What the notification says

The Ministry of Industry has stipulated the mandatory implementation of SNI for iodized salt products. These products are solid food items in which sodium chloride (NaCl) is the main component, fortified with potassium iodate (KIO₃). Business actors that produce, import, and/or distribute iodized salt for consumption in Indonesia are required to comply with the provisions of SNI 3556:2024 for iodized salt intended for consumption. The conformity assessment process is conducted through the following certification systems: Type 1 certification system: implemented through an application review and quality conformity testing in accordance with SNI requirements. Type 5 certification system: implemented through audits of the production process and the application of a quality and food safety management system, such as ISO 9001:2015, ISO 22000:2018, Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP), or Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) 22000; along with quality conformity testing based on SNI requirements. Conformity assessment is carried out by a Conformity Assessment Body (LSPro) and testing laboratories that is accredited by Komite Akreditasi Nasional (KAN) in accordance with the scope of the applicable SNI for iodized salt for consumption, and appointed by the Minister of Industry. SNI certificates may only be held by domestic industrial companies or overseas manufacturers that are registered electronically through the SIINas platform.
