The Directorate General of Resources and Equipment of Post and Information Technology (SDPPI) in Indonesia has officially released Regulation No. 109/2024. This document brings forth critical updates to the document evaluation process required for the certification of telecommunication devices. These changes, effective from April 1st, 2024, are pivotal for manufacturers, importers, and stakeholders within the telecommunication industry, ensuring compliance and smooth market entry.
Key Updates in Regulation No. 109/2024
Updated List of Accredited Laboratories
SDPPI has updated the list of overseas laboratories accredited to handle non-HKT (Household, Kitchen, and Toys) devices. The new list is integral for compliance as only test reports from these accredited laboratories will be accepted for the certification process. This revision ensures that all evaluations are conducted under standardized and approved conditions, enhancing reliability across the board.
Consistency of Test Report Locations
A significant update is the requirement for the consistency of test location addresses. The address stated on the test report must match exactly with the address listed on the SDPPI website. Any inconsistency or discrepancy will lead to the rejection of the certification application, emphasizing the importance of accuracy in documentation.
Alignment of Test Lab Scope with SDPPI Requirements
Laboratories must ensure that their testing scope aligns precisely with the specifications listed on the SDPPI website. This alignment is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the certification process and ensuring that all tests adhere to the national standards and requirements.
Local Testing Requirement for Optical Safety Lasers
In a shift towards stricter compliance, optical safety lasers must now be tested in local laboratories rather than relying on overseas reports. This move aims to bolster the testing framework within Indonesia and ensure that all safety protocols are met with rigor.
Mandatory Digital Signatures on Test Reports
To further secure the certification process, all test reports—both existing and new—must feature a digital signature. This requirement guarantees the authenticity of the documents and curbs potential fraud, setting a new standard in the verification process.
The implementation of SDPPI Regulation No. 109/2024 marks a significant step towards enhancing the regulatory framework for telecommunication devices in Indonesia. These updates not only streamline the certification process but also reinforce the commitment to upholding high standards of safety and compliance. Stakeholders are advised to review these changes thoroughly and prepare to align their operations accordingly.
