The Indonesian market for Smart TV devices continues to grow rapidly due to increasing digital consumption and smart home adoption. However, before Smart TVs can be legally distributed in Indonesia, manufacturers and importers must comply with national regulations, including obtaining POSTEL Certification.
POSTEL certification is issued by the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) and ensures that telecommunication devices operate safely, do not interfere with networks, and meet Indonesian technical standards. This article explains the POSTEL certification process for Smart TV devices in Indonesia in detail.
What Is POSTEL Certification for Smart TV?
POSTEL certification is mandatory for devices equipped with wireless communication features such as:
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- Internet connectivity
Since Smart TVs utilize these technologies, they are classified as telecommunication devices and must obtain POSTEL approval prior to commercialization in Indonesia.
Failure to comply may result in:
- Customs clearance delays
- Product recalls
- Administrative penalties
Regulatory Framework
POSTEL certification is regulated under:
- Indonesian Telecommunication Law
- Ministerial regulations on telecommunication device certification
- Technical requirements issued by DJID
Compliance ensures legal market access and enhances brand credibility.
