Question:
Assalamu’alaikum wr. wb. I am a small business owner in the processed food sector located in Cikarang, West Java. I have actually wanted to take care of halal certification for a long time. However, due to time and cost constraints, the plan has not been implemented until now.
In connection with the current high demand for halal certification for our products, we would like to take care of halal certification. Please explain the following matters: When applying for halal certification, do we have to include product samples or samples for inspection? How do I register for LPPOM MUI halal certification?
That is our question. Thank you for your answer and explanation.

Dear Mr. Handi,
Thank you for your attention and your questions regarding halal certification. In applying for halal certification, you do not need to include a product sample because the inspection will be carried out directly at your business location after registration. The inspection consists of raw materials, additional materials, production processes, packaging and other aspects related to the guarantee of product halalness. Samples are also taken by auditors according to the provisions, for example, for animal derivative products or waterproof cosmetics.
Meanwhile, regarding the halal certification registration procedure, we can explain that before registering for halal certification, halal certification applicants must implement the Halal Product Assurance System (SJPH).
To facilitate information for halal certification applicants, LPPOM MUI provides a thematic HAS 23000 book for companies that want to understand more about the requirements of the halal assurance system. The book is available in e-book form and can be accessed at Gramedia Digital. In addition, we have an introduction to the halal certification class, whose registration can be accessed at the link: https://www.halalmui.org/pengenalan-sertifikasi-halal/.
In addition, companies can also take part in SJPH training organized by competent and accredited training institutions BPJPH, then apply for halal certification registration by submitting a Document Receipt Letter (STTD) application to BPJPH. Information related to submitting an STTD application and documents required by BPJPH can be found on the page www.bpjph.halal.go.id.
Furthermore, companies can choose LPPOM MUI for product halal examination, the data of which can be sent online using the CEROL-SS23000 system via the website www.e-lppommui.org. We have 34 years of experience with more than 1,000 auditors and run an internationally recognized service system based on SNI ISO/IEC ISO9001:2015 and SNI ISO/IEC 17065:2012 to ensure superior customer service.
More complete information regarding halal certification can be accessed through the official LPPOM MUI website at www.halalmui.org. If you have any questions regarding the CEROLSS23000 system, you can send them via email: [email protected], WhatsApp +62 811-1148-696 or hotline 14056.
That is our explanation. Hopefully, it answers your questions. Greetings of success always. Wassalamualaikum wr. wb.
