Indonesian National Standard for Truck and Bus Tires
SNI 99:2019 is the Indonesian National Standard that specifies the quality requirements and testing methods for truck and bus tires. The standard was issued by the National Standardization Agency of Indonesia (BSN) to ensure that truck and bus tires manufactured and marketed in Indonesia comply with established safety, quality, and performance requirements. SNI 99:2019 is a revision of SNI 0099:2012, introducing improvements to tire dimensions, markings, and additional tire sizes in line with developments in tire technology.
SNI 99:2019 is one of the standards used in the Indonesian SNI certification scheme for motor vehicle tires. It applies to new truck and bus tires and serves as the primary reference during product certification before distribution in Indonesia. According to BSN, SNI 99:2019 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 33 pages.
What Is SNI 99:2019?
SNI 99:2019 is the standard that establishes quality requirements and testing methods for new truck and bus tires. Its primary objective is to ensure that tire products provide adequate quality, safety, durability, and performance for heavy-duty commercial vehicle applications. The standard was developed by referring to internationally recognized technical references to accommodate advancements in tire technology.
The standard serves as a guideline for manufacturers, importers, testing laboratories, and Product Certification Bodies (LSPro) when conducting conformity assessments for truck and bus tires.
Requirements Under SNI 99:2019
SNI 99:2019 specifies various technical requirements that tire products must satisfy before they can be declared compliant with the Indonesian National Standard.
The standard covers:
- Truck and bus 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 99:2019
Product Identification
The first stage is identifying the truck or bus tire type, including tire size, radial or bias construction, load index, speed symbol, rim type, and other technical specifications. This ensures the product falls within the scope of SNI 99:2019.
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
Truck and bus tires are tested according to the methods specified in SNI 99:2019.
Testing may include:
- Tire dimension testing.
- Load endurance testing.
- Speed endurance testing.
- Structural strength testing.
- Other technical tests required under SNI 99:2019.
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 truck and bus tires comply with SNI 99:2019.
Why Is Understanding SNI 99:2019 Important?
Understanding SNI 99:2019 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.
