Ready to market your product to Indonesia? Before you can start selling, the first thing to do is you will need to get BPOM certification. BPOM is the Indonesian Food and Drug Monitoring Agency, and they’re pretty strict about what products can be sold in the country. Getting their stamp of approval shows customers that your product is safe and high-quality.    

Products Requiring BPOM Certification

BPOM certification is mandatory for a wide range of products sold in Indonesia. By acquiring BPOM certification, manufacturers demonstrate their commitment to consumer safety and compliance with local regulations, thereby gaining the trust of Indonesian consumers and authorities. Here are some common product categories that require BPOM approval:

– Food and Beverages: 

– Cosmetics 

– Pharmaceuticals/all types of drugs 

– Medical Devices 

– Health Supplements 

– Household Chemicals 

– Baby Products 

– Tobacco Products 

The requirement to get BPOM certification is determined by various factors, including the scale of production, shelf life, and product distribution. However, there are certain food products that are exempt and do not require BPOM certification. For example, processed foods produced by home industries and processed foods with a shelf life less than 7 days.   

Benefits of BPOM Certification 

Having BPOM certification can provide numerous benefits for your business. The benefits of BPOM certification include:

— Legally guaranteed product quality: This ensures that your product meets the required standards.

— Guarantee of product safety: This assures consumers that your product is safe for use.

— Stable pricing for products with BPOM permits: Products with BPOM certification often have more stable pricing in the market.

— Enhanced product image compared to products without BPOM permits: BPOM certification can significantly improve your product’s reputation.

— Easier distribution to a wider market: Products with BPOM certification often have easier access to a broader market.”

In simpler terms, having BPOM certification is like a seal of approval that tells consumers and authorities that your product is safe, reliable, and meets all the necessary standards. Customer confidence in the products will increase.    

BPOM Certification Process 

The first step to obtaining BPOM approval is gathering all the necessary documents. Please note that the required documents, registration process, and timeline may vary depending on the type of product being registered. Each product category, such as food, cosmetics, drugs, or supplements, has its own specific regulations and requirements.

Generally, manufacturers need to submit an application form along with company and product information, lab test results and safety analysis, as well as product samples for testing. Ensuring that all paperwork is complete and organized can help speed up the process.

After registering on BPOM’s online system and submitting the required documents, the following general steps take place:

— Document Review and Assessment

* BPOM officials will review the submitted documents for completeness and accuracy.

* They may request additional information or conduct inspections if necessary.

— Product Evaluation

* BPOM will evaluate the product based on the information provided, including ingredients, safety data, potential health risks, labeling, and advertising claims.

* BPOM may request additional lab tests conducted by certified laboratories.

— Inspection of Manufacturing Facility (if necessary): For certain products, BPOM may conduct an on-site inspection of the manufacturing facility to ensure compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

– Approval and Registration Number Issuance: Once your product passes evaluation and testing, BPOM will issue a registration number (e.g., MD for domestic food, ML for imported food, NA for cosmetics), which must be printed on the product label.

– Post-Certification Compliance: After certification, BPOM will monitor your product to ensure it remains compliant with regulations, including safety and quality standards.
