BPOM registration is a mandatory requirement for legally launching products on the Indonesian market. It confirms that the product is safe, complies with standards, and can be officially sold, imported, and distributed.

It is important to understand: BPOM is one of the most complex procedures in Indonesia.
It will require a full examination of the product, its composition, production, logistics, and storage.

Who needs BPOM registration:

• Food and beverage manufacturers
• Importers
• Cosmetics and personal care brands
• Manufacturers of dietary supplements and additives

If a product's shelf life is less than 6 days, BPOM registration is usually not required. However, for imported goods, registration is almost always mandatory. Without it, it is impossible to officially import products and bring them to market.

Why the process is complex:
• The entire chain is checked: from production to final sale
• Each ingredient must be confirmed and approved
• Compliance with local standards and regulations is required
• Revisions and additional documents are often requested
• Any error rolls the process back

Processing times:
• On average from 6 to 7 months
• In practice, the process can take up to 16 months

The term depends on:
• product category
• complexity of composition
• country of manufacture
• availability of laboratory tests
• readiness of documents
• speed of responses to BPOM requests

Approximate process roadmap:

Stage 1. Preliminary audit
• Analysis of product and composition
• Verification of registration possibility
• Identification of risks and prohibited components

Stage 2. Company registration in the BPOM system

• Appointment of a responsible person (PJT)
• Verification of company licenses and permits

Stage 3. Infrastructure preparation

• Compliance with sanitary standards
• Availability of a product accounting and traceability system
• Preparation for possible inspections

Stage 4. Preparation of product documents
• Product composition and formula
• Manufacturer data
• Certificates (e.g., GMP, Free Sale Certificate)
• Technical specifications
• Development of labeling in Indonesian

Stage 5. Laboratory analyses
• Conducting product safety tests
• Verification of composition and compliance with stated characteristics

Stage 6. Product registration in the BPOM system
• Submission of an application for each product separately

Stage 7. Examination and inspections
• Analysis of documents and composition
• Product safety assessment
• Requests for revisions or additional information
• Communication with the regulator

Stage 8. Inspections and audit
• Inspection of warehouses and storage conditions
• Verification of process compliance
• In some cases, involvement of inspectors and laboratories
• Confirmation of compliance with standards

Stage 9. Obtaining registration

• Opportunity for business scaling

What we do:
• Conduct a full audit before starting the process
• Check the composition and eliminate risks in advance
• Prepare all documents and labeling
• Register the company in the BPOM system
• Submit products and accompany the process
• Organize laboratory analyses
• Communicate with BPOM
• Respond to requests and finalize documents
• Lead the process to obtaining registration

Why it is important to entrust this to specialists:
BPOM is a complex system with many nuances that are not obvious without practical experience. Even with all the documents, the process can stall due to inconsistencies or formal errors.

Many companies do not achieve results due to constant revisions.

We are one of the few teams that undertakes registration and brings projects to fruition. We work with various product categories.
