Washing machines are among the most widely used household electronic appliances in Indonesia. To ensure product safety, quality, and energy efficiency, the Indonesian government requires washing machines to comply with SNI (Indonesian National Standard) certification before being marketed.
SNI certification is not only a regulatory obligation but also a critical factor in building consumer trust and brand credibility. Without SNI certification, washing machine products may face market rejection, legal sanctions, or product recalls. Therefore, understanding the certification process is essential for manufacturers and importers.
What Is SNI Certification for Washing Machines?
SNI certification for washing machines is a conformity assessment process that verifies whether a product meets Indonesia’s national technical standards. Certification is issued by an accredited Product Certification Body (LSPro) under the supervision of KAN (National Accreditation Committee).
The SNI standards typically cover:
- Electrical and mechanical safety
- Energy efficiency performance
- Washing effectiveness
- Product durability and reliability
An SNI certificate proves that the washing machine has passed all required laboratory tests and regulatory evaluations.
Is SNI Certification Mandatory for Washing Machines?
Yes. Washing machines are classified as mandatory SNI products in Indonesia. This obligation applies to:
- Domestic manufacturers
- Importers
- Brand owners
Selling washing machines without SNI certification is prohibited and may result in administrative penalties or legal action.
