Since 2016, ICI has supported more than 1,000 BPOM, Halal, and Medical Device registrations in Indonesia. Our experience shows one consistent truth:
Products that comply with Indonesian regulations will be fully registered — but only if the system behind them is solid.

Many companies believe that halal certification is only about proving the absence of pork DNA.
However, under Indonesia’s halal system, the process is just as important as the product.
The most common cause of delay or rejection is not the ingredients, but an incomplete or poorly prepared SJPH Manual.
Without a strong SJPH, your application is considered a house built on sand.
What Is the SJPH Manual?
SJPH (Sistem Jaminan Produk Halal) is Indonesia’s official Halal Product Assurance System.
It is a management system, not just a document.
SJPH governs:
- Ingredients
- Production processes
- Human resources
- Facilities
- Monitoring and evaluation
The SJPH Manual is your company’s written commitment and operational roadmap, proving to BPJPH that you can maintain halal integrity 24/7 — not only on audit day.
Core Components of the SJPH System
The SJPH is structured around five mandatory components, as required by Indonesian regulations.
1. Commitment and Responsibility (Komitmen dan Tanggung Jawab)
1. Commitment and Responsibility (Komitmen dan Tanggung Jawab)This is the foundation of the entire system.
- Halal Policy
A written halal commitment signed by top management.
- Management Responsibility
Appointment of a Halal Management Team and a Muslim Halal Supervisor (Penyelia Halal). - Human Resource Development
Mandatory halal training for relevant staff, at least once per year.
2. Materials (Bahan)
All materials must be strictly controlled.
- Halal Integrity
Raw materials, additives, and processing aids must have valid halal evidence. - Approved Material List
Only materials verified by BPJPH and LPH may be used. - Verification Process
Incoming materials must match the approved list (name, brand, manufacturer).
3. Halal Production Process (Proses Produk Halal / PPH)
This prevents contamination risk.
- Facility Separation
Halal and non-halal processes must be clearly separated.
- Cleanliness and Hygiene
Equipment must be cleaned according to Islamic principles. - Written Procedures
Covering receiving, production, storage, distribution, and non-conforming products.
4. Products (Produk)
Certified products must meet halal integrity standards.
- Product Identity
Names, shapes, and sensory characteristics must not indicate haram elements. - Packaging
Clean, safe, and not misleading. - Traceability
Every product must be traceable back to approved materials and facilities.
5. Monitoring and Evaluation (Pemantauan dan Evaluasi)
This ensures long-term compliance.
- Internal Audit
Conducted at least once per year. - Management Review
Annual evaluation by top management. - Corrective Actions
All non-conformities must be corrected and documented.
Why Incomplete SJPH Causes Immediate Rejection
Under PP No. 42 of 2024 and PMA No. 20 of 2021, BPJPH and LPH apply strict document verification.
Common failure points include:
- Lack of Traceability
No clear verification of sub-ingredients. - Unclear Contamination Control
Especially critical for shared facilities without proper cleaning (penyamakan) procedures. - Weak Halal Management Authority
If the Penyelia Halal has no authority to stop production, the system is considered ineffective. - Inconsistent Documentation
Mismatch between SJPH manual and actual production records leads to non-conformance findings.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can we use a generic SJPH template from the internet?
A: No. Templates must be customized to your facility layout, production flow, and KBLI classification. Generic SJPH documents rarely pass on-site inspection.
Q: Is a Muslim Halal Supervisor mandatory?
A: Yes. Under UU No. 33 of 2014, a Muslim Penyelia Halal is a mandatory pillar of the SJPH system.
Q: Do we need to update the SJPH when adding new products?
A: Yes. Any change in ingredients or process must be reported. Failure to update may result in halal certificate revocation.
