Definition: This type of device refers to a wireless communication device that transmits less than 10 milliwatts of power.

Applications: Low power devices such as small sensors and remote controls.

Features: Low power consumption, easy integration, suitable for long working hours.

The new regulations specify the frequency range and technical specifications corresponding to various types of equipment, while drawing on standardized testing procedures in the United States and Europe. In particular, cutting-edge technologies such as UWB cordless phones, WPT wireless power transmission and ITS intelligent transportation systems have been given new frequency band resources.

The new technical regulations cover multiple types of SRDS, and these devices play an important role in various fields. With the continuous development of technology, the application scenarios of SRD will also continue to expand, bringing more convenience to people's lives. Therefore, manufacturers and importers need to pay close attention to changes in regulations to ensure that products comply with the latest technical standards and power limits in order to facilitate the smooth entry of products into the Indonesian market.

SDPPI certification application method and related notes:

 SDPPI certification application method:

Obtaining the Indonesian Radio and Communication Equipment Compliance Certification (SDPPI) is a key step in market access for Short range wireless communications (SRD) products planned for the Indonesian market. There are two ways to apply for SDPPI certification:

1.Direct testing: The applicant can send the product sample directly to the local laboratory in Indonesia designated by SDPPI for comprehensive testing including frequency, transmission power, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrical safety.

2.Approved report transfer: Applicants can choose SDPPI officially recognized overseas laboratory for testing, submit the test report for transfer. For some products with special ports or functions, samples need to be provided to local testing (such as SAR testing, laser testing, performance testing, etc.) At present, BTL Group has covered HKT and non-HKT products are SDPPI overseas accredited laboratory qualifications, which can provide enterprises with optimized certification schemes.

Attention after certification:

1. Label and identification: After obtaining the SDPPI certificate, the SDPPI certification mark needs to be marked on the product, and it needs to be uploaded to the certification system within 30 days after the certificate is issued.

2. certificate validity: SDPPI certification is valid for 3 years, if there is still import demand after the expiration, it needs to be re-certified, no renewal.
