KBLI 26513 is open to PT PMA at the class level under BUPM. Some sub-activities are restricted to Indonesian capital or require partnerships — a foreign investor can operate the unrestricted slices. Confirm with our team to scope the open portion against your business plan.
OSS RBA classifies KBLI 26513 as Medium-Low — NIB + self-declared Standard Certificate at Large scale. 3 PB UMKU sector-specific permits apply depending on the exact activity. Licensing instruments follow the standard ladder; no sector-regulator override is on file for this code.
OSS lists 8 operational obligations at Large scale for this code. None are structural foreign-investor barriers, but they determine ongoing compliance: proof of submission of mandatory validated Industrial Data every 6 (six)…, Ensure the safety and security of equipment, processes, production results,…, and others.
Worth confirming: Openness here is based on BUPM (Pres. Reg. 10/2021). Sector regulators (PSE/Kominfo for digital platforms, BPOM for food and cosmetics, OJK for financial, Kemenkes for healthcare, Permendag for retail, ESDM for energy) often add licensing and capital requirements on top — the practical answer depends on your business model.

Indonesia's BUPM (Investment Business Fields) regulation places this code into one of five tracks. The track determines whether a foreign investor (PMA) can operate in this activity at all, and under what conditions.
KBLI 26513 is open as a class — a 100% foreign-owned PT PMA can be incorporated under this code — but Pres. Reg. 10/2021 carves out 1 specific sub-activity that are off-limits or restricted for foreign capital. The rest of the activity remains open to PMA. The carved-out items are listed below; any of them needs to be either avoided, served via an Indonesian operator, or structured around case-by-case.

Emerhub is a corporate-services provider in Indonesia. We do the legal and regulatory legwork for foreign investors so you can focus on the business itself. Here's what the engagement looks like.
We confirm KBLI 26513 is the right primary code for your business, advise on secondary codes you may also need, and finalize the holding structure with you before any filing.
We draft the Articles of Association before a notary, register the entity with the Ministry of Law & Human Rights (Kemenkumham), and obtain the company's tax ID (NPWP). Under BKPM Reg. 5/2025, paid-up capital is IDR 2.5 billion (~USD 160K) — the cash actually deposited at incorporation. The IDR 10 billion+ figure many sources still cite is the total investment commitment per KBLI, realised over time via your LKPM reports.
Specific permits, application requirements and ongoing obligations vary by business scale and the sub-activity within this KBLI. We file these on your behalf — this section is for transparency on what we'll be handling. Switch between scales below; by default we show Large (the PMA scale).
Documents and capabilities you must demonstrate at registration
No specific application requirements at this scale.
Compliance and reporting duties throughout operation
The authority that issues the license depends on your situation.
| Authority | Applies when |
|---|---|
| Minister/Head of Agency | The industrial location is situated within a cross-border area between provinces. |
| Minister/Head of Agency | Foreign Investment |
| Governor | The industrial location is in the relevant province. |
PB UMKU permits sit on top of the main NIB and Sertifikat Standar — each is issued by a different ministry, and only when a specific operational activity is performed. This KBLI carries 3 candidate permits across 1 regulator; most operations only need a handful. Emerhub maps your operation to the exact set, files them, and tracks renewals.
Ministry of Defence. Applies when the operation produces, stores, or distributes weapons, ammunition, military vehicles, or explosives. The Ministry of Defence vets and re-vets the operator across the lifecycle.

We file the OSS application with KBLI 26513 as your primary business activity, complete the risk-based assessment, and collect the NIB (Business Identification Number) for you — typically within hours of submission. You don't need to touch the OSS portal.
NIB is issued for the preparation stage. To begin commercial operations, the operator must self-declare compliance with applicable standards via OSS, which generates the Sertifikat Standar. Operating commercially with NIB alone is not legally compliant at this risk level. We prepare the application bundle, liaise with the competent ministry, and chase issuance through to the certificate. Statutory turnaround: set by ministry — real-world timing typically runs longer when site inspections or additional clarifications are requested.
Post-launch we run your monthly tax filings, quarterly LKPM (Investment Activity Reports), annual general meeting (RUPS), and any sector-specific reporting. You get a single point of contact and a monthly compliance digest — no Indonesian-language paperwork on your desk.
Class-level prerequisites that apply to every operator under this KBLI, independent of business scale. These commonly include minimum capital rules for PMA entities and spatial-planning (KKPR) conformance.

