January 2019, the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology published document No. 67 of 2018. The document deals with 365 industry standards such as "integrated screening screen" (see Annex for standard number, name, main content and implementation date). Among them, there are 7 chemical industry standards, 1 petrochemical industry standard, 12 metallurgical industry standards, 4 non-ferrous metal industry standards, 2 building materials industry standards, 64 machinery industry standards, 71 light industry standards, 19 textile industry standards, 3 packaging industry standards and 182 communication industry standards.

SMM believes that the main treatment methods of nickel slag at present are landfill, cement, and paving. This time, the official inclusion of nickel-iron slag powder in national building materials is also good news for the factory. Compared with landfills, the production of nickel slag into cement, the factory can not only no longer spend landfill costs, but also bring economic benefits, diluted costs. However, whether the nickel slag can be made into cement should also be determined according to the geographical location of the factory and the iron production process, and the cost of recovery should be considered comprehensively.

The start-up of Indonesia's Excelsior Nickel Cobalt (ENC) HPAL project, which is expected to produce its first MHP in July and refined nickel in August, marks another major expansion of the country's downstream nickel industry. While the project strengthens Indonesia's position as the world's leading battery materials hub and attracts further foreign investment, the additional 72,000 tpa of Class-1 nickel capacity is likely to increase demand for domestic limonite ore in the long term while simultaneously adding to the global surplus of battery-grade nickel. In the near term, the new supply could exert further pressure on MHP and nickel prices, potentially reducing margins across the Indonesian nickel value chain and reinforcing market concerns over oversupply amid ongoing discussions on additional RKAB quotas.
