What Is a Bluetooth Postel Permit
A Bluetooth Postel Permit is mandatory certification required for any device using Bluetooth technology before it can be imported, marketed, or commercially distributed in Indonesia. Postel certification is issued by the Directorate General of SDPPI under the Ministry of Communication and Informatics.
Under Ministerial Regulation No. 3 of 2024 regarding Telecommunication Equipment Certification, all devices using radio frequency spectrum must obtain certification prior to distribution.
