Complete Guide to Indonesia SNI Certification

Household Appliances / Building Materials / Automotive Parts / IT Equipment / Cosmetics and Other Industrial Products Must Meet Indonesian Market Entry Requirements

1. Understanding SNI

SNI (Standar Nasional Indonesia) is a mandatory national standard certification formulated and managed by the Indonesian National Standardization Agency (BSN). It covers various categories including industrial products and consumer goods. Controlled products that fail to pass SNI certification are prohibited from being sold or circulated in the Indonesian market.

1.1 Which Products Require SNI Certification?

Category	Specific Products
Household Appliances	Refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, rice cookers, electric kettles
Building Materials	Reinforced steel, cement, tiles, glass, pipes
Automotive Parts	Tires, brake pads, batteries, spark plugs
IT Equipment	Mobile phones, laptops, chargers, power adapters
Cosmetics	Skincare lotions, hair dye, shower gel, toothpaste (high-risk categories)
Machinery and Tools	Welding machines, water pumps, generators, electric tools

Exceptions:

Low-risk daily necessities (such as plastic tableware) can undergo simplified registration and do not require the full SNI certification process.
Purely imported equipment for personal use (not for sale) does not require SNI certification but requires proof of personal use.

1.2 Types of SNI Certification

Certification Type	Applicable Products	Validity Period
SNI Mandatory	High-risk industrial products (e.g., appliances/building materials)	5 years
SNI Voluntary	Low-risk consumer goods	No fixed validity period (registration system)
SNI Import	Imported controlled products	5 years
SNI Local Production	Locally produced products in Indonesia	5 years
SNI Cosmetics	Imported/local cosmetics (high risk)	3 years

II. Certification Process & Core Basic Information

Data Collection and Verification

Preparation Stage

Prepare Indonesian local agent/company information, product technical documents, and factory qualification documents (ISO/production license).

Product Testing and Sample Submission

15-30 working days

Send product samples to BSN-accredited laboratories for compliance testing and obtain test reports conforming to SNI standards.

Submission of Application Documents

5-10 working days

Submit test reports, application forms, product specifications, and other documents to BSN, completing the online system declaration.

Review and Factory Inspection

20-40 working days

BSN reviews the documents and conducts on-site factory inspections if necessary (e.g., high-risk electrical/building materials products).

Certificate Issuance and Registration

5-15 working days

Upon approval, obtain the SNI certificate and complete product registration; certificate information can be verified on the BSN official website.
