Along with advanced technology development, it creates a practical door access with a high level of security system. This innovative solution has combined a digital system and RFID technology by providing a high security and easy door access for the users. RFID digital door lock is an electronic door access equipped with RFID technology that can provide convenience in door access activities.
In this article we will discuss all about RFID digital door lock and its DJID certification requirements in Indonesia.
What is RFID digital door lock?
Radio Frequency Identification or also known as RFID is a technology that has been implemented in various industries. Currently, the RFID technology is also already used in the industry of access control system. In addition, RFID technology is also very widely used in the supply chain management process.
RFID digital door lock is an electronic door lock that uses RFID technology for the door access process. The type of key used for RFID digital door locks is an RFID tag, such as a card or key chain, which is detected by an RFID reader on the door lock.
How RFID digital door lock works?

The increasingly widespread use of RFID technology has also had an impact on its embedding in digital locks. The RFID system on a digital door lock consists of several interrelated components.
The components of an RFID digital door lock include an RFID tag, reader, and locking system. Each component has its own role after being installed together on the RFID digital door lock.
RFID digital door locks work by using radio waves to recognize and authorize access via RFID tag like card. This card has a smart chip inside that can stores access information. When the cards are brought close to the RFID readers on the door lock, the radio waves will send information to the reader. If the card is authorized, then the door lock will open.
Advantages of RFID digital door lock
Here are some of the advantages of RFID digital door locks in details.
- High security system: RFID digital door locks are more difficult to counterfeit or manipulate compared to traditional key system. RFID technology uses encryption and radio frequency to identify access cards, making them difficult to copy or steal.
- Easy to use: users can easily open the door by simply swiping the access card or touching the reader. No more hassle of carrying and storing physical keys.
- Flexibility of access settings: RFID digital door locks allow flexible access settings, such as to grant temporary access to guests or to restrict access to certain areas.
- Efficient access management: RFID systems make access management easier, especially for applications such as hotels and apartments. Door locks can be programmed to grant temporary access to guests without the need for physical keys.

- Vulnerability to be hacked: although this product offers additional security, it is also vulnerable to hacking. Therefore, make sure to choose a product with strong encryption and perform regular software updates.
- Dependence on electrical power: RFID digital door lock requires electrical power to operate. If there is a power outage and the backup battery is insufficient, you may have difficulty opening the door. Therefore, always make sure to check the condition of the battery and replace it before it runs out.
DJID certification for RFID digital door lock
Since RFID digital door locks use radio frequency waves, it is mandatory for every compatible RFID devices to meet applicable technical standards in Indonesia through a certification process called DJID certification.
RFID technology is regulated based technical regulation of KEPMEN KOMINFO No. 260 year 2024. Therefore, it is important for every RFID digital door lock distributor to carry out DJID certification before doing any sales activity in Indonesia. In addition, DJID certification process will ensure that the RFID digital door lock will not cause any interference when being it being used by the users.
