The use of PCBs has been restricted for years and banned for use in new transformers by IARC*, the international agency for cancer research, a United Nations agency.

Nevertheless, a large number of PCB-contaminated transformers are still operating. It is a legal obligation for industry and power plants to detect the presence of PCBs in transformer oil. Therefore, there is a need for complete information regarding the new direction of the correct PCBs management policy in electrical transformers and capacitors in Indonesia.
