Indonesia has introduced an amendment to the mandatory Indonesian National Standard (Standar Nasional Indonesia or “SNI”) regime for tires.
Minister of Industry Regulation No. 24 of 2026 (“Minister of Industry Regulation No. 24/2026”) amends Minister of Industry Regulation No. 9 of 2025 on the Mandatory Implementation of Indonesian National Standards for Tires (“Minister of Industry Regulation No. 9/2025”).
The amendment is intended to improve the effectiveness of the implementation of mandatory SNI requirements for tires. As an amending regulation, Minister of Industry Regulation No. 24/2026 should be read together with Minister of Industry Regulation No. 9/2025, with the provisions of the earlier regulation continuing to apply to the extent that they have not been amended.
The amendment is relevant for manufacturers, importers, distributors, and other businesses whose activities involve tires subject to the mandatory SNI regime.
1. Status and Purpose of the Amendment
Minister of Industry Regulation No. 24/2026 expressly identifies itself as an amendment to Minister of Industry Regulation No. 9/2025.
The stated purpose of the amendment is to improve the effectiveness of the implementation of mandatory SNI requirements for tires and to adjust the provisions under Minister of Industry Regulation No. 9/2025.
Minister of Industry Regulation No. 9/2025 previously established the mandatory SNI regime for tires and replaced Minister of Industry Regulation No. 76/M-IND/PER/9/2015, which was considered no longer aligned with developments in Indonesian standards and industrial standardization policy.
Minister of Industry Regulation No. 24/2026 therefore operates within the existing mandatory SNI framework rather than establishing a separate regime for tires.
For businesses already subject to Minister of Industry Regulation No. 9/2025, the relevant compliance framework should accordingly be understood as Minister of Industry Regulation No. 9/2025 as amended by Minister of Industry Regulation No. 24/2026.
2. Regulatory Framework for Mandatory SNI Requirements
The mandatory implementation of SNI for tires forms part of Indonesia’s broader framework governing industrial standardization and conformity assessment.
Among the principal regulations underlying the framework are Law No. 3 of 2014 on Industry, as amended by Law No. 6 of 2023, and Law No. 20 of 2014 on Standardization and Conformity Assessment.
The framework is further supported by Government Regulation No. 34 of 2018 on the National Standardization and Conformity Assessment System and Government Regulation No. 28 of 2021 on the Implementation of Industrial Affairs, as amended by Government Regulation No. 46 of 2023.
These regulations provide the broader legal basis for the establishment, implementation, conformity assessment, and supervision of mandatory standards within the industrial sector.
Minister of Industry Regulation No. 24/2026 should therefore be read within this broader regulatory framework and together with the provisions of Minister of Industry Regulation No. 9/2025 that remain applicable.
3. Relationship with Minister of Industry Regulation No. 9/2025
Because Minister of Industry Regulation No. 24/2026 is an amending regulation, it does not replace Minister of Industry Regulation No. 9/2025 in its entirety.
Instead, the two regulations operate together. Provisions of Minister of Industry Regulation No. 9/2025 that are not amended continue to form part of the mandatory SNI framework, while provisions expressly amended by Minister of Industry Regulation No. 24/2026 should be applied in accordance with their amended wording.
This is important from a compliance perspective. Businesses should therefore avoid treating Minister of Industry Regulation No. 24/2026 as a standalone regulation containing the entire applicable regime.
The applicable requirements should instead be determined by reading Minister of Industry Regulation No. 9/2025 together with the amendments introduced by Minister of Industry Regulation No. 24/2026.
Where the amended provisions differ from the previous provisions, the amended provisions should be followed for the matters specifically addressed by the new regulation.
4. Mandatory SNI Requirements for Tires Remain in Place
The amendment does not change the fundamental character of the regulatory framework as a mandatory SNI regime for tires.
Minister of Industry Regulation No. 24/2026 continues to regulate the mandatory implementation of SNI for tires and does not, by its status as an amending regulation, convert the existing mandatory regime into a voluntary standard.
Accordingly, businesses that manufacture, import, distribute, or otherwise handle tires within the scope of the applicable regulations should continue to consider the relevant SNI compliance requirements.
The precise obligations applicable to a business will depend on the provisions of the amended regulation and the nature of its activities.
Businesses should therefore distinguish between the continued existence of the mandatory SNI framework and the specific changes introduced by Minister of Industry Regulation No. 24/2026.
5. What Businesses Should Consider
Businesses that have previously assessed their compliance based on Minister of Industry Regulation No. 9/2025 should review their arrangements following the issuance of Minister of Industry Regulation No. 24/2026.
The review may include:
- identifying which provisions of Minister of Industry Regulation No. 9/2025 have been amended;
- assessing whether the amendments affect the products or tire categories handled by the business;
- reviewing existing SNI certification and conformity assessment arrangements;
- checking whether existing internal procedures and compliance documentation remain aligned with the amended requirements; and
- assessing the potential impact on ongoing manufacturing, importation, or distribution activities.
This review is particularly relevant for businesses that have already established compliance processes under Minister of Industry Regulation No. 9/2025, as the applicable requirements should now be assessed against the regulation as amended.
6. Practical Implications for Manufacturers and Importers
For manufacturers and importers, the amendment reinforces the need to maintain compliance with the mandatory SNI framework applicable to tires.
Manufacturers should consider whether the amended provisions affect their existing SNI certification, production, or conformity assessment arrangements.
Importers should similarly review the requirements applicable to tires that they intend to bring into Indonesia, including whether the relevant products fall within the scope of the mandatory SNI regime and whether the required compliance documentation remains appropriate.
The specific impact will depend on the provisions amended by Minister of Industry Regulation No. 24/2026 and the characteristics of the relevant products and business activities.
Businesses should therefore assess the amended provisions on a case-by-case basis rather than assuming that the amendment has either broadly expanded or reduced the existing SNI obligations.
The issuance of Minister of Industry Regulation No. 24/2026 also means that businesses should use the amended regulatory framework when reviewing future compliance arrangements rather than relying solely on the text of Minister of Industry Regulation No. 9/2025 in its original form.
Minister of Industry Regulation No. 24/2026 is therefore best understood as a further adjustment to the existing mandatory SNI framework for tires, rather than as a replacement of that framework.
This alert is part of a series examining legal and regulatory developments affecting manufacturers, importers, and businesses operating in Indonesia. As the regulatory framework governing mandatory standards and industrial product compliance continues to develop, businesses should continue to monitor relevant developments and assess the requirements applicable to their products and operations.
