Turning Up the Volume for Indonesia: Inside BLG Audio’s Active Speaker SNI Audit in Ningbo

Ningbo, December 9, 2024. Big red letters spelled out “BLG” across a white ribbed wall. In front of it, six people stood side by side, every one of them giving a thumbs-up. Some were BLG staff. Others had flown in from Indonesia. They had gathered for one reason: an active speaker SNI audit.

BLG Audio builds speakers for stages, events and karaoke rooms. Now, the company wants its sound to reach more Indonesian audiences. To make that happen, its factory first needed to meet Indonesia’s national standard, SNI. So, Global Service Agency came to Ningbo to guide the process.

Who Took Part in the Active Speaker SNI Audit?

First, there was BLG Audio, the brand of Ningbo Rixing Electronics Co., Ltd. Since 1996, the company has made professional loudspeakers, PA systems and powered speakers. Second, there was [BLG’s Indonesian partner], the company bringing BLG products into Indonesia.

Third, there was B4T (Balai Besar Bahan dan Barang Teknik), the Indonesian LSPro that led the audit. As a government certification body under the Ministry of Industry, B4T checks whether factories meet SNI requirements. Finally, there was Global Service Agency (GSA), the SNI consultant for the project.

What Happened During the Audit?

The B4T auditors carried out a factory audit at BLG’s production site. In short, they wanted to see how the factory builds its active speakers. For example, they reviewed the quality management system and production controls. They also checked inspection procedures and testing records. Most importantly, they confirmed that every speaker meets the same standard.

Meanwhile, our team kept the process on track. Before the audit, we prepared the required documents with BLG’s team. During the visit, we bridged communication between the Chinese manufacturer and the Indonesian auditors. As a result, both sides could focus on the details that mattered.

When and Where Did It Take Place?

The audit took place on December 9, 2024, at BLG’s factory in Wuxiang Town, Ningbo, China. Ningbo is a major port city in Zhejiang Province. In fact, it hosts many electronics and audio manufacturers. For BLG, this visit marked an important step toward the Indonesian market.

Why Does Active Speaker SNI Certification Matter?

An active speaker is more than a box that makes sound. Inside, it has its own built-in amplifier that runs on mains power. Therefore, electrical safety matters just as much as sound quality.

That’s why active speaker SNI certification is important in Indonesia. Products like these need to meet SNI requirements before they go on sale. Without it, customs can hold shipments at the port. Consequently, the speakers cannot legally reach Indonesian buyers.

For BLG, the audit opens the door to Indonesia’s lively music and event scene. Meanwhile, Indonesian users gain peace of mind. They know that SNI-certified speakers meet the national safety standard.

How Did the Active Speaker SNI Audit Go?

In a word: smoothly. BLG’s team showed a well-organized production process from start to finish. In the end, the factory met the auditors’ requirements. Afterward, everyone gathered for a group photo, and the thumbs-up says it all.

“BLG’s team was very cooperative and well prepared,” said a member of the Global Service Agency team. “That made it easy for the auditors to see every part of their process.”
