The Ministry of Trade has issued Regulation No. 15 of 2025 on Standardization in the Trade Sector, introducing a comprehensive framework to improve quality assurance, consumer protection, and workforce competency across goods and services.
Key Highlights are as follows:
- Establishes a national framework for standardizing goods, services, and workforce competencies in the trade sector.
- Introduces mandatory and voluntary application of SNI (Indonesian National Standards) and technical requirements for selected goods and services.
- Provides detailed mechanisms for the certification of conformity through accredited institutions (LPK), including testing labs, inspection bodies, and certification agencies.
- Imposes administrative sanctions, including license revocation, for non-compliant businesses and certifying bodies.
- Regulates the Standard Competency Framework (KKNI) and National Work Competency Standards (SKKNI) as key benchmarks for trade sector human capital.
- Enhances the role of digital systems through the launch of the Trade Standardization Information System, designed to streamline monitoring and data reporting.
If your business manufactures, imports, or distributes goods, or operates in services requiring compliance with SNI, this regulation may affect your operations, especially concerning product certification, quality control, and employee qualifications.
