SDPPI Local tesing

Beginning December 1, 2023, only local test reports published by SDPPI Labs in Indonesia will be accepted for new applications, renewals, and re-certifications. There will be a grace period of 2 years to transition to the new SAR regulation. During this time applicants may submit a test report as previously required for new certificates, renewals, and re-certifications, however they must also provide a statement letter that the product will be tested for SAR at an SDPPI Lab. SDPPI will publish the certificate, and applicants will then have a maximum timeframe of 2 weeks after the certificate is published to provide the SAR test report. The certificate will be cancelled if the test report is not delivered within the timeframe, or if the test result fails.
