KBLI 36001 (Storage, Purification, and Distribution of Drinking Water) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for water storage, purification, and distribution. It sits within Water Treatment, Wastewater Treatment, Waste Material Treatment and Recovery, and Remediation Activities under the subgroup Water Treatment (major group 36) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
This group includes businesses that extract water directly from springs and groundwater, as well as purify surface water from water sources (rivers, lakes, wells, etc.) and distribute drinking water directly from water terminals through pipelines or tank trucks (as long as the tank trucks are still under the same administrative management of the drinking water company) for sale to consumers or customers, such as households, government agencies/institutions, social organizations, state-owned enterprises, and private companies/businesses including hotels, processing industries, and retail stores.
Who needs KBLI 36001?
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in water storage, purification, and distribution 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.
Why does the code matter?
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.
