Efforts to Optimize the Role of LSPro
The Ministry of Industry reviews the optimization of the Product Certification Institute (LSPro). This is done in order to accelerate the development in testing and certifying an industrial product that conforms to standards.
"This policy also refers to other countries in an effort to protect their industry. For example, Malaysia, China and India have only one LSPro, ”said Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita during a working visit at the Central Laboratory of PT Sucofindo (Persero), Cibitung, Bekasi, Wednesday.
The Minister of Industry said that currently in Indonesia there are 51 LSPro's whose job is to provide written guarantees that a product, process or service has met the applicable standards or regulations. "We will fix the existing LSPro, of course with regard to quality and capacity," he said.
Agus hopes that this effort will create efficiency in the process and maintain the quality of the issued certification. “In essence, the government is determined to protect domestic industries from invading imported products. Therefore, instruments are needed to spur the competitiveness of national products while maintaining the health and safety of consumers and the environment, "he said.
The instrument that is generally applied in Indonesia is the compulsory enforcement of the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), which focuses primarily on products related to Security, Health, Human Safety and the Environment (K3L). By continuing to prioritize the principle of fairness in international trade, the implementation of compulsory SNI can aim to increase access to foreign markets and reduce the rate of imports.
Based on Law Number 3 of 2014 concerning Industry, it is stated that the compulsory SNI conformity assessment shall be carried out by LSPro and Test Laboratories that have been accredited and appointed by the minister. Among the 4,984 SNIs in the industrial sector that have been stipulated by BSN, as many as 113 SNIs have been stipulated to be enforced compulsorily by the Minister of Industry.
The Minister of Industry gave his appreciation to PT Sucofindo which has the largest laboratory in Southeast Asia. LSPro PT Sucofindo in Cibitung has participated in the application of 61 mandatory SNIs in the industrial sector for upstream and downstream chemical products, agro, non-metal, electronic, metal, and various products. "Hopefully, the role of PT Sucofindo's LSPro can protect industrial products that have been produced by the nation's children," he added.
