Minister of Manpower Decree Number 254 of 2026 is a legal product regulating the Establishment of Indonesian National Work Competency Standards (SKKNI) for the Processing Industry Category, Main Group of Coal and Petroleum Refining Products Industry, specifically in the Petroleum Blending and Its Products and Derivatives sector. This document was enacted by the Minister of Manpower on September 14, 2026, and is currently in force.
SKKNI is a formulation of work capabilities encompassing aspects of knowledge, skills, and/or expertise, as well as work attitudes relevant to task implementation and job requirements established in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. In this context, the SKKNI for Petroleum Blending regulates specific competency standards that must be possessed by workers involved in petroleum blending processes and their derivative products, including technical aspects, work safety, and final product quality.
The establishment of this SKKNI is grounded in the need of Indonesia's petroleum processing industry for competent and certified workers, considering that petroleum blending is a crucial stage in the refining industry requiring specialized expertise to produce products meeting desired specifications, both for domestic needs and export purposes.
This document serves as a reference for various stakeholders, including companies in the petroleum processing industry sector, vocational education and training institutions, professional certification bodies (LSP), and relevant government agencies in developing training programs and competency certification schemes aligned with industry needs.
Legally, this decree falls under the category of Legislative Regulations in the form of a Ministerial Decree, with the regulatory subject being SKKNI for Petroleum Blending. The related legal field is Labor Law, indicating that the primary focus of this regulation is on developing and standardizing workforce competencies, rather than on taxation or fiscal aspects directly.
