It is important to note that Batikmarks is not contradictory with SNI, rather, the examination on products use the quality standard of SNI as the reference. Thus, if batik SMEs apply for Batikmark certification, automatically its products obtain two assurances: the assurance as products of Batik Indonesia, and the assurance on the quality of products. The SNI’s administrative fee is IDR 10,000,000 (or around USD 1000) per type of product, while Batikmark’s administrative and examination fee is around IDR 1,700,000 (or around USD 170). This means that it could be more efficient to apply for Batikmark certification, rather than applying for the SNI then applying Batikmark, or solely the SNI. If the SMEs apply for both certifications, then they have to pay at least USD 1,170 per type of product. As an example, the owners of Batik SMEs at Laweyan, Solo shared their resistance on applying for Batikmark certification since they have already applied and obtained the SNI. If then they also apply for Batikmark, then they will have to spend another cost for Batikmark certification.
