Indonesia SNI Certification Testing Guide for Electric Fans

Overview of Indonesia SNI Certification

The Indonesian National Standard (SNI – Standard National Indonesia) is the only applicable standard in Indonesia. It is formulated by the Indonesian Technical Committee and defined by the National Standardization Agency of Indonesia (BSN). The development of SNI follows the principles of transparency, fairness, and cooperation as per WTO regulations, aiming to protect consumer rights and promote industrial development.

All regulated products exported to Indonesia must bear the SNI marking; otherwise, they cannot enter the Indonesian market.

Market Outlook

Indonesia has a tropical climate and is located near the equator. Its hot and humid conditions provide a vast sales potential for electric fans. As consumers increasingly seek comfort and energy efficiency, the demand for electric fans continues to grow. Fans with energy-saving, low-noise, and smart control features are particularly favored. Hence, the market prospect for electric fans in Indonesia is highly promising.

To ensure the safety of electric fan products, the Indonesian Ministry of Industry has established strict regulations and standards. Before selling electric fans in Indonesia, products must meet the relevant requirements and obtain SNI certification. The standards cover various types of fans, including ceiling fans, duct fans, pedestal fans, table fans, and wall-mounted fans.
