Indonesia reveals EMC testing program

Indonesia has opened up about its electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing infrastructure for electronics products sold in the South East Asian country.

Overseen through the Indonesian Industry Ministry, its EMC testing infrastructure consists of several electronics testing laboratories that have been accredited for testing up to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), the only nationally applicable standard in Indonesia.

Among these is the Surabaya Center for Standardization and Industrial Services, located in the port city of Surabaya, which plays host to a 10-meter semi-anechoic chamber equipped with radio frequency (RF) testing for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi products.

The chamber, one of the largest of its kind in Indonesia, was founded in 2013, has a 10-meter semi-anechoic chamber equipped with radio frequency (RF) testing for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi products.

"EMC testing is one of the requirements in the Indonesian National Standard (SNI)," said Doddy Rahadi, head of the Industrial Service Standardization and Policy Agency at the Industry Ministry.

Rahadi went on: "BSPJI Surabaya was established to meet industry needs. The EMC Laboratory at BSPJI Surabaya is capable of testing electronic and telematics equipment such as drones, headphones, cellphones, handy talkies (HT), wireless microphones, Bluetooth headphones, pianos, televisions, and other electronic devices."
