KBLI 72202 is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for research and development in linguistics and literature. It sits within Professional, Scientific and Technical Activities under the subgroup Research and Development in Social Sciences and Humanities (major group 72) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
This group includes research and development activities that are conducted regularly (systematically), organized by the private sector, related to linguistics and literature.
Who needs KBLI 72202?
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in research and development in linguistics and literature 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.
