Certification Introduction

Indonesia implements a dual mandatory access system for motor vehicles and their components, centered on SNI certification managed by the National Standardization Agency of Indonesia (BSN) and motor vehicle safety certification from the Ministry of Transportation (MoT). Motor vehicles and key components included in the mandatory catalog must obtain corresponding certification before they can be imported or launched into the Indonesian market. Uncertified products are prohibited from circulation, and violators will face product removal, fines, and even criminal penalties. Special-purpose products such as R&D test samples and exhibition products can apply for exemption.

Laws and Regulations

Current core regulations include Indonesia's Regulation No. 19 of 2018 and Minister of Industry Regulation No. 48 of 2020; In March 2025, the Indonesian Ministry of Industry issued new Regulation No. 7, which will officially take effect in July 2025 and be fully implemented starting July 2026, carrying out a systematic reform of the SNI certification system; In 2023, the Ministry of Transportation revised the Indonesian Motor Vehicle Technical Regulations, clarifying the mandatory certification requirements for imported motor vehicle components.

Technical Requirements

Currently, 18 categories of motor vehicle components have been included in the SNI mandatory certification catalog, including brake pads, seat belts, tires, lamps, safety glass, storage batteries, etc. Products must comply with the corresponding Indonesian SNI national standards, and UNECE ECE regulations are recognized as equivalent standards. Safety performance must meet corresponding indicators, such as friction coefficient and wear rate of brake pads, rolling resistance and wet grip of tires, light distribution performance of lamps, etc. Environmental requirements: Emission-related components must comply with Euro V standards, rubber products must pass SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) testing, and a 30% recycled material ratio requirement will be enforced starting from 2025. Production enterprises must establish a quality management system compliant with ISO 9001:2015.
