How long does health supplements registration take? →
Health supplements are registered with BPOM and carry an SD number when produced domestically or an SI number when imported. The registration is valid for five years.
Supplements sit alongside traditional medicine in BPOM’s structure and follow a similar dossier and laboratory-testing process. Halal certification extends to supplements, with the 17 October 2026 deadline under GR 42/2024. A foreign brand registers through a local license holder.
The prefix on a registration number tells you the product type and, for many categories, whether it was made in Indonesia or imported.

| DK, DBL, DTL, GKL | Pharmaceutical drug | Marketing authorization (izin edar / NIE). The class letters mark over-the-counter, limited, or prescription status. |
