Procedure of Halal Certification in Indonesia

There are several procedures of halal certification in Indonesia. First, the applicant must submit their documents. Second, the submitted documents will be verified by the BPJBH to ensure that they are authentic and complete. Upon successful verification of the documents, the potential halal product will be tested by the LPH. After that, the MUI will determine whether the product meets the halal criteria in a Fatwa Halal court session. Should the product pass all the required criterias, the halal certificate will be issued by BPJPH. Once your product is certified as Halal, you will be eligible to put this stamp on your packaging. It is important to know that the Halal certification’s logo has been renewed recently.
