Regulatory Update - Indonesia Changes to Accredited Laboratory Lists for HKT and non-HKT Devices Further to PCS’s Regulatory Update dated 29th April 2020, the Indonesian Regulator - Direktorat Jenderal Sumber Daya dan Perangkat Pos dan Informatika (SDPPI) – has updated the accredited laboratories list whereby a paperwork Type Approval application process can be followed. This updated list is effective immediately, from 23rd July 2020. As a reminder, a paperwork-only approach for applications to SDPPI is currently permitted for all devices if all test reports are from an SDPPI-accredited laboratory. In any other case, local testing is required. This requirement is split into HKT devices (Cellular Phones, Handheld Computers, Computer Tablets) and non-HKT devices (all other categories). Both lists of accredited labs for HKT and non-HKT are now consolidated into one regulation -124 Tahun 2020. This is included as an attachment to this Regulatory Update, as well as a PCS English translation. There are now 16 labs on the HKT list, down from 33. There are now 72 labs on the non-HKT list, down from 150. Both HKT and non-HKT lab lists are valid until 23rd January 2021. The searchable table online on SDPPI’s website showing which labs are currently accredited for HKT and non-HKT products is here. ‘YA’ indicates that a lab is accredited; ‘TIDAK’ indicates that a lab is not accredited.
