November 06, 2023 – There has been a socialization regarding the implementation of testing rates based on Government Regulation No. 43 Year 2023.
The socialization discusses the proposed revision of Government Regulation No. 80 of 2015 Article 1 Point C, namely regarding the types of non-tax revenues applicable to the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology. In this item, there is a simplification of Non-tax revenue (PNBP) types into clusters that have been implemented in the SIMPEL feature. As well as the elimination of VIP and VVIP testing.
Furthermore, there is a new SP2 format for field testing at BBPPT. If previously the testing fee and accommodation fee were used as 1 (one) invoice, now they will be separated because they will go to different ministry accounts between testing fees and accommodation, consumption, and transportation costs. Therefore, the applicant will get 2 (two) SP2 invoices that must be paid.
Next, adjust Article 25, allowing the setting of Non-tax revenue (PNBP) rates up to Rp 0.00 (zero rupiah) if:
- Testing is carried out for the activities of government agencies.
- Testing is carried out for the purposes of information and communication technology development research by domestic Information and Communication Technology Education / Research / Industry institutions.
Attach the government agency’s work program and a copy of the cooperation document.
A reduced tariff for testing telecommunication equipment and/or devices up to 50% is available if you attach a certificate of Domestic Component Level (TKDN) meeting the required TKDN value of 50%.

SAR TESTING IS READY TO BE IMPLEMENTED
Effective from December 1, 2023, telecommunications equipment/devices in direct contact with the human body must undergo Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing. This test measures the absorption of electromagnetic radiation energy by the human body.
SAR testing for the purposes of Post and Telecommunication Certification (POSTEL) in Indonesia only accepts Test Result Reports (LHU) originating from Indonesia. Currently, the only Indonesian lab that can conduct SAR testing is BBPPT.

The plan is to implement SAR testing with three system tests, focusing on the head, body, and hands. However, SARb testing implemented in 2023 only has 1 system test, for the head. The sample requirement for special SAR testing in 2023 is 1 sample. However, once BBPPT has three system tests, it requires three samples to optimize testing time through parallel testing.
The SAR testing standards used by BBPPT are as follows:
Methodology
- IEC/IEEEE 62209 – 1528: 2020
- FCC 941225
Limit
- Perdirjen SDPPI
- ICNIRP 2020
Testing Time
SAR testing takes approximately 5-6 days for 2G, 3G and 4G testing.
Testing Cost
Based on Government Regulation No. 43 of 2023, the cost of SAR testing is IDR 7,000,000.00 for each band, technology, and position. Furthermore, SAR testing will include positions for the head, body, and arms.
SAR Test Cost Simulation
The following is a simulation of the calculation of SAR test costs at BBPPT:
- 2G (2 Band) 2 x 7,000,000 = 14,000,000
- 3G (2 Band) 2 x 7,000,000 = 14,000,000
- 4G (5 Bands) 5 x 7,000,000 = 35,000,000
Total SAR test cost = Rp 63,000,000.00
