JAKARTA - The Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs (Kemenkop UKM) held an audience with representatives of members of the All-Indonesian Exhaust Association (AKSI).

This is to discuss regulations related to aftermarket exhausts which are claimed to have many similarities with Brong exhausts.

"We want to look again at the regulations to improve in their implementation. This has the same understanding as the legal apparatus. Meanwhile, this regulation is being carried out, we hope that this should not be taken into account because the regulations (not yet available)," said Deputy for SMEs at the Coordinating Ministry for SMEs, Hanung Harimba Rachman at the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs office, Jakarta, Friday, February 23.

Hanung asked the police not to take action against the use of aftermarket exhausts.

"We hope that this will not be taken into action (ticketing). Even if action is taken, procedures are needed according to the right standards. If it is not visible, the eye will not be noisy, yes, don't arrest it," he said.

He observed that a number of cases of using exhaust that interfered with the comfort of the community were due to the absence of a standard SNI related to exhaust as other automotive products that had already owned SNI.

According to Hanung, as stated by ACTION, there is enormous economic potential in the exhaust business.

Bearing in mind, AKSI members themselves already have 20 local exhaust brands with 15,000 workforce absorption and can develop because there are still around 300 exhaust craftsmen and exhaust brands that can be invited to join the association.

Furthermore, Hanung targets that the regulations from the aftermarket exhaust itself will be completed in March 2024.

"(The regulation target) is issued (March 2024)," he said.

For your information, motorized vehicle drivers who use Brong exhaust that do not comply with SNI standards can be subject to sanctions according to Article 285 in conjunction with paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 106 paragraph (3) and Article 48 paragraph (2) and paragraph (3), with a maximum fine of IDR 250,000 because noise can interfere with the concentration of other motorists.

So that it has the potential to cause traffic accidents.
