BPJPH Halal Certification - Indonesia's Only Recognized Official Body

BPJPH was established by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs in October 2017. Under Indonesia's Law No. 33/2014, BPJPH began international Halal certification of products on October 17, 2019, taking over from MUI - Indonesia's sole Halal certification and audit body since 1989 - to become the nationally recognized Halal body within Indonesia. The Indonesian Presidential Office also supports BPJPH in issuing international Halal certification to more micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises.

Since early 2022, BPJPH has continuously invited scholars, practitioners, religious scholars, and government agencies with Halal-product-related competence and expertise to join the certification team, to bring a better service experience to certification applicants worldwide.

The ISO 37001: Anti-Bribery Management System, implemented by BPJPH in December 2021, can effectively prevent suspected bribery and corruption, thereby winning the international community's trust in the integrity of Indonesian Halal certification.

BPJPH officials state that, according to the mandatory provisions of Article 33 of Indonesia's Law No. 33 of 2014 on Halal Product Assurance, the determination of Halal status for BPJPH Halal certification remains the responsibility of the Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI). Article 33 of Indonesia's new law and the Halal Product Assurance Law (UU JPH) stipulate that the MUI body is authorized to determine Halal products.
