What You Need to Know About Halal Certification in Indonesia

Products exempt from Halal Certification must carry a visible non-halal statement. Here are products exempt:
- Alcoholic drinks
- Pork, dog, and their derivatives

Non-halal products must not be misleadingly presented as halal and must adhere to the labeling requirements for consumer transparency.

- Micro and small enterprises (MSMEs), and foreign and imported products have an extended deadline until October 17, 2026.

These measures ensure halal product integrity and consumer protection in the Indonesian market while facilitating recognition of internationally certified halal products.

FAQs About Halal Certification in Indonesia
Failure to comply may result in administrative sanctions, including written warnings, fines, and potentially the withdrawal of your products from circulation. Retailers may also refuse to stock non-compliant goods.
Under GR 42/2024, BPJPH certificates have indefinite validity. Renewal is only required if you change the product’s material composition or the Halal Production Process (PPH).
Yes. Products that are inherently non-halal (Haram) are exempt from certification. However, they are legally required to bear a clear “Non-Halal” label or description on the packaging to protect consumers.
The Halal Assurance System (Sistem Jaminan Produk Halal or SJPH) is the mandatory internal management system implemented by a business to ensure the continuous Halal integrity of their product, supply chain, and production process (PPH). The LPH audits this system directly.
SHLN (Foreign Halal Certificate Registration): This is the streamlined process for imported products whose foreign certifier has a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) with BPJPH. It bypasses the need for a full on-site audit in Indonesia.
Full Certification: Required for domestic production, or for imported products if the foreign certifier does NOT have an MRA with BPJPH. It requires a comprehensive on-site audit by an Indonesian LPH and the issuance of a Halal Fatwa by MUI.
