Postel Certification for Notebook Devices in Indonesia

The rapid growth of digital transformation in Indonesia has significantly increased the demand for notebook devices across various sectors, including business, education, and personal use. However, before a notebook can be legally marketed or imported into Indonesia, it must comply with national regulations, particularly Postel Certification (SDPPI DJID).

Postel Certification is mandatory for electronic devices equipped with radio frequency features such as WiFi, Bluetooth, or cellular connectivity.
