LPPOM MUI

What LPPOM MUI does

LPPOM MUI (Lembaga Pemeriksa Halal LPPOM MUI) is Indonesia's pioneer Halal Inspection Body (Lembaga Pemeriksa Halal, or LPH), established in 1989 and operating under the mandate of Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) to conduct halal product inspections that form the basis of MUI halal fatwas. Headquartered in Central Jakarta with primary operations in Bogor, the organization serves as one of more than 125 LPHs in Indonesia and serves a domestic Muslim consumer base of 242.7 million, while also positioning itself internationally via a Singapore representative office and participation in forums such as the 4th European Halal Congress 2026.

The organization delivers end-to-end halal certification and laboratory testing services. Core offerings include Pemeriksaan Kehalalan Produk (product halal inspection covering raw materials, processes, and the Halal Product Assurance System / SJPH) and Uji Laboratorium (ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accredited laboratory testing using rapid tests, ELISA, real-time PCR, and LC-MS/MS for porcine, ethylene glycol, and diethylene glycol detection). Supporting programs include Halal On 30 producer education, the Pengenalan Sertifikasi Halal introduction class held twice monthly, the annual Festival Syawal (since 2021) which has facilitated free halal certification for over 1,500 MSMEs, and the Gen Halal Championship student competition. A wholly-owned subsidiary, PT Global Hitrust Corp, runs the Hitrust Verify Calibration Laboratory (ISO/IEC 17025:2017, KAN LK-520-IDN) and offers commercial material testing services. LPPOM MUI Laboratory holds BPOM's highest-tier Maturity Level 4 External Laboratory recognition for pharmaceutical sample testing.

Revenue is generated through professional-services fees for halal certification (tariff set by BPJPH), accredited laboratory testing, calibration services, and paid education classes, with free facilitation selectively extended to MSMEs through community programs. The organization is structured as a nonprofit institutional body under MUI, with 101-250 employees, regional reach through offices including Semarang, and a nationwide field-sales and event-driven go-to-market motion that executed the Wajib Halal Oktober 2026 campaign simultaneously across 2,183 locations, aiming to capture demand ahead of the October 2026 mandatory certification deadline under Act No. 33 of 2014.
