Raising Indonesias Trade Standards: BNSP-Licensed Professional Certification Agencies Join Recognized Trade Sector LPK

In an effort to improve the nation’s consumer protection governance for goods and/or services that specifically relate to the areas of safety, security, health and the environment, as well as to improve the overall quality and competitiveness of products and the workforce within the trade sector, the Minister of Trade (“Minister”) has issued Regulation No. 15 of 2025 (“Regulation 15/2025”) on the Standardization of the Trade Sector (“Standardization”), which officially came into force on 17 June 2025.[1]

Previously, provisions relating to Standardization were set out under the framework of Regulation of the Minister No. 81 of 2019, which bore a similar title to Regulation 15/2025 (“Regulation 81/2019”).[2] However, this framework was subsequently repealed and replaced upon the enforcement of Regulation of the Minister No. 26 of 2021 on the Stipulation of Business Activities and Product Standards for Risk-Based Business Licensing Within the Trade Sector (“Regulation 26/2021”). Since then, no updated and dedicated Standardization framework has been introduced until now.[3]
