What You Need to Know About Having a Local Authorised Representative in Indonesia

Licence Requirement

The in-country representative must have a Medical Device Distribution License, known as Izin Distribusi Alat Kesehatan (IDAK), issued through Online Single Submission (OSS). In addition, the in-country representative must have a Good Distribution Practice for Medical Devices (GDPMD) certificate.

Single Representative Rule

Foreign manufacturers cannot appoint multiple in-country representatives for the same device, as stated in the Ministry of Health Regulation no. 62 of 2017, Article 13.

Import Restriction

Only the license holder can import the product, as specified in Article 13 of the Ministry of Health Regulation no. 60 of 2017.

Letter of Authorisation (LoA)

  • Issuance: The foreign manufacturer must provide a Letter of Authorisation (LoA) on company letterhead, signed and stamped by an officer of the company.
  • Legalisation: The LoA must be legalised by the local Indonesian Embassy. However, for a country party to the Apostille Convention, it is acceptable to apostilled LoA instead of legalising it by the Indonesia Embassy.
  • Validity: The LoA must be valid for a minimum of 2 years and a maximum of 5 years. This validity period determines the approval license duration for the medical device.
