Why Postel Permit Requirements Matter
Postel permit requirements refer to the mandatory administrative and technical criteria that must be fulfilled before telecommunication equipment can be legally distributed in Indonesia. The certification is issued by the Directorate General of SDPPI under the Ministry of Communication and Informatics.
Under Ministerial Regulation No. 3 of 2024 regarding Certification of Telecommunication Equipment and Devices, all devices using radio frequency spectrum or connected to telecommunication networks must obtain certification prior to market circulation.
Understanding these requirements is essential to avoid rejection, delays, or regulatory penalties.
