SNI certification for household electronic products

The Ministry of Industry has issued a new regulation of PERMENPERIN No. 7 year 2025 about the implementation of SNI mandatory for household electronic products. This regulation is established to protect consumers and domestic producers from low-quality imported products. The ministerial regulation number 7 should come to effect after six months since the promulgated date of the regulation. And because the regulation has been promulgated on 24 January 2025, then the enforcement should be on 24 July 2025. Therefore, in this article we will discuss all about new regulation of SNI mandatory for household electronic products.

Scope of SNI mandatory for household electronic products

Referring to ministerial regulation number 7, there are several types of household electronic products that subjected to SNI certification. The regulation defines household electronic as household electronic products with a rated supply value of not more than 250V AC single phase or DC supply.

SNI conformity assessment

The implementation of SNI mandatory for household electronic products is carried out through conformity assessment activities based on certification system type 5. Conformity assessment under certification system type 5 is carried out based on two main stages below:

• Factory audit: SNI certification for type 5 requires audit of production site and implementation of quality management systems in accordance with ISO 9001:2015.
• Sample testing: SNI certification type 5 also requires a quality conformity testing based on applicable SNI testing standards.

Both factory audit and sample testing must be carried out by appointed LSPro and testing laboratory by the Ministry of Industry. The results of conformity assessment process is stated in the form of SNI Certificate.

SNI certificate holders

Basically, there is no significant change for SNI certificate holders in this new regulation. SNI certificates can still only be owned by:

• Local manufacturer companies
• Foreign manufacturers

SNI certificate is issued to one local manufacturer company or one foreign manufacturer for one production site only. Based on the new regulation, certificate holders can list more than one brand in one SNI certificate. The SNI certificate is valid for five years from the issuance date of SNI certificate.

Maclon case for SNI household electronic products

Based on the new regulation, there is a new rule when foreign manufacturer uses maclon factory. If foreign manufacturer as brand owner uses maclon factories to produce their household electronic products, then SNI certificate can only be processed if maclon factories have their own brand and must be registered in Directorate General of Intellectual Property. So, maclon factories must have their own existing SNI certificate for their own brand.

If foreign manufacturers as brand owner insist on certifying household electronic products manufactured by maclon factories that do not have SNI certificate, it can not be processed because it against regulation.
