Indonesia is a potential market for manufacturers to expand their business due to its large population and increasing purchasing power. However, it is important for manufacturers to know all the required permits related to their product before selling it in Indonesia. DJID certification is a mandatory permit for devices with radio frequency features that are produced or imported for sell in Indonesia.
According to current regulations, only local Indonesian companies with a registered Business Identification Number (NIB) can apply for DJID certification. In other words, manufacturers must have a representative in Indonesia to process the DJID certification. This requirement becomes a significant challenge, especially for manufacturers without established channels with local companies in Indonesia. Therefore, in this article we will discuss Dimulti’s role in supporting manufacturers as certificate holder for DJID certification.
Common challenges of processing DJID certification
Processing DJID certification is not always easy for some manufacturers. They sometimes face numerous challenges when obtaining the DJID certification. These challenges may vary such as difficulties on procuring the test samples, test reports from unrecognized labs, or no local company in Indonesia as a certificate holder.
Most manufacturers that just starting out their business in Indonesia struggle to find channels to local companies. This obstacle may often delays the DJID certification process. In the worst case, manufacturers may cancel their plan to sell their products in Indonesia due to the difficulty to find channels to local companies.
Given the crucial role of local companies as certificate holders for processing DJID certification, Dimulti is here to help manufacturers overcome this specific challenge. Dimulti as a compliance service company with more than 17 years of experience in processing DJID certification can provides any support to manufacturers, including acting as certificate holders.
Role of Dimulti as certificate holder for DJID certification
Selecting a local partner company as a certificate holder for DJID certification is not easy. Manufacturers must ensure that the local partner company has a NIB number registered with the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) and also an OSS account.
Dimulti, a company with a registered NIB number and already had OSS account, is eligible to serve as a certificate holder for DJID certification. Furthermore, the Dimulti team will also assist manufacturers with MOU requirements to avoid any delays in the certification process. Here are one of the example of DJID certificate issued under Dimulti:
Even though Dimulti can act as a manufacturer’s certificate holder, it is important to note that the scope and responsibility that Dimulti offer is for marketing purposes only. The meaning of marketing purpose is limited to showing that the product has complied with standards in Indonesia.
If manufacturers intend to import or distribute their products, then they must obtain a new certificate under their importers or distributors in Indonesia. Manufacturers need to apply for a new certification only, re-testing is not required because Dimulti can support to issue a test report authorization letter for processing a new DJID application.
Dimulti’s role as a certificate holder is very clear and it can help manufacturers to ensure their products comply with Indonesian standards. Here are some points manufacturers should consider if they want to process DJID certification under Dimulti:
- DJID certificate under Dimulti cannot be used by other company for importation and selling activity.
- New importers that want to import and sell the products in Indonesia, then they must re-apply for certification under their company name.
- The certificate under Dimulti is solely for marketing purposes only, indicating that the product has met Indonesian standards.
- Manufacturers should coordinate with Dimulti if they want to import their products to Indonesia.
Dimulti on preparation to provide full support for importation
Dimulti already helped many manufacturers to act as their certificate holders for type approval certification in Indonesia. Dimulti’s role as certificate holder is solely to help manufacturers ensure the products compliance requirements.
However, lookig at the complexity of re-apply for a new certification under new importers and also incurred cost during the process, Dimulti plans to help manufacturers more than just a certificate holder. At the moment, Dimulti is still on preparation to provide full support for the manufacturers from certification until the importation process.
Providing importation service will significantly change the current framework of DJID certification process under Dimulti. Furthermore, manufacturers will not be burdened with re-applying the certificate when they want to import their products to Indonesia.
Dimulti will act as a third party importer, coordinating the import process from manufacturers and shipping the products to local distributors in Indonesia. So, if you have any question related to DJID certification, please don’t hesitate to contact us by sending enquiry to info@narmadi.com.
