Indonesia continues to update its telecommunication device certification regulations to align with technological advancement, network security, and international standards. Certification is administered by the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Kominfo/Komdigi) through the Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure (DJID/SDPPI).
