What Is SNI Certification for Electrical Protection?
SNI certification for electrical protection systems is a conformity assessment process to ensure that electrical protection devices comply with Indonesian National Standards (SNI) for safety, reliability, and performance. Electrical protection systems are designed to prevent electrical hazards such as overcurrent, short circuits, overvoltage, and earth leakage.
Non-compliant protection devices may cause equipment damage, fire hazards, and safety incidents.
Regulatory Basis
Mandatory SNI certification for electrical protection devices is regulated under Indonesian electricity and industrial standardization regulations. Certain protection devices are subject to mandatory SNI due to their critical safety functions.
Both locally manufactured and imported electrical protection products must comply with applicable SNI requirements before being marketed or installed in Indonesia.
Types of Electrical Protection Devices Covered by SNI
Electrical protection devices commonly covered by SNI include:
-
Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB)
-
Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB)
-
Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers (ELCB/RCD)
-
Surge Protection Devices (SPD)
-
Electrical fuses and safety devices
Each device must meet specific technical and testing requirements.
SNI Certification Process for Electrical Protection Devices
The SNI certification process generally includes:
-
Identification of applicable SNI standards
-
Preparation of technical and legal documentation
-
Product testing at accredited laboratories
-
Factory or quality system audit (if required)
-
Evaluation by Product Certification Body (LSPro)
-
Issuance of SNI Certificate
-
Application of SNI marking on products and packaging
