The LSBU Certification system implemented in CL 21/2021 is quite new compared to the Minister of Public Work and Housing Circular Letter No. 10/SE/M/2021 regarding Procedures for Applying for a Business Entity Certification Agency License (LSBU), Construction Work Competency Certification, and Business Entity Certification (CL 10/ 2021). Where it previously used the Construction Subsector of the OSS or LPJK/ Lembaga Pengembangan Jasa Konstruksi (Construction Service Development Institute). But now, it uses the SIJK and there are some changes regarding the process itself.

Along with the passing of CL 21/ 2021, there are also several new regulations such as Circular Letter 17/SE/LPJK/2021 regarding Technical Guidance for Construction Service through Business Certification Institute for New Applications and Scope Expansion which stipulates the new standard guidelines criteria for the processing of Business Certificates. This system renewal can be challenging and can take some time if one is not familiar with it. Should you require help or consultation, please contact us at info@schinderlawfirm.com.
