Understanding SNI standards for round 2 pin plugs used in household electrical devices in Indonesia
A round 2 pin plug is a type of electrical plug with two round pins used to connect electrical appliances to power outlets. This plug type is commonly used in household appliances such as chargers, televisions, lamps, fans, and other electronic devices.
In Indonesia, electrical accessories must comply with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) to ensure safety and product quality. These standards are established by Badan Standardisasi Nasional.
The implementation of these standards is supervised by Kementerian Perindustrian Republik Indonesia, while certification bodies must be accredited by Komite Akreditasi Nasional.
SNI Regulations for Round 2 Pin Plugs
Electrical plugs fall into the category of low-voltage electrical installation accessories, meaning they must comply with safety standards before being distributed in the Indonesian market.
The objectives of SNI implementation include:
- Ensuring electrical safety for consumers.
- Preventing electric shock hazards.
- Reducing the risk of electrical fires.
- Ensuring construction quality and material durability.

SNI IEC 60884-1 specifies safety requirements for plugs and socket-outlets for household and similar purposes.
Key testing aspects include:
a. Plug pin dimensions
b. Heat and fire resistance
c. Mechanical strength
d. Electrical insulation safety
e. Protection against direct contact with live parts
SNI IEC 60884-2
Additional sections of IEC standards specify technical requirements for certain electrical accessories.
Testing parameters may include:
- Material resistance to heat.
- Mechanical strength of plug pins.
- Electrical current resistance.
