BPJPH Head Decree 243/2025: Halal Service Standards and Tariffs

BPJPH Head Decree Number 243 of 2025 on Service Standards at BPJPH sets out 27 types of services complete with requirements, timeframes, and tariffs. This regulation revokes Decree 120/2022 and becomes the new reference for businesses handling halal certification.

What Is Regulated

Decree 243/2025 covers services such as accreditation of Halal Inspection Agencies (LPH), registration of Halal Product Process Assistance Agencies (LP3H) and PPH Assistants, issuance of halal certificates, and facilitation codes. Each service is equipped with document requirements, estimated completion time, and applicable tariffs.

This regulation is not a technical guide on ingredients or the halal product assurance system. Its focus is the service standards at BPJPH as a public service provider. For businesses, this document serves as a reference to know what must be prepared, how long the process takes, and what costs arise.

Consequences for Businesses

1. Document requirements become clearer

With service standards in place, businesses can refer directly to Decree 243/2025 to find out which documents are required for each type of service. This reduces uncertainty and the potential for back-and-forth due to incomplete documents. However, businesses must still ensure that internal documents such as the SJPH manual and production records are well organized.

2. Timeframes and tariffs are more measurable

Setting timeframes and tariffs helps businesses plan budgets and schedules. For micro and small enterprises, the facilitation code can serve as a reference for whether a service receives cost facilitation. Businesses need to check the tariff provisions and facilitation codes listed in the appendix to Decree 243/2025 to avoid wrong assumptions.

3. Dependence on LPH and assistants

LPH accreditation services and PPH assistant registration affect the availability of institutions that will inspect and assist businesses. The accreditation process, which refers to SNI ISO/IEC 17065:2012, requires LPH to meet requirements for impartiality, confidentiality, personnel competence, and complaint and appeal management. For businesses, this means the quality of inspection and assistance should be more standardized.

4. Link to SJPH

Although Decree 243/2025 regulates services, implementation on the business side still refers to the criteria of the Halal Product Assurance System (SJPH) as stipulated in BPJPH Decree 57/2021, which was amended by Decree 20/2023. The five SJPH criteria—commitment and responsibility, ingredients, halal product process, product, and monitoring and evaluation—are the main reference in SJPH implementation. Businesses need to ensure this system is ready before applying for certification services.

Practical Steps

• Identify the type of service to be applied for and match it against the list of 27 services in Decree 243/2025.
• Check the document requirements, timeframe, and tariff listed for that service.
• Ensure the SJPH documents and production records comply with the criteria in Decree 57/2021 as amended.
• If using LPH or assistant services, ensure the institution is accredited or registered in accordance with the provisions.
• Keep proof of submission and monitor the process according to the specified timeframe.

Note on Halal Determination

It should be emphasized that the determination of product halalness is the authority of the MUI Fatwa Commission or the Halal Product Fatwa Committee. Halal certificates are issued only by BPJPH. Decree 243/2025 regulates service standards; it does not determine the halal status of a product. Businesses cannot assume that meeting service requirements automatically guarantees halal status without going through the applicable inspection and determination process.

Conclusion

BPJPH Head Decree 243/2025 provides a more transparent service framework for businesses. By understanding the requirements, timeframes, and tariffs, businesses can prepare themselves better. However, readiness of the halal product assurance system and ingredient traceability remain the responsibility of businesses. This regulation should be read as a service guide, not as a guarantee of results.
