The Importance of DJID Certification for Door Locks
Modern door locks are not only used as mechanical locks. Door locks in general do not require SDPPI (or now DJID) certification unless they have telecommunication features such as Bluetooth, NFC, WLAN, or cellular. SDPPI/DJID certification is required for all telecommunication devices and equipment that transmit or receive radio waves in Indonesia, not for all types of electronic products. This feature allows the door lock to connect to a smartphone or smart home security system.
Since it uses telecommunications devices, door locks with wireless features must be tested and obtain DJID certification before being sold in the Indonesian market.
Modern door locks are not just mechanical devices anymore. Many are equipped with wireless features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or RFID, enabling integration with smartphones or smart home systems.
Because of their wireless functionality, smart door locks are categorized as telecommunication devices and must undergo DJID certification before being sold in Indonesia.
Understanding DJID Regulation in Indonesia
SDPPI (Directorate General of Post and Information Technology Resources) or now changed to DJID (Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure) is a unit under the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (KOMDIGI) tasked with formulating and implementing policies in the field of digital infrastructure, including matters related to telecommunications equipment certification or institutions that regulate telecommunications equipment certification.
This regulation aims to:
- Protecting consumers from substandard devices.
- Ensuring safety, reliability, and power performance.
- Ensuring that door locks function according to established standards and provide effective protection against unauthorized access, thereby increasing consumer confidence in the product.
- Ensuring frequency spectrum security.
- Ensuring wireless communication quality.
Benefits of a certified door lock:
- Higher security
- Enhanced convenience
- Access monitoring
- Flexibility in access settings
- Modern appearance
If a door lock is purely mechanical, it does not need DJID approval. However, for digital smart locks with wireless connectivity, certification is mandatory.
Testing and Certification Process
The DJID certification process typically includes:
- Submission of technical documents by the manufacturer or importer.
- Testing in accredited laboratories to verify frequency, power output, and compliance with Indonesian standards.
- Issuance of the certificate if the product meets all requirements.
Without DJID approval, smart door locks cannot enter the official Indonesian market and may face legal consequences.
