Strengthening Halal implementation in the medical device sector, BPJPH encourages industry transparency and Halal compliance

The Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH) continues to push for strengthened implementation of Halal Product Assurance (JPH) in the medical device sector, as part of consumer protection and enhancing public trust. The agency, together with its Deputy Director for Halal Standards Abdul Syakur, expressed this at a media experience and factory tour event hosted by PT Beiersdorf Indonesia at its Malang plant, held on January 15, 2026.

Deputy Director Abdul stated that the production process of medical devices must comply with Halal certification regulations, from raw material selection and supplier management to manufacturing processes. He also praised the initiative of PT Beiersdorf Indonesia, a company that produces medical devices such as Hansaplast and is committed to implementing the Halal Product Assurance Standard (SJPH) through Halal certification. This move aligns with the government''s commitment to ensuring that businesses comply with JPH regulations. In addition, the Deputy Director emphasized that the commitment to JPH implementation is not limited to food and beverages but also covers medical devices and medical care products directly used by the public. Halal certification in this sector reflects the state''s presence in providing consumers with a sense of safety, certainty, and protection.

During implementation, the application of Halal standards to medical devices will not weaken the products'' functionality, quality, and safety, all of which follow health-standard requirements. All production stages still follow medical principles and strict quality control, while ensuring compliance with the Halal provisions in relevant laws and regulations.
