Step 2: Product Registration
After the product is tested, stakeholders are required to submit their application through licensing electronic system of Directorate General of Consumer Protection and Trade Compliance (Direktorat Jenderal Perlindungan Konsumen dan Tertib Niaga): http://simpktn.kemendag.go.id/index.php/k3l/ . The stakeholders are required to put the registration number of K3L products on the packaging and/or labels after the products are registered.
