Postel SDPPI Certification Requirements for Low-Power Devices (Children’s Toys)

The children’s toy industry has increasingly adopted telecommunication features like remote control and Bluetooth. These toys not only need to be safe for children but must also comply with regulations set by the Indonesian government. One of the key regulations is the Postel SDPPI certification requirement for low-power devices. Postel SDPPI Certification Requirements for Children’s Toys According to Article 7, Paragraph 4 of the Minister of Communication and Informatics Regulation No. 3 of 2024, regarding the Certification of Telecommunication Equipment and/or Devices: Certificates for equipment and/or other devices with telecommunication features that use transmission power below 10 mW (milliWatt) and only have one (1) similar telecommunication feature can apply to more than one (1) variant as long as they have:1. The same brand and type of equipment and/or other devices; and2. The same brand and type of telecommunication equipment and/or telecommunication devices. How This Applies to Low-Power Telecommunication Toys Any telecommunication device with low power transmission can obtain a single SDPPI Postel certification for all series of devices, particularly for children’s toy products such as remote control cars, remote control helicopters, and other toys with low-power telecommunication features. Conditions for a Single SDPPI Postel Certificate to Apply to Multiple Series For a single SDPPI Postel certificate to cover all series, the following conditions must be met: Benefits for Toy Manufacturers This regulation simplifies the certification process for toy manufacturers.

Check Postel Certification for Items with These Specifications!

Certification is crucial when marketing telecommunication products in Indonesia. One mandatory certificate is the SDPPI Postel certificate. Items requiring SDPPI certification include those with telecommunication features such as Bluetooth, WLAN, NFC/SRD, or Cellular (GSM, WCDMA, LTE, 5G). So, does TWS (True Wireless Stereo) need certification? Yes, TWS must have an SDPPI certificate because it includes Bluetooth, one of the components that require testing. Items are not required to have certification if they do not have any of these features or only have a GPS receiver. Additionally, some items such as computers/PCs, network devices, switches, routers, and servers also need SDPPI certification. Currently, Indonesia is in the process of compiling a list of telecommunication equipment and/or devices based on the mandate of PM Kominfo No. 3 of 2024 Article 33, which regulates the supervision of telecommunication equipment and/or devices based on the harmonized system code. Furthermore, this compilation is also based on the updates of the Indonesian Customs Tariff Book (BTKI) 2022 by the Ministry of Finance. Some of the updates include references to the Harmonized System (HS Code), the number of HS Codes, the number of device groups, the method of item digit numbering, and HS Code groups.
