After the issuance of new Communication and Informatics Ministry Regulation Number 7 year of 2018 (PM Kominfo No 7 Tahun 2018) about Electronically Integrated Business Licensing on early August 2018, the whole telecommunication certification process is changed, including sample requirements of Indonesia SDPPI Approval Certification.
Now, this requirement depends on testing Lab’s policy, and each authorized testing Lab has its own policy regarding the sample. But one thing to be highlighted is that now SDPPI also obligates EMC testing for all technologies, and electrical safety test for products that are supplied by direct AC power. Therefore, we need 2 kinds of samples: one sample to do RF testing, and another one to do EMC and electrical safety testing.
RF Test
Here are sample requirements to proceed RF test in SDPPI Lab (Balai Besar Pengujian Perangkat Telekomunikasi), HCT Indonesia Lab, Bureau Veritas Indonesia Lab, and Sucofindo Lab. These are the lab that we use the most to test RF products.
- Sample should be in form of end product, not in form of module or PCB board. For example, if we are going to certify printer product, sample needs to be in form of printer, not only the PCB Board or RF module used by the printer.
- In addition to point number one, we can provide PCB Board/module sample, as long as we also submit the end products or the casing. The aim of providing end product or casing is to make the Lab know the real form of end product, and also, the lab needs to take photos of end product sample.
- For WLAN 2.4 and 5 GHz, SRD 2.4 GHz, ZigBee, ant+, Bluetooth, RFID 920 – 923 MHz, Low Power above 600 MHz (including Low Power 2.4 GHz), VHF/UHF, other RF technologies that has multiple channels, sample needs to be presented in “conducted mode” with RF (SMA Male/female) cable attached to the device.
- WLAN 2.4 and 5 GHz, SRD 2.4 GHz, ZigBee, ant+, Bluetooth, RFID 920 – 923 MHz, Low Power above 600 MHz (including Low Power 2.4 GHz), VHF/UHF, and other RF technologies that has multiple channels, testing will be conducted in conducted mode by using spectrum analyzer and Test software.
- Test software can be pre-installed software in the sample, or software that we need to run on laptop).
- The aim of using this test software is to make us able to control the transmission of the Radio frequency. Because testing lab will only test “up channel” and “low channel”, this software has to be able to set the transmission is transmitted only on one channel continuously in modulated wave.
- Test software must be accompanied with test SOP, which is basically procedure about how to set up the sample and how to run the test software. It can be in PDF or word format.
- For Low Power (Tx. Power less than 10 mW) products, sample required is one normal or radiated sample
- Sample needs to be labelled. This label needs to mention equipment name, model name, brand name, origin country (made in) and serial number.
EMC and Electrical Safety Test
To do this EMC test, there are several available Lab options; Badan Pengkajian dan Penerapan Teknologi (BPPT) in Tangerang, Banten Province, Laboratorium Balai Besar Bahan dan Barang Teknik (B4T) in Bandung, West Java, and Laboratorium Elektronika dan Telematika, Balai Riset dan Standardisasi (Baristand) Industri in Surabaya, East Java, HCT Indonesia in Jakarta, etc. Sample requirements for EMC testing in these labs are relatively the same, which is normal/commercial samples. We will use this one sample consecutively.
While for the standard, EMC standard used are CISPR 32 and EN. 301 489. While for electrical safety, the standard is IEC 60950-1 or IEC 62368-1 with tested parameters: Over voltage and leaked current.
Those are sample requirements on Indonesia SDPPI Approval Certification. However, this requirement can be changed anytime following current policies issued by SDPPI Lab. For further information about sample requirements, you can contact our contact windows directly.
