Sustainability of Halal Assurance Post-Certification: A Normative Legal Analysis of Indonesia’s Halal Governance Framework

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the legal framework governing the sustainability of halal assurance in Indonesia after certification issuance. It explores how post-certification halal assurance mechanisms ensure continuous halal integrity in production chains.

Method: The research applies a normative juridical approach with descriptive-analytical characteristics. It examines laws and regulations, including Law No. 33 of 2014 on Halal Product Assurance, Law No. 6 of 2023 (Job Creation), and Government Regulation No. 42 of 2024, supported by secondary data from academic literature and official documents from BPJPH, LPH, and MUI.

Result: Findings show that Indonesia’s halal regulatory framework provides a strong normative basis but faces challenges in implementation, particularly in post-certification monitoring, inter-institutional coordination, and business compliance.

Novelty: This study highlights the need for strengthening post-certification halal assurance through regular audits, supply chain transparency, and consistent enforcement to achieve sustainable halal governance in Indonesia.
