two,Application andPreliminary Examination

Jacob Star will submit factory registration information toBPJPH official website also conducts a preliminary audit of the factory according to the on-site audit content. The following are common problems and solutions at this stage:

1. Regarding brands. According to Indonesian Halal regulations, retail products must have a registered brand name. Before filling out the form, it is recommended that you prepare the English brand name (which can be a non-registered trademark) in advance.

2. Material problems。1) The names of cosmetic materials subject to halal certification review include trade names, generic names, and INCI names. To minimize audit difficulty, companies must ensure that the material names used in registration submissions are consistent with the material names recorded in their internal operational records or ERP systems. 2) Cosmetics may often contain animal-derived ingredients, such as collagen and snake oil. Jacob's Star will provide guidance on whether these are acceptable. If so, Jacob's Star will provide further guidance on the supplementary documentation required for the BPJPH halal certification review for each animal-derived ingredient. Furthermore, fragrance, as a common ingredient in cosmetics, must have a recognized halal certificate. 3) Alcohol from non-distillery sources may be used as a solvent, but a statement of origin must be provided. 4) In general, cosmetic materials are numerous and complex. To avoid duplication of effort, ensure that each material's supporting documentation is issued by its manufacturer. If materials from foreign manufacturers are not currently in stock, a COA/MSDS should be prepared to verify the manufacturer and country of origin. Do not omit any ingredients.

3. Preparation of labels.When preparing product labels, please pay attention to the following:Correspondingly, if it is not possible to prepare a full English label, you can only translate the product name and brand part.If the product has waterproof properties, the agency will require waterproof testing to prove it (only approvedTest report issued by ISO17025 laboratory).

5. As a workerIf the factory produces both Halal and non-Halal products, it is recommended that the factory separate the Halal and non-Halal product facilities and label them."Halal-only" facilities and "non-Halal-only" facilities. If only shared facilities can be used, that is, the factory produces both certified and non-certified products on the same equipment,butNon-halal materials used in the same production line must not contain any halal prohibited ingredients and supporting documents must be provided.

6. Incoming material inspection record (inspection items must include country of origin and manufacturer), storage records, material collection records, raw material purchase contract invoice, production records, warehouse entry and exit cards, pest control records, process inspection records (if any), equipment cleaning records, equipment cleanliness verification records after cleaning (if verification is required as required by the SOP), vehicle hygiene inspection form (raw materials and finished products), transportation logistics agreement, sales records, supply chain traceability documents (traceability exercise cases, recall reports), etc.
