. SNI certification ensures:
-
Consumer and end-user safety
-
Product quality and reliability
-
Compliance with Indonesian regulations
-
Legal distribution and market access
-
Increased brand trust and competitiveness
SNI certification is also often required for modern retail channels, government projects, and e-catalogue listings.
SNI Processing Stages for Electrical Products
The general SNI processing steps include:
-
Identification of mandatory SNI requirements
-
Preparation of technical and legal documentation
-
Product testing at KAN-accredited laboratories
-
Factory audit (if required)
-
Certification application to Product Certification Bodies (LSPro)
-
Issuance of SNI certificate
Each step must be conducted accurately to avoid delays or rejection.
Common Challenges in SNI Processing
Manufacturers and importers may encounter challenges such as:
-
Limited understanding of SNI electrical regulations
-
Non-compliance with laboratory testing parameters
-
Incomplete or invalid technical documentation
-
Complex coordination with LSPro and testing laboratories
