National Standardization Agency of Indonesia (BSN)

BSN is a non-ministerial government agency of Indonesia and the ISO Member Body for Indonesia, established under Presidential Decree No.13/1997 and governed by Law No.20/2014 on Standardization and Conformity Assessment. BSN is the national authority responsible for national standardization, conformity assessment, accreditation and metrology in Indonesia. Its core mandate covers the development, issuance and maintenance of Indonesian National Standards (SNI). It organizes multi-stakeholder consensus-based standard development, promotes alignment between national standards and international norms, coordinates cross-government standardization work, and serves as the secretariat of the National Accreditation Committee (KAN). BSN represents Indonesia in ISO, IEC, ASEAN and other regional and international standardization bodies. While SNI standards are generally voluntary, they become mandatory once referenced in technical regulations issued by relevant ministries. BSN aims to safeguard consumer safety, improve the quality and competitiveness of Indonesian goods and services, and facilitate domestic and international trade by strengthening the national quality infrastructure.
