JAKARTA - The Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) has launched the digitization of Domestic Component Level (TKDN) certification. Now, TKDN certification can be carried out through the Ministry of Industry's National Industrial Information System (SIINAs).

"With this digitization, we are trying to cut unnecessary processes, so that within 22 working days or even less, TKDN certificates have been issued," said Minister of Industry (Menperin) Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita at the Ministry of Industry Building, Jakarta, Wednesday, September 27.

The Ministry of Industry also announced that currently there are 5 Independent Verification Institutions (LVI) that have met the requirements to carry out calculation and verification of the TKDN and BMP values.

From the results of the selection, there are 5 LVIs that meet the requirements, namely BSKJI Kemenperin, PT Anindya Wiraputra Consult, PT Biro Classification Indonesia (Persero), PT Superintending Company of Indonesia, and PT Surveyor Indonesia.

"In the past, the verification was only carried out by PT Surveyor Indonesia, from there there were a lot of queues for permit management (bottlenacking), we opened the selection and 5 LVIs have been selected. Hopefully, the process can be faster," said Agus.

It is known, the Ministry of Industry has issued Minister of Industry Regulation Number 43 of 2022 concerning Procedures for the Appointment of Independent Verification Institutions and Imposition of Administrative Sanctions in the Context of Calculation and Verification of Domestic Component Level Values and Company Benefit Weight Values.

In the regulation, the number of Independent Verification Institutions is increased so that industrial entrepreneurs can be faster and easier in making TKDN and BMP certificates.

The Ministry of Industry noted that there were 2,459 TKDN certificates issued in 2020, then in 2021 there were 11,607 certificates, and 8,254 certificates in 2022.
