Telecommunication device certification is mandatory in Indonesia before devices can be manufactured, imported, or distributed. The process ensures compliance with technical standards, safety, and Kominfo/Komdigi regulations via DJID (SDPPI).
Many businesses find certification procedures confusing. This article provides a complete guide to telecommunication device certification for smoother and faster approval.
Telecommunication Device Certification Steps
1. Identify Device Type
-
Determine device category (smartphone, router, IoT, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules, etc.)
-
Confirm if the device uses modules requiring certification
2. Prepare Technical Documentation
Required documents include:
-
Test reports (RF, EMC, safety) from verified laboratories
-
Device datasheet and technical specifications
-
User manual with safety instructions
-
Product photos and labels
-
Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
-
Company legal documents (articles of incorporation, NIB, business license)
3. Laboratory Testing
-
Conduct RF, EMC, and safety tests at DJID/SDPPI-recognized laboratories
-
Ensure test results match the device model submitted
4. Submit Certification to DJID/SDPPI
-
Upload complete documents via the official Kominfo/Komdigi system
-
Choose the appropriate certification scheme (full approval, family approval, or SDoC)
5. Evaluation and Certificate Issuance
-
DJID/SDPPI reviews documents and test results
-
If compliant, an official certificate is issued and the device can be legally distributed
Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
Incomplete or inconsistent documentation
-
Tests conducted in non-verified laboratories
-
Incorrect device or module classification
-
Ignoring latest regulations
These mistakes can delay or reject the certification process.
