How is Indonesia's BPJPH promoting halal compliance in the medical-device sector?

Indonesia's Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH) continues to push for stronger implementation of Halal Product Assurance (JPH) in the medical-device sector, as part of consumer protection and building public trust. Abdul Syukur, BPJPH Deputy for Cooperation and Halal Standards, said the production process for medical devices must comply with halal certification rules — from raw-material selection and supplier management to manufacturing processes. He stressed that JPH implementation is not limited to food and beverages but also covers medical devices and medical-care products used directly by the public. Applying halal standards to medical devices does not weaken product function, quality or safety; all production stages still follow medical principles and strict quality control while ensuring compliance with halal provisions. For example, PT Beiersdorf Indonesia produces medical devices such as Hansaplast and is committed to implementing the SJPH standard through halal certification.
