Indonesia - Draft Decree on Technical Standards for Land Mobile Radios

The Ministry of Communication and Digital is preparing a Draft Decree of the Minister of Communication and Digital on Technical Standards for Land Mobile Radio Telecommunication Devices which stipulates, among others:

• The EMC requirements update follows the international standard CISPR 32 or ETSI EN 301 489;
• Updates to electrical safety requirements following IEC 60950-1 or IEC 62368-1;
• Land Mobile Radio devices are divided into 3 types of devices, including conventional radio devices, trunking radio devices, and private mobile radio devices;
• Conventional and trunking radio devices are divided into 4 groups, namely handheld, mobile,​​base/repeater, and radio modem;
• Restriction of the working frequency of devices from the previous width (e.g. previously UHF devices were allowed to have a working frequency of 300 - 3000 MHz), to be adjusted to the allocation according to TASFRI and the prevalence of devices manufactured by the vendor (e.g. in this RKM, UHF devices are allowed to have a working frequency of 300 - 470 MHz only, so devices of 450 - 512 MHz are not allowed);​
• The test parameters are limited to parameters that are able to avoid adverse interference, including working frequency, channel spacing, conducted output power, spurious emission, and frequency error/frequency stability. Other test parameters were removed, including temperature, impendence, and modulation; and
• Addition of testing methods according to international standards.​