KBLI 26513 (Manufacture of Electronic Measuring and Testing Instruments) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for industry of measuring and testing electronic instruments. It sits within Manufacturing Industry under the subgroup Industry of Measuring Instruments, Testing Equipment, Navigation, and Control Equipment. (major group 26) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in industry of measuring and testing electronic instruments as a primary or secondary business activity must select this code on its NIB (Business Identification Number). The selected code determines the licensing instruments required, the issuing authority, and the ongoing compliance obligations.
Indonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach uses the KBLI code to determine three things: (1) whether foreign investment is permitted and at what cap, (2) the risk-based licensing instruments required, and (3) the authority that issues each instrument. Choosing the wrong code can delay or invalidate your license.
Indonesia's BPS published the new KBLI 2025 taxonomy in early 2025. OSS, BKPM and the operating ministries have not yet adopted it — KBLI 2020 remains the active standard for business registration. This is what's coming for this specific code.
KBLI 26513 retains the same code number and scope in the new taxonomy. The activity description, hierarchy, and intended use of the code are preserved.
When OSS adopts KBLI 2025, we'll migrate your existing entity to the appropriate successor code as part of ongoing compliance — no action needed on your end now.
Talk to a specialistIndonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach assigns a separate risk level for each of the four business scales. The licensing instruments required (NIB, Standard Certificate, Operating License) are determined by the risk level. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale, so the rightmost column applies to most foreign investors.
KBLI 26513 (Manufacture of Electronic Measuring and Testing Instruments) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for industry of measuring and testing electronic instruments. It sits within the Manufacturing Industry category in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS).
KBLI 26513 is open to PT PMA at the class level under BUPM, but Pres. Reg. 10/2021 carves out specific sub-activities that are restricted to Indonesian capital, capped, or reserved for cooperatives/UMKM. A foreign investor can operate the unrestricted slices; sector regulators (BPOM, OJK, Kemenkes, Permendag, ESDM) commonly add their own requirements on top depending on the activity mix. Talk to our team to scope your business plan to the open portion.
KBLI 26513's risk levels per business scale: Micro Medium-Low, Small Medium-Low, Medium Medium-Low, Large Medium-Low. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale.
NIB + self-declared Standard Certificate (Sertifikat Standar). KBLI 26513 is Medium-Low risk at Large scale, so the investor declares compliance with the applicable technical standard at NIB issuance. No government pre-audit, but the declaration is binding and can trigger a post-audit. 3 sector-specific PB UMKU permits also apply depending on the exact activity. See the requirements summary at the top of the page. Plus one basic requirement (KKPR) at the class level.
BKPM Reg. 5/2025's default floor is IDR 2.5 billion paid-up capital at incorporation + IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI registered (realised over time and reported quarterly via LKPM). Sector regulators (OJK for financial, ESDM for energy, Kemenkes for healthcare, BPOM for food and cosmetics, Permendag for retail, Kominfo for digital platforms) often set higher minimums for specific activities — the binding figure depends on what you actually plan to operate, so confirm with our team before committing capital.
PT PMA setup typically takes 4-8 weeks end-to-end: AHU registration, NIB via OSS, bank account opening. KBLI-specific licensing depends on the permit instrument required.
Not on the Tax Holiday or Tax Allowance priority lists. KBLI 26513 businesses pay the standard 22% PPh Badan; Super Tax Deduction (300% R&D / 200% vocational training) may still apply for qualifying expenses.
Authority depends on the investor profile. For PMA: Minister/Head of Agency. For domestic SME scale: typically Governor (for Provincial scope) or Regent/Mayor (Regency/City scope). Specific mapping is in §1 of this page.
Beyond the NIB, KBLI 26513 carries 3 PB UMKU permits across 1 sector regulator: Defence & Security (3). Most operations only need 2-4 of these — the relevant set depends on which specific activities you actually perform; Emerhub maps the right subset before filing.
KBLIs in the same subgroup 2651: 26511 (Manufacture of Manual Measuring and Testing Instruments); 26512 (Industry of Measuring and Testing Electrical Instruments); 26514 (Manufacture of Industrial Process Measurement and Control Equipment).
