Based on the explanation above, Indonesian SDPPI label consists of three components: Certificate Number and QR Code, QR Code, and Warning Sign. Below is detailed explanation about each component:
- Certificate Number and PLG ID
Certificate number and PLG ID information can be found on certificate. You may check your SDPPI certificate to get the information. And on label, the format of certificate number and PLG ID is:
2. QR Code and warning sign.
QR code can be downloaded in the SDPPI website once the certificate is issued.
3. Warning Signs
Regarding warning signs, we can crop the format from the regulation. For your information, SDPPI doesn’t provide High Resolution, AI, or Vector image of the warning sign. So, the only format we have is taken by screenshotting warning sign picture from the regulation. Below is the warning sign format.
Regarding the application of SDPPI label, it is based on article 26 above. After QR Code, Warning Sign, and Label are affixed to the product and/or packaging, applicant is mandatory to report label application by uploading label photos to SDPPI website.
After label is affixed to the product or to packaging box, we need to take 2 photos: close up label of label showing the detailed image of the label (so SDPPI can see label content in detail) and zoom out photos of the packaging or device that shows the location of label applications. Below is the example of the photo.
After label photos are taken, applicant is mandatory to upload these photos to SDPPI website within 30 working days from certificate issuance date. If after 30 working days the photos is still not uploaded yet, applicant will get 1st notification letter. There will be 2 notification letters with grace period of each letter is 14 working days. After the grace period of two letters end, applicant will get final notification letter which means sanction. Below is the timeline of label upload deadline.
Talking further about sanction, below is the sanction of not uploading label photos to SDPPI website based on Communication and Informatics Ministry Regulation Number 3 year of 2024 article 58 and 59:
