EXPLANATION TO LAW OF REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA NUMBER 33 YEAR 2014 ON HALAL PRODUCT ASSURANCE
I. GENERAL
The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia gives mandates to the state to assure the freedom of each citizen to embrace their own religion and to worship according to their religion and belief.
To assure each believer to worship and perform the teachings of their religion, the state has the obligation to provide protection and assurance on the halalness of the Products that are consumed and used by the public. Assurance regarding Halal Product should be conducted according to the principles of protection, justice, legal assurance, accountability, and transparency, effectiveness and efficiency, as well as professionalism. Thus, the assurance of organizing Halal Product aims to provide convenience, security, safety, and certainty of the availability of Halal Products consumed and used by the public and to increase the added value for Business Operators to produce and sell Halal Products. The objective of Halal Product Assurance becomes important in view of the rapid advancement of science and technology in food, drug, and cosmetic. It significantly affects the shift from the process and utilization of raw material for food, beverage, cosmetic, drug, and other Products which are originally simple and natural into the process and utilization of scientifically engineered raw material. Processing products by using advancement of science and technology enables the mixing between halal and haram both intentionally and unintentionally. Thus, to know the halalness and purity of a Product, it requires a special study of multidisciplinary knowledge; such as knowledge in food, chemistry, biochemistry, industrial technology, and understanding of sharia.
Related to that issue, in reality, there are a lot of Products circulating in the public that have not been assured of their halalness. Meanwhile, various Regulating Legislations related to the regulation of Halal Product have not provide legal assurance for the Muslims. Hence, regulation concerning JPH must be regulated in one comprehensive law covering Product of food, beverage, drug, cosmetic, chemical product, biological product, and genetically engineered product in which the element and process are halal to eat, drink, use, or utilize according to sharia.
The main regulation in this Law, among others, are as follows:
- To provide availability of Halal Product, product materials that are considered and determined to be halal, both material coming from animal raw material, plant raw material, and material obtained through chemical, biological, and genetically engineered process. In addition, Halal Product process is also determine which is a series of activities to assure the halalness of product including processing, storing, packaging, distributing, selling, and presenting of food, beverage, drug, cosmetic, chemical product, biological product, and genetically modified product.
- This Law regulates the right and obligation of Business actors in the certification and labelling process of JPH by providing exemption to Business Operators that produce non-halal Product by obligating them to firmly include non-halal information on the Product packaging or on specific part of the Product that is easy to see, read, and not easy to erase, and is an integral part of the product.
- In order to provide public service, the Government is obligated to organize JPH in which the implementation is performed by BPJPH. In performing its function, authorization, and task, BPJPH collaborates with the related ministries/institutions, MUI, and LPH.
- Submission of Halal Certificate application is performed by Business Operators to BPJPH to be examined and checked for administrative requirements. Examination at the business location and testing of Products is conducted by the halal inspection agency that has been accredited by MUI, whereas the halalness of Products is determined based on MUI fatwa by considering examination and testing results of the halal inspection agency in the form of Halal Certificate issued by BPJPH.
- The cost of halal certification is charged to Business Operators based on the business Operators criteria stipulated by law. In order to expedite the implementation of JPH, this Law facilitate micro and small businesses by exempting the cost of halal certification for micro businesses and waivers for small businesses.
- In order to assure the implementation and organization of JPH, the government perform control of Products circulating in the community, both Products that have not obtained Halal Certificate and those that have obtained Halal Certificate, and perform socialization regarding JPH to the public.
- To assure law enforcement for violation of this Law, administrative and criminal sanctions are established.
