Indonesian National Standard for Motorcycle Tires
SNI 101:2019 is the Indonesian National Standard that specifies the quality requirements and testing methods for motorcycle tires. The standard was issued by the National Standardization Agency of Indonesia (BSN) to ensure that motorcycle tires manufactured and marketed in Indonesia comply with established safety, quality, and performance requirements. SNI 101:2019 is a revision of SNI 0101:2012, introducing improvements in testing methods, dimensions, markings, and additional tire sizes to accommodate developments in tire technology.
SNI 101:2019 is one of the standards used in the Indonesian SNI certification scheme for motor vehicle tires. It applies to new motorcycle tires and serves as the primary reference during product certification before distribution in Indonesia. According to BSN, SNI 101:2019 is currently valid, was established on 19 March 2019, was developed by Technical Committee 83-01 Rubber and Plastics Industry, falls under ICS 83.160.10 Road Vehicle Tires, and consists of 55 pages.
What Is SNI 101:2019?
SNI 101:2019 is the standard that establishes quality requirements and testing methods for new motorcycle tires. Its primary objective is to improve rider safety while aligning tire specifications with developments in automotive technology. During its development, the standard was updated with the latest technical references, including improvements to testing methods, dimensions, markings, and tire size classifications.
The standard serves as a guideline for manufacturers, importers, testing laboratories, and Product Certification Bodies (LSPro) when conducting conformity assessments for motorcycle tires.
Requirements Under SNI 101:2019
SNI 101:2019 specifies various technical requirements that tire products must satisfy before they can be declared compliant with the Indonesian National Standard.
The standard covers:
- Motorcycle tire quality requirements.
- Tire dimensions and sizes.
- Tire marking requirements.
- Load index and load capacity.
- Maximum speed symbols.
- Sampling procedures.
- Laboratory testing methods.
- Test acceptance criteria.
- Tire construction and rim specifications.
How to Obtain Certification Based on SNI 101:2019
Product Identification
The first stage is identifying the motorcycle tire type, including tire size, construction, load index, speed symbol, rim type, and other technical specifications. This ensures the product falls within the scope of SNI 101:2019.
Document Preparation
Documents generally required include:
- Company legal documents.
- Product technical specifications.
- Product type or model list.
- Quality management system documentation.
- Product labels and information.
- Manufacturing process documentation.
- Other supporting documents as required.
Certification Application
The certification application is submitted to an accredited Product Certification Body (LSPro). Once the documentation has been verified, technical evaluation and laboratory testing begin.
Laboratory Testing
Motorcycle tires are tested according to the methods specified in SNI 101:2019.
Testing may include:
- Tire dimension testing.
- Tread Wear Indicator (TWI) measurement.
- Breaking energy testing.
- Endurance testing.
- High-speed testing.
Factory Audit
Where required under the certification scheme, a factory audit verifies that the quality management system and manufacturing process consistently produce compliant products.
SPPT SNI Issuance
After laboratory testing, factory audits, and document evaluations have successfully met all applicable requirements, the Product Certificate for the Use of the SNI Mark (SPPT SNI) is issued as evidence that the motorcycle tires comply with SNI 101:2019.
Why Is Understanding SNI 101:2019 Important?
Understanding SNI 101:2019 enables manufacturers and importers to prepare more effectively for certification. Compliance with the standard not only fulfills regulatory requirements but also improves product quality, increases customer confidence, and supports legal distribution in Indonesia.
Professional certification assistance also helps companies prepare documentation, coordinate laboratory testing, support factory audits, and accelerate SPPT SNI issuance according to applicable regulations.
