The Indonesian Government, through Ministerial Decree No. 469 of 2025, has formally established a comprehensive list of telecommunication equipment and other devices with telecommunication features that are mandatory to comply with technical standards before being manufactured, imported, distributed, or used within the territory of the Republic of Indonesia.
This decree serves as a crucial legal reference for the DJID (Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure) certification process formerly known as SDPPI Postel in accordance with Law No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions and Government Regulation No. 46 of 2021.
For manufacturers, brand owners, importers, and distributors, understanding the scope of devices listed in Ministerial Decree No. 469 of 2025 is essential to avoid certification rejection, customs clearance delays, or administrative sanctions.
Category A: Telecommunication Equipment Subject to Technical Standards
Based on the official table in Ministerial Decree No. 469 of 2025, the following core telecommunication device categories are explicitly required to obtain DJID/SDPPI certification.
1. Personal Computing and Communication Devices
Including:
- Laptops
- Tablet computers
- Handheld computers (PDA)
- Smartphones (smartphones and feature phones)
- Smartwatches with telecommunication functions
These devices are mandatory for certification because they contain radio transmitting and/or receiving features, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, or NFC.
2. Telephony and Communication Systems
Covering:
- Analog and digital telephones
- Cordless phones
- IP phones
- PBX / PABX / IP PBX systems
- Satellite phones
- GMPCS and GMDSS terminals
These products enable voice and data communications through wired, IP-based, or satellite networks, placing them squarely within the scope of regulated telecommunication equipment.
3. Network Infrastructure and Transmission Equipment
Including:
- Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) for cellular and trunking systems
- Microwave radios and microwave links
- Routers and network switches
- Modems (ISDN, xDSL, cellular, satellite, LTE, BWA)
- Optical Network Units (ONU/ONT)
- Optical Distribution Networks (ODN)
- Fiber optic repeaters
- Multiplexers (SDH, PDH, IP Multiplexer, WDM/DWDM)
These devices form the backbone of Indonesia’s telecommunications networks and are subject to strict compliance requirements covering frequency usage, output power, EMC, and electrical safety.
4. Radio and Broadcasting Equipment
As listed in the decree:
- Two-way radios (handheld radios)
- Trunking radio systems
- Radar systems (maritime, aviation, weather, automotive)
- Radio and television transmitters (analog and digital)
- Set Top Boxes (DVB-T2, DVB-S, DVB-C, IP STB)
- Integrated Receiver Decoders (IRD)
Because these devices directly use the radio frequency spectrum, DJID/SDPPI certification is mandatory and tightly regulated.
5. Wireless Modules and RF Devices
Explicitly mentioned in the table:
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC modules
- RFID devices
- USB Wi-Fi dongles
- LPWAN devices
- GPS trackers
- Antennas (RLAN, microwave, BWA, base station antennas)
Many modern IoT and electronic products fall into this category even if telecommunication is not their primary function.
Category B: Non-Telecommunication Devices with Wireless Features
A key highlight of Ministerial Decree No. 469 of 2025 is the expanded scope to include non-telecommunication products that incorporate wireless communication functions.
Examples of devices requiring DJID/SDPPI certification include:
Smart Home and Household Appliances
- Air conditioners with Wi-Fi
- Smart refrigerators
- Freezers and beverage coolers
- Water dispensers
- Ice makers
- Air purifiers
- Washing machines and dryers
- Water heaters
- Microwave ovens
- Smart rice cookers
- Coffee and tea makers
Consumer Electronics
- Printers and multifunction printers
- Wireless mouse, keyboard, and presenters
- Wireless chargers
- Speakers, headphones, and earphones
- CCTV, webcams, and digital cameras
- Smart TVs and set top boxes
- Multimedia projectors
IoT and Automotive Devices
- Car audio and infotainment systems
- GPS trackers
- Keyless entry systems
- Smart doorbells
- Smart switches and power sockets
- Smart lighting systems
- Drones (UAV)
Healthcare and Lifestyle Devices
- Electronic medical devices
- Massage equipment
- Hearing aids
- Smartwatches
- Toys and gaming consoles with wireless connectivity
Even when communication is a secondary feature, the presence of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, LPWAN, or NFC triggers mandatory DJID/SDPPI certification.
Why Ministerial Decree No. 469 of 2025 Matters
This regulation:
- Provides legal certainty for businesses
- Serves as a primary reference for DJID certification decisions
- Is used by Indonesian Customs for import compliance checks
- Helps prevent harmful interference and ensures user safety
Without DJID/SDPPI certification:
- Products cannot be legally marketed in Indonesia
- Shipments risk customs detention or rejection
- Businesses may face administrative penalties
