At the Public Consultation forum, held at the Grand Travello Hotel in Bekasi, on Thursday, September 11, 2025, the Telecommunications Equipment Testing Center (BBPPT) and Indonesia Digital Test House (IDTH) presented a number of important renewal plans.
They not only discussed the plan to change the Implementation Guidelines for Telecommunications Equipment Testing as stipulated in Decree 36 of 2024, but they also announced the plans to change testing and calibration rates.
Previously, BBPPT the service of testing and calibration rates were regulated by Government Regulation (PP), which was considered to be inflexible. In March 2025, a Willingness to Pay (WTP) and Ability to Pay (ATP) survey was conducted to determine the willingness and ability of service users to pay for services.

Legal Basis for Changes in Testing and Calibration Rates
These changes in testing and calibration rates were not made on a solid basis. Volatile rates are rates that require at least one change per year. The following is the legal basis for this:
- Government Regulation Number 69 of 2020 – Procedures for Determining Rates and Types of Non-Tax Revenue
- Government Regulation Number 69 of 2020, Article 8, Paragraph (4), states that rates in the field of laboratory testing are included in the volatile rate category.

Currently, BBPPT has submitted a proposal for volatile rates to the Ministry of Finance since June 2025 and has been conducting ongoing discussions until September 2025.
The nominal value and implementation of the tariff will be announced by BBPPT after approval from the Ministry of Finance. It is important for all manufacturers and importers to be aware of these changes to the Testing and Calibration Rates, as they will affect the cost of applying for DJID certification.
