Is SNI or K3L Certification Mandatory for Water Purifiers?
In recent years, public awareness of clean water quality has significantly increased. This growing concern has driven the demand for water purifiers. For manufacturers, distributors, and importers, a key question arises: Is SNI certification or K3L compliance mandatory for water purifier products in Indonesia?
SNI (Indonesian National Standard): Is It Mandatory for Water Purifiers?
SNI is the national technical standard regulated by Indonesiaβs National Standardization Agency (BSN). Some products are mandated to comply with SNI, especially those affecting public health and safety.
Currently, water purifiers are not on the mandatory SNI list. However, considering the productβs close link to health, future regulations may enforce mandatory standards.
While not required at the moment, voluntary SNI certification is highly recommended for several reasons:
- Increases consumer trust
- Complies with requirements for government procurement
- Eases export opportunities to countries that recognize national standards
K3L (Occupational Health, Safety, and Environment): Still Obligatory
Although SNI certification is not mandatory or voluntary, water purifiers must still comply with K3L regulations. These products must be tested for electrical safety (if they use electricity), hazardous materials, and environmental impact (filter waste, chemicals).
Agencies such as the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) and the Ministry of Health issue technical regulations under K3L guidelines.
Relevant certifications may include:
- Electrical Safety Testing (if powered)
- Chemical content and heavy metal analysis
- Waste management certification
