What Is Showcase Equipment?
Showcase equipment refers to transparent refrigeration units designed to display and preserve products such as beverages, dairy items, frozen food, and other perishable goods. These units are commonly used in supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, hotels, and retail outlets.
Beyond visual merchandising, showcase refrigerators play a critical role in maintaining product freshness, food safety, and temperature stability. Because they involve electrical and refrigeration systems, showcase equipment must comply with safety and quality standards before being distributed in Indonesia.
One of the key compliance requirements is SNI Certification (Standard National Indonesia).
Is SNI Certification Mandatory for Showcase?
In Indonesia, certain electrical and electronic products are subject to mandatory SNI certification under regulations issued by the Ministry of Industry and the National Standardization Agency (BSN).
Commercial refrigeration equipment, including certain types of showcase units, may fall under mandatory SNI categories depending on their specifications and classification.
SNI certification ensures that products:
- Meet national safety standards
- Comply with quality and performance benchmarks
- Follow applicable technical regulations
- Are safe for consumers and commercial use
Non-compliant products may face import restrictions, market withdrawal, or administrative sanctions.
SNI Certification Process for Showcase Equipment
The general certification process includes:
1. Product Classification
Identify the HS Code and applicable technical regulations for the specific showcase model.
2. Laboratory Testing
The product must undergo testing at an accredited laboratory recognized by KAN (National Accreditation Committee). Testing covers electrical safety, energy consumption, cooling performance, and structural durability.
3. Factory Audit
A factory inspection is conducted to evaluate the manufacturer’s quality management system and production consistency.
4. Issuance of SPPT-SNI
Upon successful testing and audit, the Product Certification Body (LSPro) issues the SPPT-SNI certificate.
5. Surveillance Audit
Periodic surveillance ensures continuous compliance with SNI standards.
Required Documents
Common documentation includes:
- Company legal documents
- Product technical specifications
- User manual
- Electrical diagrams
- Existing test reports (if available)
Requirements may vary depending on the certification scheme.
Timeline and Certification Cost
The SNI certification process typically takes 6–12 weeks, depending on documentation readiness and laboratory scheduling.
Certification costs vary based on:
- Number of product models
- Factory location (domestic or overseas)
- Testing scope
- Certification scheme
