Notes on Raw Material Warehouse Management for Indonesia BPJPH Certification

1. Policy posting: Post the Halal policy in the warehouse; it is recommended to laminate the "Halal policy" and post it in a conspicuous location.

2. Facility configuration: The warehouse needs pest-control devices such as glue traps and mosquito lamps, and should keep pest-control records (which can be self-kept records or third-party service records).

3. Original labels: Halal materials must retain the manufacturer's original labels so the auditor can verify the material's name, manufacturer, and country. If there genuinely are none, a complete set of documents allowing clear traceability is needed to ensure the material is from the declared manufacturer.

4. Standardized traceability system: Raw materials need a traceability ledger, with each material having an inbound/outbound card or a document of similar function (including inbound/outbound date, batch number, quantity, and requisition records); the incoming material inspection form must include the country of production and the manufacturer.

5. Zoned isolation: If all the factory's products apply for Halal certification, note that all materials in the warehouse must be from Halal sources and already reported; if only some products apply for Halal, an additional Halal-only zone must be designated, with a conspicuous dividing line and a sign (such as a green "HALAL ONLY" sign). In addition, raw material tools and equipment, especially those in direct contact with materials such as pallets and weighing devices, must also be designated Halal-only and labeled "HALAL ONLY."

6. Sensitive material stock: During the on-site review, it is recommended to have the following materials in stock for inspection: a. Animal-source ingredients must be in stock, such as collagen, gelatin, beef and beef-derivative materials, etc. The auditor may take samples on-site to bring back to Indonesia for pork-source testing, so ensure these materials are non-pork-source. b. Fragrances and high-risk additives such as emulsifiers are recommended to be in stock, so the manufacturer can be verified.
