Halal products are no longer just a trend, but a mandatory requirement in Indonesia. Starting in 2024, the government will require businesses to have halal certification so their products can be marketed legally. So, if you’re looking for the most appropriate way to register for halal certification, this article is a comprehensive guide that will pave the way for your halal business success.Â
Why is Halal Certification Mandatory?
Every Muslim consumer prioritizes the halal quality of the products they consume. With halal certification for MSMEs and large industries, market confidence increases, brands become more professional, and opportunities for expansion expand.
According to the BPJPH, this obligation will be implemented gradually starting in 2024. This means that businesses—especially MSMEs—can no longer delay the halal certification process.
Imagine if your product is not certified, many distribution opportunities to modern retailers, marketplaces, and even exports could be closed.
Examples of Halal Certification for Products
To clarify, here are some examples of halal certifications you can find on the market:
- Food & beverage products (snacks, frozen food, coffee, bakery products).Â
- Cosmetics & care products (lip balm, skincare, body care).Â
- Pharmaceutical products (supplements, herbal remedies, vitamins).Â
- Fashion products made from animal products (shoes, bags, leather jackets).Â
Each product has its own standards and requirements depending on its industry.
Halal Certification Process
Many MSMEs find the term “halal certification” confusing. In fact, the halal certification process is now much more streamlined.
- Registration & Sign Up for Halal Certification → Through the OSS system or the official BPJPH application.Â
- Complete Halal Certification Documents & Requirements → Including product, material, supplier, and production process data.Â
- Halal Inspection by the LPH (Halal Inspection Body) → Product & facility audit.Â
- MUI Fatwa Session → Halal status determination.Â
- Halal Certificate Issuance for MSMEs/Industry → Valid for life (no renewal required).Â
With the right support, this process can be completed more quickly and stress-free.
How to Register for Free Halal Certification
The government provides a way to register for free halal certification specifically for MSMEs through the SEHATI (Free Halal Certification) Program.
However, there are certain requirements:
- Only valid for micro and small businesses.Â
- Limited quota.Â
- Not all product types are eligible for the free program.Â
The free program is attractive, but often the quota is full or your product doesn’t meet the criteria. Waiting can cause your business to lose momentum. If you want to quickly gain consumer trust and enter major marketplaces, it’s best to register for regular halal certification immediately to ensure your product’s halal legality without delay.
Halal Certification Requirements
To expedite the process, the following are the mandatory halal certification requirements:
- NIB (Business Identification Number).Â
- Complete business and product data.Â
- List of raw materials and suppliers.Â
- Production process (flow chart).Â
- Supporting documents (labels, packaging, product photos).Â
The more organized your documents, the faster your halal certification process will be completed.
Halal Certification Registration for MSMEs
MSMEs are the sector that benefits most from the ease of registration. Now, MSME halal certification can be done online at a more affordable cost.
The benefits include:
- Products are more trusted by consumers.Â
- Can enter supermarkets, modern retail outlets, and even for export.Â
- A more professional brand image.Â
Don’t wait for your competitors to take the first step.
How to Quickly Manage Halal Certification
Many entrepreneurs are confused when they first try to register. However, with the right strategy, halal certification can be completed quickly:
- Consult with a halal certification assistant.Â
- Audit documents and make improvements according to standards.Â
- Process the application through the official system.Â
- Monitor until the certificate is issued.Â
Using a professional halal certification assistant will expedite the process and reduce the potential for rejection.
Quick Strategy to Win the Market with Halal Certification
Once you have a certificate, use it for branding:
- Include the halal logo on the packaging.Â

- Use it as a promotional tool (Has Halal Certification from BPJPH).Â
Consumers will feel safer and more loyal.
