The Minister of Industry recently announced that the government is formulating new regulations requiring industrial zones and factories nationwide to submit regular radiation monitoring reports, in response to the previously discovered cesium-137 (Cs-137) radioactive contamination incident in the Cikande Industrial Zone, Banten Province.
Key points of the new regulations include mandatory quarterly reports: enterprises must submit Radiation Portal Monitoring (RPM) data every three months through the National Industrial Information System (SIINas). At the same time, enterprises can choose to purchase their own testing equipment or entrust a third-party agency to complete the testing; the goal is to ensure the safety and quality of export products and maintain international trust in Indonesian industry.
The government emphasizes that raw materials, production processes, and supply chains in the Cikande Industrial Zone have not been affected by radiation, and multi-site decontamination work in the area is expected to be completed by December 2025. The new regulations will be promulgated and implemented as soon as possible to strengthen industrial safety standards.
