Indonesia Local Representative
The Indonesian regulations require the manufacturers to appoint a local representative with a Distributor License. A distributor can be appointed to represent the foreign manufacturer in Indonesia. However, appointing an independent third party would provide flexibility to change distributors or appoint multiple distributors for better market penetration.
Indonesia Medical Device Registration
The Local Representative must create an account in the online portal. The registration process is same for all the device classes. However, the documentation requirement varies with class of device. The registration is a two stages process –
- Pre-Registration process
- Evaluation Process
MoH verifies the classification of device and determines the cost of evaluation. The result of pre-registration along with the invoice is e-mailed to applicant. The local representative, on behalf of manufacturer shall make the payment and upload the proof of payment. MoH will review the documents and share the results through email to applicant. Some devices require In-country testing at an accredited Laboratory.
