Description:  Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Decree No. 2 of 2021 regarding Mandatory 
Implementation of The Indonesian National Standard for Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Modules is 
now being stipulated. This decree enforces 3 SNI's for photovoltaics cell assembled in modules or 
made up into panels, with HS ex. 8541.40.22. All products covered in this regulation shall comply 
with: 
1. SNI IEC 61215 -1: 2016, Terrestrial Photovoltaic Module (FV) - design qualification and type 
attestation - Part 1: Test requirement ; 
2. SNI IEC 61215 -2: 2016, Terrestrial Photovoltaic Module (FV) - design  qualification  and type 
attestation - Part 2: Test procedures;

  3. SNI IEC 61215 -1-1: 2016, Terrestrial Photovoltaic Module (FV) - design  qualification  and 
type attestation - Part 1 -1: Specific requirements for testing Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic 
Module.  
Manufacturer or importers shall obtain approval for the use of SNI Marking (SPPT SNI) and put SNI 
marking on the products after the products are certified by the Product Certification Body a ccredited 
by National Accreditation Committee of Indonesia /KAN.  
Procedure and process of Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Module Certification is conducted in 
accordance with Annex II which is an integral part of this regulation.  
Crystalline Silicon Photo voltaic Modules that are exempt from compulsory SNI were those to be used 
as SPPT -SNI issuance test sample and/ or test sample for research and development.  Procedures 
for obtaining the exemption letter are explained in Annex I which is an integral part of  this regulation.  
In the circumstances that the amount of Conformity Assessment Bodies is not sufficient, the 
Directorate General will appoint CAB(s) for a period of time maximum 2 (two) years and can be 
extended for 1 (one) time extension with a maximum p eriod of 2 (two) years. Procedures for the 
appointment of CABs are explained in Annex III which is an integral part of this regulation.  
When this Ministerial Regulation comes into force (7 January 2021),  
• Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Modules Products wh ich have been utilized by users before 
this regulation comes into force, have no obligation to comply with this regulation.  
• Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Modules Products that circulate in market and already have 
IEC 61215 certificate before 7 January 2 021, must be re -certified in accordance with the 
provisions in this regulation no later than 7 January 2022.  
• Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Modules Products circulate after 7 January 2021, shall fulfil 
to SNI's requirements in this Regulation no later th an 7 January 2022.
