Abstract

TKDN certification is a government policy to increase the use of domestic products to support the competitiveness of the national industry. This report aims to review the TKDN certification process, the requirements that must be met for TKDN certification, and the effect of TKDN certification on companies, specifically for the product Amlodipine Besilate of PT Kimia Farma Tbk. Banjaran Plant. Data were obtained through direct observation, interviews, and studies of related data. The results of the study show that the TKDN certification process involves various stages, from submitting an application to issuing a certificate. TKDN certification has a positive influence on the company, such as being able to widely participate in various tenders, products can be published in the Ministry of Health's Sectoral Electronic Catalog, and there is a guarantee of protection of local products from the government.
