Wireless keyboards are now one of the most popular computer accessories because of their flexibility, clean design, and ease of use. Although simple, these devices fall under the category of radio frequency (RF) equipment, meaning they transmit signals using specific frequency bands. Because of this, wireless keyboards must obtain Postel (SDPPI) certification before they can be legally imported or sold in Indonesia.
This article explains what a wireless keyboard is and outlines the full certification process needed to comply with Indonesian regulatory requirements.
What Is a Wireless Keyboard?
A wireless keyboard sends input signals to a computer or gadget without using a physical cable. The common wireless technologies used include:
1. Bluetooth
A low-power wireless technology widely supported by laptops, tablets, and PCs.
Benefits:
-Low power consumption
-Broad compatibility
-No dongle required
2. 2.4 GHz RF (USB Dongle)
This type uses a small USB receiver.
Advantages:
-Lower latency
-More stable for gaming
-Easy plug-and-play setup
3. Infrared (IR) – rarely used today
Requires direct line-of-sight and is now considered outdated.
Because wireless keyboards use Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz RF, they are categorized as Short-Range Devices (SRD) and must comply with Indonesian RF regulations.
Why Wireless Keyboards Need Postel (SDPPI/DJID) Certification
Indonesia requires all RF-emitting products to be certified to ensure:
-No harmful interference
-Compliance with RF output limits
-Safety for users
-Conformity with international standards
Non-certified products may be rejected at customs and subject to penalties.
How to Obtain Postel Certification in Indonesia
Below is the official process for importers, brand owners, and distributors:
1. Identify the Certification Scheme
Options include:
- New device certification (full test)
- Certification using foreign test reports
- Family/variant certification
Cerapproval helps determine the most cost-efficient path.
2. Prepare Technical Documents
These include:
- Product datasheet
- User manual
- Product photos
- Label information
- Test reports (if available)
- Manufacturer declarations
- Legal business documents
3. Laboratory Testing (If Required)
If foreign reports aren’t accepted, the product must be tested for:
- Bluetooth parameters
- RF 2.4 GHz performance
- EMC testing
- Safety checks (if applicable)
4. Submission to SDPPI/DJID
All documents are uploaded via OSS & SDPPI online portals.
5. Certificate Issuance
Typical processing time:
- Full test: 5-7 working days
- Foreign report: 5–14 working days
Once approved, the product can be imported and sold in Indonesia.
