What Is SNI for Electrical Conductors?
SNI for Electrical Conductors is Indonesia’s national standard governing the quality, safety, and performance of electrical conductors such as cables and wires used in electrical installations and electronic equipment. This standard aims to reduce risks of short circuits, electrical failures, and fire hazards while ensuring consumer safety.
Regulatory Framework
The implementation of SNI Electrical Conductors is based on Law No. 20 of 2014 on Standardization and Conformity Assessment, Law No. 3 of 2014 on Industry, Government Regulation No. 34 of 2018, and mandatory SNI regulations issued by the Ministry of Industry. Electrical conductors are considered critical components and must be certified through KAN-accredited certification bodies and testing laboratories.
Scope of SNI Electrical Conductors
The standard applies to low-voltage electrical cables, copper and aluminum conductors, flexible and fixed installation cables, and conductors used in household and industrial electrical equipment. Testing includes electrical performance, insulation resistance, heat resistance, and mechanical strength.
Importance of SNI Certification
SNI certification ensures regulatory compliance, enhances electrical safety, builds consumer trust, and enables market access in Indonesia. Non-compliant products may be subject to penalties, recalls, or license revocation.
Certification Process
The certification process includes application submission, ISO 9001 quality management system audit, product testing at accredited laboratories, evaluation, certification issuance, and periodic surveillance.
Conclusion
SNI Electrical Conductors certification is both a legal requirement and a quality assurance mechanism. Biruni Consulting provides comprehensive support to ensure a smooth, compliant, and efficient SNI certification process.
