Washing machines have become one of the essential household electronics for today’s modern house. Along with the technological development, washing machines also have developed in terms of their technological features. Smart washing machine is a form of innovation with modern technological features embedded. It is not just an electronic equipment that helps the process of washing clothes but also realizes a practical modern lifestyle.
In this article we will discuss all about smart washing machine and its DJID certification requirements in Indonesia.
What is smart washing machine?
Smart washing machine is a type of electronic washing machine that combines various modern advanced features for its functionality. One of the modern features offered by smart washing machines is the possibility for the users to control their washing machine remotely via a Wifi connection.
The existence of smart washing machine has created a trend in how to use washing machines in today’s modern life, where connectivity is very important.
How smart washing machine works?
Many of home appliance manufacturers have developed smart washing machine along with compatible smartphone applications. The connectivity built between the smart washing machine and its smartphone application can create ease in the washing process. The users still can control the washing process even when they are outside of the house.
Wifi is a wireless technology that commonly used in smart home appliances including smart washing machine. The connectivity process is built by connecting the smart washing machine with a control device such as a smartphone or computer tablet.
For the needs of this connectivity process, manufacturers will develop compatible smartphone applications for its smart washing machine operation. Generally, the connectivity process is carried out in the following stages:
- In order to build a connection to the smart washing machine, the users first need to download a compatible application on their smartphone.
- Users can use that smartphone application to connect to the smart washing machine via a Wifi network.
- Once they are connected, now the users can control the washing process remotely through their smartphone application.
Following are several conveniences provided by using the smartphone application for smart washing machines.
- The smart washing machine application can easily adjust the ideal washing program for its users.
- Knowing clearly the history of the washing program that has been used.
- Users can control the washing process anywhere with their smart washing machine applications.
- Users are still able to do other activities because the smart washing machine application will notify them when the washing process is complete.
- The application will give timely notifications for maintenance and cleaning of the washing machine.
Benefits of smart washing machine
Smart washing machine offers several benefits compared to regular washing machine. Here are some benefits that users can get.
- Run the washing process automatically even when the users are not at home because the control process can be done remotely.
- Offers various types of washing modes that can be adjusted to the type of clothing material. This feature can help maintain the quality of clothes in good condition.
- Smart washing machines are also supported by inverter technology that allows users to save electricity consumption.
- Users no longer need to think about how much detergent to use because smart washing machines are equipped with autodose technology.
DJID certification for smart washing machine
As already said before, smart washing machines are operated with the support of Wifi connectivity. Electronic devices equipped with Wifi features can be categorized as telecommunications devices. Therefore, every smart washing machine that will be marketed in Indonesia is mandatory to meet the applicable technical standards.
The fulfillment of these technical standards is carried out through a product certification process called DJID certification. Therefore, it is important for every smart washing machine distributor to carry out DJID certification before doing any sales activity in Indonesia. In addition, the DJID certification can ensure that the smart washing machine will not cause any interference when being in an environment with dense connectivity networks.
Before submitting application for DJID certification, Indonesian distributors need to complete the RF, EMC, and Electrical Safety test first.
RF testing
The RF testing for Wifi feature of the smart washing machine needs to be done with conducted samples. Generally, smart washing machines only use Wifi frequency band of 2.4 GHz for their connectivity process.
Wifi testing parameters in Indonesia refer to the technical regulation of PERMEN KOMDIGI No 12 year 2025 and following are the testing parameters.
| Frequency band | Output power | Spurious emission | Testing method |
| 2400 MHz – 2483.5 MHz | < 27 dBm EIRP | EN 300 328 | EN 300 328 |
In addition, the RF testing for smart washing machine is generally conducted by using the Wifi communication module embedded due to the big size issue.
EMC testing
The required EMC testing parameters for smart washing machine are radiated emission and conducted emission. The testing of both parameters is performed based on the standard of CISPR 32.
Electrical Safety test
Since the smart washing machine is supplied by direct AC power, then it is mandatory to do electrical safety test. This testing is performed to prevent the possible electric shock occurs when the users use their smart washing machine at home.
The required electrical safety testing parameters for smart washing machines are electric strength and leakage current. The testing of both parameters is performed based on the standard of IEC 60950.
