In today’s smart home era, water heaters are no longer just simple heating devices. Many modern models now come with wireless connectivity features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, or IoT integration. These innovations allow homeowners to control water heaters via smartphones, home automation systems, or even integrate them with smart assistants.
Because these features operate using radio frequencies, water heaters with wireless modules are classified as telecommunication devices in Indonesia. As a result, they are legally required to obtain SDPPI/DJID Certification before being imported, marketed, or sold officially in Indonesia.
⚖️ Legal Basis
The certification requirement is mandated by the following regulations:
- Ministerial Regulation of KOMDIGI No. 3 of 2024 on Telecommunication Device Certification
- KOMDIGI Decree No. 260 of 2024 (Bluetooth & Short-Range Devices)
- KOMDIGI Decree No. 12 of 2025 (Wi-Fi/RLAN Devices)
These regulations ensure that smart water heaters meet Indonesian technical standards for safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and radio frequency spectrum usage.
📋 Required Documents for SDPPI/DJID Certification
To apply for water heater certification, the following documents must be prepared:
- ✅ Test Report from an accredited or MRA-recognized laboratory
- ✅ Product Technical Specifications (wireless modules: Wi-Fi/Bluetooth)
- ✅ Product Photos with clear brand and model details
- ✅ Trademark Ownership Certificate
- ✅ Importer/Distributor Appointment Letter (if submitted by a local representative)
- ✅ Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
🔑 Why Certification Matters
Without SDPPI/DJID certification, smart water heaters will face serious consequences:
- ❌ Rejected by Indonesian Customs during importation
- ❌ Cannot be officially sold on Indonesian marketplaces
- ❌ Lose consumer trust due to non-compliance with local standards
By securing certification, businesses can ensure smoother market entry, regulatory compliance, and higher consumer confidence.
