1. BACKGROUND
The government of Indonesia is currently strengthening existing CFL promotional programs.
Standard and Labelling (S&L) policy for CFLs has been promoted since 2011 and is now
being reviewed prior to enforcement. Energy efficiency S&L for other products is now being
prepared and will be released in the near future.
Indonesia’s National Energy Conservation Master Plan (2005) - RIKEN (Rencana Induk
Konservasi Energi Nasional) states that Indonesia’s goal is to decrease energy intensity
by around 1% per year on average until 2025. As explained in the National Energy
Management Blueprint - PEN (2006), the goal of RIKEN is to realize this energy saving
potential through energy efficiency and conservation measures. The action plan to achieve
this objective contains several elements of relevance to lighting:







Mandatory energy conservation of government office buildings.
Mandatory energy management for major energy consumers.
Promoting energy performance contract business model (ESCO).
Energy manager and auditor certification.
Energy standard and labelling program.
Public awareness activities and capacity building.
Etc.
Beneath this, the main policies and regulations related to energy conservation are:

Law No. 30 Year 2007 on Energy: Encouraged the implementation of renewable
energy and energy conservation in all sectors

Government Regulation No. 70 Year 2009 on Energy Conservation: Introduced
mandatory implementation of energy management for certain energy consumers (≥
6,000 Ton Oil Equivalent) and other measures to promote energy efficiency in all
sectors.

President Regulation No. 5 Year 2006 on National Energy Policy: Set framework
for directing efforts to achieve security of energy supply in the country.

Instruction President. No. 2 Year 2008 on Energy and Water Efficiency (Revised
by Instruction President No. 13/2011 on Energy and Water Efficiency): Provided
instructions to all Goverment entities for the introduction of energy and water saving
initiatives.

Ministerial Regulation of Ministry Energy and Mineral Resources No. 06/2011
on Energy Efficiency Labeling for CFL. Implemented a mandatory standard and
label for CFL.

2. LIGHTING PHASE-OUT
Indonesia tend to promote efficient technologies replacing the inefficient ones using policies
and regulations related to energy conservation – including in lighting with S&L for CFLs.
However, there is no specific target of phasing out inefficient lighting.
3. TEST METHOD AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
3.1. Standard Development Process
Responsibility for the development of the National Standards of Indonesia (SNI) rests with
the National Standardisation Agency of Indonesia (BSN), which draws on technical
committees and technical sub-committees from the relevant Government ministries to draft
the standard. The Standardisation Society of Indonesia (MASTAN), an independent nonprofit organisation of almost 3,000 members representing regulators, industry, consumers,
infrastructure, institutions and experts, is involved in consultation and e-balloting in the final
step of the SNI development.
The standards development process is summarised diagrammatically below and takes an
average of one year to complete:
3.2. Test Method Standards
Indonesia is a full member of IEC, with the National Standardization Agency of Indonesia
(BSN) operating as the National Committee. They are full (P) members of TC34 (Lamps and
Related Equipment) and SC34A (Lamps). Indonesia promotes the adoption of international
Page 4 of 8
standards, such as ISO and IEC, in revising existing and developing new National Standards
of Indonesia (SNI) and promotes participation in international standards development.
The standard in Indonesia is basicly voluntary unless regulated by Government. Safety
standards will be the first to be regulated as mandatory. Performance standards will be the
next. However, the whole performance requirements may not necessarily be regulated.
Indonesia adopted test methods from the IEC standards for the performance requirements to
measure some performance requirements that are regulated. For example, CFLs are
regulated only in the aspects of energy efficiency and life time and the test methods that
allow the measurement of these are adopted from SNI IEC 60969:2009, Self-ballasted
lamps for general lighting services - Performance requirements.
3.3. Performance Standards
As mentioned before, the performance standards are still voluntarily implemented. However,
minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) are considered for implementation
independently or complementarily with label for appliances and equipment. Minimum energy
performance standards (MEPS) have already been introduced in the CFL standard and label
regulation. For other products, discussions have been conducted between Government and
stakeholders for MEPS implementation of electric motors and air conditioners.
3.4. Environmental or health-based standards
None known.
4. LABELS
4.1. Mandatory
4.1.1. CFLs
The Ministerial Regulation No 6/2011 on Energy Efficiency Labeling on CFL was issued in
April 2011 and now being reviewed to make it smoothly enforced. This regulation mandates
that all CFLs must carry the new energy efficiency label and meet the minimum performance
specified for lifetime and energy efficiency. To qualify for the label, manufacturers/importers
must issue a Declaration of Conformity stating that their product complies with the
regulations and submit it to the Directorate General of New-Renewable Energy and Energy
Conservation (DGNREEC) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.
4.2. Voluntary
SNI 04-6958-2003, Household and similar electrical appliances - Energy rating labels,
provides for an energy label. To date, the only lighting product to which this has been
applied is fluorescent ballasts.

