DPR RI Commission VII highlights challenges facing small and medium industries regarding SNI

A specific visit by Commission VII of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) to a small and medium industry in Surabaya has uncovered obstacles in the processing of Indonesian National Standard (SNI) certificates.

Business owners stated that the certification process is hindered by the limited availability of laboratory facilities in East Java, necessitating that testing be conducted in Yogyakarta. This situation is considered to increase both the time and the costs incurred by SME operators.
