Exchange of Information on the progress report of ASEAN
member countries in the wood-based sector

I. OVERVIEW OF WOODBASED INDUSTRIES
Forest resources have important roles in supplying raw materials for the
industries, and in providing sources of income and job opportunities. With a
view to obtain the added values, the processing of forest resources should
always maintain the balance between capacity in supplying the raw materials
and the capacity of the industries. Therefore, the wood based industries in
Indonesia are oriented towards products that are of higher added value and
competitive at international markets.
The wood-based industries in Indonesia have developed since 1985, with the
establishment of sawmills and plywood industries, and subsequently wood
working and furniture industries. In the year of 1990s, pulp and paper

industries were established. The value of wood-based products export in
2005 was approximately US $ 8.00 billion, which increased from the previous
year. Wood-based products export were dominated by plywood and
furniture, followed by wood working, and then pulp.
With the purpose to sustain the natural forests and the continuity of raw
materials, the forestry industries in Indonesia have undertaken reengineering
towards utilization of wood from forest plantations, Industrial Forest
Plantations, people’s forests and other sources. The National Movement on
Land Rehabilitation (GN-RHL) has been undertaken country wide, in order to
rehabilitate forest areas, as well as to provide raw materials for future
industries.
In anticipation of the development of standards in the global markets, some
efforts have been taken to improve the Indonesian National Standards (SNI)
for wood products. These were done by the Government with the full
involvement of the private sectors, with the hope that Indonesian woodbased products can compete favorably in the international markets.

D. Adoption of National Standardization Guide for Conformity Assessment
In order to improve the performance of conformity assessment bodies
accredited by the National Accreditation Body (KAN), some measures have
been taken, one of which is improving the status of some guides, from KAN’s
Guide into National Standardization Guide (PSN).
This status improvement enable the guide to be used nationally by all
institutions concerned. The guides, among other are for product certification
(PSN 302 – 2004), SNI Marking (PSN 303-2004), corrective action measures
(PSN 304-2004), general provision for third party (PSN 305-2004), proficiency
test (PSN 307-2004), etc.

In the effort of improving the quality of Indonesian Standards (SNI), BSN has
adopted some guides for standards development, namely :
(1) PSN 01-2005 : Development of SNI;
(2) PSN 02-2005 : Technical Committee for SNI Development;
(3) PSN 03-2005 : Adoption of ISO/IEC Standards into SNI (under the
process of revision).
