Foreign investment rules

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.

Status · Open with carve-outs

Open to foreign investment, with carve-outs

KBLI 71202 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.

Listed restrictions

Reserved for SMEs / cooperatives

  • Laboratory testing services that use simple and intermediate technology.
    Allocated for Cooperatives and UMKM.
    Sector: Public Works and Housing
KBLI 71202 is open to 100% foreign ownership as a class — a PT PMA can be incorporated under this code. However, Pres. Reg. 10/2021 carves out the specific sub-activities listed above, which are either reserved for Indonesian capital, capped, or restricted to cooperatives/UMKM. A foreign investor may operate every other slice of this KBLI but must avoid (or partner around) those particular sub-activities. Talk to us about scoping your business plan to the open portion before incorporation.

How we handle your KBLI 71202 setup

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.

  1. 1

    Confirm the optimal structure for your business

    2–3 business days

    We confirm KBLI 71202 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.

    What we need from you
    • Founders' passport copies and proof of residence
    • Intended share split and board composition
  2. 2

    Incorporate your PT PMA

    7–10 business days

    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.

    What we need from you
    • Powers of attorney (we prepare; you sign and notarize)
    • Director / commissioner appointment letters
    • Initial capital deposit confirmation
  3. 3

    We obtain your NIB

    1–2 business days

    We file the OSS application with KBLI 71202 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.

    What we need from you
    • Office address (virtual office acceptable for many KBLIs; we can arrange one)
  4. 4

    Secure your full Operating License (Izin)

    Per ministry schedule

    NIB is issued for the preparation stage. Commercial operation requires a full Operating License (Izin) issued by the competent ministry after a substantive review of the operator's capability, facility, and compliance. Operating with NIB alone exposes the entity to penalties, blacklisting, and contract invalidation. 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.

    What we need from you
    • Technical documentation specific to your operation
    • Appointment of a Penanggung Jawab Teknis (PJT — technical responsible person)
  5. 5

    Hand-off to ongoing compliance

    Ongoing

    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.

§ 03

What is KBLI 71202?

A plain-English explanation of this classification and the businesses it covers.

KBLI 71202 (Jasa Pengujian Laboratorium) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for laboratory testing services. It sits within Professional, Scientific and Technical Activities under the subgroup Technical Analysis and Testing (major group 71) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).

Who needs KBLI 71202?

Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in laboratory testing services 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.

§ 05

Under the upcoming KBLI 2025

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.

Carried forward into KBLI 2025

KBLI 71202 retains the same code number and scope in the new taxonomy. The activity description, hierarchy, and intended use of the code are preserved.

  • ·Continue using 71202 for current registrations under KBLI 2020.
  • ·When OSS adopts KBLI 2025 (timing not yet announced), no migration is required for this code.
  • ·Risk level, permits, and authority routing shown above remain in effect under both taxonomies.

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.

§ 02

Risk level by business scale

Indonesia'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.

01

Micro

Usaha Mikro
≤ IDR 2 B turnover
High risk
NIB + full Operating License (Izin) before invoicing.
02

Small

Usaha Kecil

What does each risk level require to operate? ›
Low. NIB alone is sufficient for both preparation and commercial operation. Issued instantly via OSS.
Medium-Low. NIB enables preparation only. Commercial operation requires a self-declared Sertifikat Standar (Standard Certificate). Operating with NIB alone is not legally compliant.
Medium-High. NIB enables preparation only. Commercial operation requires a Sertifikat Standar verified by the competent ministry — typically with a site or document inspection.
High. NIB enables preparation only. Commercial operation requires a full Operating License (Izin) issued by the competent ministry after substantive review.
Beyond OSS, sector-specific permits commonly apply on top — e.g. SBU for construction, BPOM for food/cosmetics/medicines, OJK for financial services, IUP for mining, PSE for digital services. See the industry-specific guidance below for what applies to this KBLI.
