Area Manager Communication, Relations, & CSR Pertamina Patra Niaga West Java Regional Eko Kristiawan said the sanctions were imposed because his party found additional switching equipment in three of the total eight dispensers at the gas station.

The problematic dispenser from the results of field checks by officers from the Directorate of Meteorology of the Ministry of Trade in the context of preparing the 2024 Ramadan & Eid Al-Fitr Task Force (RAFI) still has a Tera Metrology certificate, which is valid until February 13, 2025, after tera was carried out on February 13, 2024.

Eko added that the sanctions given to gas stations are in accordance with those stated in the agreement contract between Pertamina and gas stations.

In the attachment to contract sanctions for types of operational violations at point number 10 it is stated that gas stations can be given sanctions if they carry out engineering using tools or other means to change meters.
