In Bali: a PT PMA cannot register this code

National procedure — does not apply to a PT PMA in Bali

In Bali this activity is reserved for MSMEs; a PT PMA (large enterprise) cannot register it. The national procedure below applies only to non-PMA operators.

Experimental natural science research and development — conducting controlled laboratory experiments, field trials, and applied research involving biohazards, controlled substances, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), chemical synthesis, pharmaceutical compounds, or other materials requiring specialized safety protocols. This is distinct from observational research (72101) — you're actively manipulating variables, conducting experiments with regulatory oversight, and working with materials that require permits beyond standard lab safety.

Licensing & Requirements

What You Need

National procedure — does not apply to a PT PMA in Bali

The licensing path below is the national procedure, valid for a foreign-owned company outside Bali (e.g. Jakarta). In Bali, this activity is currently blocked for a PT PMA under the 13 May 2026 moratorium — OSS risk at scale Besar is Rendah/Menengah-Rendah on every scope → blocked by Bali moratorium 13 May 2026. See the Bali status badge above before planning a Bali setup.

2020 → 2025

New code in KBLI 2025 — experimental R&D was previously bundled with general natural science research in KBLI 2020. The 2025 classification separates experimental work (72109) from observational research (72101), recognizing that experimental R&D requires stricter regulatory oversight due to biohazards, controlled substances, and GMOs.

Common Questions

Can foreigners operate a other natural science r&d business in Indonesia?

Nationally yes — but NOT in Bali. KBLI 72109 (Penelitian dan Pengembangan Eksperimental Ilmu Alam dan Enjinering Lainnya) is TERBUKA (100% foreign ownership) at the national level, but a PT PMA currently cannot register it in Bali (reserved for UMKM / 2026 moratorium). OSS risk at scale Besar is Rendah/Menengah-Rendah on every scope → blocked by Bali moratorium 13 May 2026 Outside Bali it is open to a PT PMA with no local partner required.

What license is required for KBLI 72109?

KBLI 72109 has a Rendah risk classification. Required license: NIB. Processing time: Otomatis.

What is KBLI 72109?

KBLI 72109 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Penelitian dan Pengembangan Eksperimental Ilmu Alam dan Enjinering Lainnya" (Other Natural Science R&D). It falls under Section M of KBLI 2025, the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification updated by BPS (Regulation 7/2025). The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed; operators should verify the code's current OSS/NIB treatment before relying on it for licensing, reporting, or amendments.

How did KBLI 72109 change from KBLI 2020 to 2025?

KBLI 72109 was mapped from previous codes 72109, 72107 (KBLI 2020). Multiple 2020 codes were merged into this single 2025 code. The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed. If an NIB still relies on legacy KBLI 2020 mappings, treat the migration as overdue and verify/remediate the OSS record before new license applications, amendments, LKPM, import approvals, or investor/worker sponsorship.
