- The Minister of Transportation has issued Regulation No. PM 49 of 2021 on the Testing and Certification of Vessel Equipment and Components ("Regulation 49/2021") in order to ensure the quality of all vessel equipment and components.
- Under this framework, vessel equipment (e.g. navigation equipment, rescue equipment, etc.) and vessel components (e.g. materials, machinery, accommodation systems, etc.) are subject to mandatory testing and certification.
- Said vessel equipment and components must undergo three testing phases, as follows: 1) First testing (document checking, laboratory testing and field testing); 2) Periodic testing (which should be carried out every 2½ years following the issuance of a first-testing certificate); and 3) Annual testing.
- The abovementioned testing phases will be implemented after testing and certification applications have first been submitted to the head of the Maritime Safety Technology Center (Kepala Balai Teknologi Keselamatan Pelayaran – "Head of Center"), with copies of said applications also being sent to the Director-General of Sea Transportation.
- Testing results will be drawn up in the form of testing reports. If results reveal that vessel equipment and components qualify for certification, then the Head of Center will issue the relevant certificates, which break down into the following types: 1) First-testing certificate;2) Verification page for periodic testing attached to the relevant first-testing certificate; and 3) Annual testing certificate.
- Regulation 49/2021 has been in force since 16 June 2021.
