Indonesian Halal Standards

Indonesian Halal Standards — SJPH, SNI and BPJPH Decisions

Indonesia's halal regulatory system is built on a layered framework of laws, government regulations, ministerial decisions, and technical standards. For exporters, understanding these components is essential for compliance.

SJPH

SJPH — Sistem Jaminan Produk Halal (Halal Product Assurance System)

SJPH is the integrated system that businesses must design, implement, and maintain to ensure the continuity of the halal production process. It covers materials, production processes, products, resources, and procedures.

The SJPH framework is built on five core principles (arkan al-halal):

Commitment and Responsibility
Management commitment to halal assurance
Materials
All ingredients must be halal-certified and traceable
Halal Production Process
Procedures to prevent cross-contamination
Products
Final product compliance verification
Monitoring and Evaluation
Internal audit and management review

Persyaratan Umum Pangan Halal — General Requirements for Halal Food

SNI 99004:2021 is the primary Indonesian national standard for halal food products. This standard establishes requirements for the halal food chain, including raw materials, processing, packaging, storage, transportation, and distribution.