5. ENFORCEMENT OF REGULATIONS
Technical regulation is through the Indonesian regulators (with the National Standardization
Agency of Indonesia (BSN) as the Notification Body and enquiry point). Enforcement will be
conducted by Ministry of Trade with support from technical regulator (i.e: Ministry of Energy
and Mineral Resources for energy standard and label).
6. TESTING CAPACITY
The National Accreditation Body of Indonesia (KAN) awards accreditation to certification
bodies and third party Conformity Assessment Bodies are involved in certification,
inspection, testing and calibration.
The Testing Facilities have been developed since 2009, and by 2012 there were two testing
laboratories – P3TKEBT laboratory of Ministry Energy and Mineral Resources and B4T
laboratory of Ministry of Industry. These are accredited for CFL Energy Performance testing
based on IEC 60969. In order to boost the labeling adoption by CFL business players
(producers and importers), the Goverment of Indonesia has also appointed four other
laboratories – B2TE-BPPT, BPMB-Ministry of Trade, Baristand Surabaya – Ministry of
Industry, and PT. Sucofindo (state owned company) – as offical laboratories to conduct CFL
energy efficiency and performance testing. These four laboratories have already passed the
proficiency test through round robin testing and are mandated to be accredited within two
years of their appointment by the government.
The Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT) is a government
institution under the coordination of the Ministry of Research and Technology which has the
Page 6 of 8
task of carrying out government duties in the field of assessment and application of
technology.
The Energy Technology Centre (B2TE) of The Agency for the Assessment and Application
of Technology (BPPT) is one of the leading centres of energy technology development. Its
objective is to encourage the growth of the energy industry and the implementation of energy
technologies that are efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly for solving national
problems. B2TE laboratory is also being prepared to be accredited for Electronics Ballast
test.
7. OTHER MEASURES TO STIMULATE LIGHTING EFFICIENCY
7.1. Awareness Raising and Information
The ‘National Energy Efficiency Movement’ implemented by the Ministry of Energy and
Mineral Resources promotes energy conservation awareness through seminars and
workshops, talk shows, public advertisements, brochures and leaflets; it is directed to
households, specific industries and transport. The state-owned electricity company PLN
promotes energy conservation in electricity use. Other institutions that promote awareness
include the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT). No
information is available on the extent to which lighting themes are included in this activity.
7.2. Building Energy Codes
As detailed in Government Regulation No. 36/2005, Law No. 28/2002 on Buildings, all
buildings must comply with existing standards. This includes an SNI standard for lighting in
buildings. Energy building standards have yet to be mandated. However, voluntarily energy
conservation and efficiency measures in commercial buildings are widely implemented.
7.3. Mandatory Energy Conservation of Government Office
Buildings
Government departments and agencies and regional governments must implement best
practice energy saving measures as explained in the government’s guidelines and directives
on energy saving in government buildings. Also, bi-annually they must report monthly energy
use in buildings to the National Team on Energy and Water Efficiency.
7.4. Energy Efficient Lighting Program in the Residential Sector
The lighting program in the residential sector is primarily demand-side management (DSM),
in addition to energy savings. There are two lighting programs - the Caring Program
(Program Perduli) – a program of the state owned electricity company (PLN) and the
Brightness Program (Program Terang) – a government program. The programs provide
subsidized and, in certain cases, free CFLs to eligible households.

7.5. State-owned Energy Service Company (ESCO)
The state-owned ESCO (established in 1986) is expected to take a leading role in providing
energy conservation related services, particularly to industry. Private companies providing
similar services are also growing in Indonesia. The government expects its ESCO to
maintain forefront expertise in the field of energy efficiency and conservation in Indonesia,
and to encourage a greater role for private-sector ESCOs in the future. Energy saving in
lighting is one of the opportunities that ESCOs are looking for. For example, some lighting
companies have collaborated with ESCOs to work with large companies that have extensive
chains throughout Indonesia to achieve energy savings by replacing conventional lamps with
LEDs and giving them a guarantee for the energy saving result. The other growing
opportunity for the energy performance contract business model is the street lighting sector
with local government.
8. SUSTAINABILITY/END-OF-LIFE TREATMENT INITIATIVES OF
LIGHTING PRODUCTS
There is no regulation regarding the disposal of CFLs in Indonesia and CFLs are not
collected for recycling in Indonesia. No information is available on the end-of-life collection,
recycling or disposal initiatives for other lamp types.
9. LIGHTING PRODUCT SUPPLY CHAIN
9.1. Manufacturing
Indonesia’s fluorescent lamp exports (of all types) had a 2009 trade value of nearly 115
million USD. Major trading partners for exports are Japan, Malaysia and the Philippines.
Sixteen companies manufacture CFLs in Indonesia, producing around 40 million CFLs per
year, or 20% of its market demand. So far, only one company, Panasonic, exports CFLs (to
Japan) producing around 15 to 20 million CFLs annually. Of these 16 companies, 14
produce brands that participate in the current energy labelling scheme and are tested
against the current standards, SNI 04-6958-2003, Household and similar electrical
appliances - Energy rating labels.
9.2. Import
About 80% of Indonesian CFL consumption is imported, which was more than 300 million
CFLs in 2012 according to lighting association data (Aperlindo). Major partners for imports
are China, Singapore and Japan. Indonesia’s fluorescent lamp imports for 2009 had a value
of nearly 100 million USD, thus creating a trade surplus.
