Today, it may already be common knowledge that Notebook Computers are required to obtain SDPPI Certification, especially among brand owners and distributors.
Notebook Computers have a large market in Indonesia and have become almost essential for many people to support their daily productivity.
This can also be seen from SDPPI data. In 2022 alone, approximately 284 SDPPI Certificates were issued for Notebook Computer devices from various brands and with different specifications.
Speaking about the many Notebook Computer brands that are already available in Indonesia and have obtained SDPPI certificates, one major and well-known brand has been a partner of PT. Alpha Romeo Teknologi for more than 5 years, namely Lenovo Indonesia.
Looking at these interesting facts, we would like to provide some insight to readers.
Every year, Notebook Computer brands continue to compete by introducing and updating new features to meet the needs of their users.
SDPPI Certification for Notebook Computers
In this article, we would like to discuss which features or technologies in Notebook Computers are required to undergo laboratory testing as part of the requirements for obtaining an SDPPI Certificate.
One of the most common and essential features in Notebook Computers is Wireless LAN/Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi technology in Notebook Computers has developed rapidly.
In the past, Wi-Fi in Notebook Computers generally operated only on the 2.4 GHz frequency.
Today, Wi-Fi can also operate on the 5 GHz frequency range, including:
- 5.1 GHz – 5.3 GHz
- 5.8 GHz
This feature must be tested and must comply with the standards stated in PERDIRJEN SDPPI No. 2 of 2019.

Bluetooth and NFC Features
In addition to Wi-Fi, wireless modules in Notebook Computers now generally also include Bluetooth.
Therefore, Notebook Computers usually have at least two wireless features:
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth
Bluetooth requirements are regulated under PERDIRJEN SDPPI No. 161 of 2019 concerning Short Range Device frequencies.
If a Notebook Computer also includes additional features such as NFC, this technology is also covered under the same regulation as Bluetooth, namely PERDIRJEN SDPPI No. 161 of 2019.
However, NFC uses a different measurement procedure.

RF and EMC Testing
In addition to meeting the requirements for RF (Radio Frequency) Testing explained above, Notebook Computers must also undergo another test known as Emission Testing or EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) Testing.
EMC testing is divided into two types of testing:
- Radiated Emission
- Conducted Emission
The emissions produced by the device must not exceed the limits specified under the CISPR 32 standard.
The explanation above provides a brief overview of the Technical Standards for SDPPI Certification of Notebook Computers.
For Notebook Computer devices, PT. Alpha Romeo Teknologi only needs approximately 3 weeks to obtain SDPPI Certification through the laboratory testing process.
