What Is SNI Voltage Testing?
SNI Voltage Testing is a technical testing process conducted to ensure that electrical products comply with voltage requirements specified in the Indonesian National Standards (SNI). This testing ensures product safety, reliability, and proper electrical performance before market distribution.
Voltage testing is a critical requirement in SNI certification, as it directly relates to electric shock prevention, equipment protection, and fire risk reduction.
Regulatory Basis for SNI Voltage Testing
SNI voltage testing is conducted based on applicable Indonesian National Standards for electrical products. It is a mandatory component of the SNI certification process for products operating with electrical power.
Products that fail voltage testing are considered non-compliant and cannot be legally marketed in Indonesia.
Types of Voltage Testing under SNI
Common voltage tests under SNI include:
-
Nominal voltage testing
-
Overvoltage resistance testing
-
Dielectric strength testing
-
Operational voltage stability testing
-
Electrical insulation voltage testing
The required tests depend on the product’s function and electrical characteristics.
Products Requiring SNI Voltage Testing
Electrical products commonly subject to SNI voltage testing include:
-
Household electrical appliances
-
Electrical machines and motors
-
Lamps and lighting equipment
-
Electricity meters and measuring devices
-
Electrical panels and installation components
Each product category follows specific SNI voltage test parameters.
SNI Voltage Testing Process
The general SNI voltage testing process includes:
-
Identification of applicable SNI standards
-
Preparation of test samples and technical documents
-
Testing at accredited laboratories
-
Analysis and evaluation of test results
-
Issuance of test reports
-
Use of test results for SNI certification
Testing must be conducted by competent and accredited testing laboratories.
