Indonesia 6 GHz RLAN Testing Update

Indonesia has introduced an important change for 6 GHz RLAN (Radio Local Area Network) devices such as Wi-Fi 6E products. The Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure (DJID) now allows testing to be performed by both accredited local laboratories and foreign laboratories recognized under Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs).

Indonesia 6 GHz RLAN Testing Update: What Changed

The Indonesia 6 GHz RLAN testing update introduces more flexibility in how manufacturers can certify wireless devices.

Key changes include:

• Acceptance of foreign test reports from MRA-recognized labs

• Continued use of local accredited laboratories in Indonesia

• Reduced need for duplicate local testing

• Support for 6 GHz (Wi-Fi 6E) devices

What was the rule before?

Previously, manufacturers often needed to:

• Conduct local testing in Indonesia, or

• Repeat testing even if international reports were already available

This increased both time and cost for certification.

Why it matters

This update makes certification easier for manufacturers of wireless devices using the 6 GHz band.

In simple terms, companies can now:

• Use existing test reports from recognized labs

• Avoid unnecessary re-testing

• Speed up product approvals

What manufacturers should do

If your product includes Wi-Fi 6E or 6 GHz functionality, you should:

• Check if your lab is MRA-recognized for Indonesia

• Review your current test reports

• Update your certification strategy accordingly

The Indonesia 6 GHz RLAN testing update simplifies certification by allowing the use of international test reports.

This means faster approvals, lower costs, and easier market entry for manufacturers of wireless devices.
