In Indonesia , the Halal Product Assurance Law No. 33 Year 2014 (UU 33/2014) was passed in October 2014. It requires all products imported, distributed and sold as Halal in Indonesia to be Halal certified, and entered into effect 5 years from its original enactment i.e. on October 17, 2019. Subsequent regulations including Government Regulation No. 31 Year 2019 (GR 31/2019) and Ministry of Religious Affairs Regulation No. 26 Year 2019 (MORA Reg 26/2019) set out the implementing regulations for Halal product assurance and facilitation of the Halal quality regime.
Under the new regime, the Indonesian government established the Halal Product Guarantee Agency (or BPJPH) to oversee the entire Halal product assurance system (JPH to use the Indonesian abbreviation), including the registration of LPH for the inspection and/or testing of the Halal product quality. BPJPH relies on MUI for the certification of Halal auditors, determination of Halal product quality, and accreditation of LPH with MUI responsible for holding Fatwa Assemblies as before.
