Industry Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita announced the impending rule on Tuesday on the sidelines of the Investor Daily Roundtable event in Jakarta.

He explained that the government would mandate the use of radiation portal monitoring (RPM) systems designed to screen for radioactive materials.

“We will prepare a regulation requiring industrial estates and factories in Indonesia to report the results of RPM surveys. The technology and equipment are already available,” he said on Tuesday, as reported by Kumparan.

The government has opted for a collaborative implementation model to ease the potential financial burden on businesses. Rather than forcing each company to purchase expensive RPM equipment, industries will be permitted to partner with certified third-party surveyors.
