After we discussed the MRA mechanism and the last update of MRA between Indonesia and South Korea. Now we would like to also discuss about South Korea labs that have been recognized as MRA labs so far. Applicants or manufacturers whom may use South Korea MRA labs will get benefit from the change in certificate prices. It is important to note that the recognition of South Korea MRA labs is still ongoing and the number of labs likely to increase in the near future.
In this article we will discuss all about the MRA mechanism and current recognized MRA labs from South Korea for DJID certification.
MRA labs recognition mechanism
The initial process of recognizing foreign test labs as MRA labs for DJID certification is based on the following mechanism:
- The Ministry of Communication and Digital (KOMDIGI) carries out a mutual recognition by signing an agreement with another country that will become an MRA partner country.
- Type of test reports will be determined in the MRA registration process by evaluating the application for the scope of testing capabilities from the MRA partner labs.
- Foreign test labs that are currently recognized based on the latest regulations and come from MRA partner country have an opportunity to be recognized as MRA labs.
The MRA mechanism between Indonesia and MRA partner country is conducted based on the principle of reciprocal mutually benefit. After the MRA partner country agreed to sign MRA agreement with Indonesia, then below are the stages of MRA labs recognition process:
- The MRA partner country submits an application to Ministry of Communication and Digital (KOMDIGI) for determination of MRA labs.
- Application for determination of MRA labs are submitted by attaching the requested testing scope and all MRA requirement documents.
- All the requirement documents for recognition of foreign testing labs to be MRA labs must be submitted in Bahasa Indonesia or English.
- After the application is submitted, then KOMDIGI through DJID will verify the application and issue the determination.

Conclusion
The implementation of MRA labs will change landscape of type approval certification in Indonesia, especially after the KEPMEN KOMDIGI No. 13 year 2025 is expired by the end of 2026. However, the implementation of this policy will provide benefits for applicants or manufacturers whom use test reports from MRA labs for type approval certification in Indonesia.
