BPOM Registration — Regulatory Compliance for the Indonesian Market
BPOM Registration refers to product approval and regulatory compliance requirements administered by BPOM (Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan), the National Agency of Drug and Food Control of Indonesia. BPOM is the official authority responsible for regulating the safety, quality, and labeling of products distributed in the Indonesian market.
Products subject to BPOM control must be registered and approved before they can be legally imported, distributed, or sold in Indonesia.
Regulatory Authority Overview
BPOM operates under the Indonesian government and oversees regulatory compliance for:
Food and beverage products
Dietary supplements and health foods
Cosmetics and personal care products
Traditional medicines and herbal products
Pharmaceuticals and certain medical-related products
BPOM registration is mandatory and forms a critical part of Indonesia’s market access framework.
Products Requiring BPOM Registration
BPOM approval is typically required for:
Packaged food and beverages (including imported products)
Functional foods and nutritional supplements
Skincare, cosmetics, and personal care products
Herbal products and traditional medicines
Certain health-related consumer products
Each product category follows a specific regulatory pathway with defined technical, documentation, and labeling requirements.
BPOM Registration Process Overview
A standard BPOM registration project generally includes the following steps:
1) Product Classification and Regulatory Assessment
Initial evaluation to confirm product category, applicable regulations, and registration pathway, including:
Product formulation and intended use
Ingredient compliance and restrictions
Product claims and positioning
Import and distribution model
2) Technical Documentation Preparation
Preparation and review of required documentation, which may include:
Product formulation and ingredient specifications
Safety and quality supporting data
Manufacturing information and GMP-related documents
Product labels and packaging review (Bahasa Indonesia)
3) Submission and Regulatory Review
Submission of registration materials through the BPOM system, followed by:
Administrative review
Technical evaluation by BPOM
Requests for clarification or supplemental information (if applicable)
4) Approval and Product Listing
Upon successful review, BPOM issues an approval number allowing the product to be legally marketed in Indonesia. The approval is product- and brand-specific and subject to validity and post-market requirements.
Key Compliance Considerations
All mandatory labeling must be in Bahasa Indonesia
Product claims must comply with BPOM advertising and promotion rules
Formula changes, labeling updates, or brand changes may require variation filing
Post-market surveillance and compliance obligations apply after approval
Proper regulatory planning helps reduce delays and avoid rejection during review.
Deliverables
Typical BPOM registration deliverables include:
BPOM approval number and registration confirmation
Regulatory submission records
Label and claim compliance review documentation
Ongoing regulatory support (if required)
These deliverables support import clearance, distributor onboarding, and market launch activities in Indonesia.
Why BPOM Compliance Matters
Non-compliant products may face:
Import rejection or customs delays
Market withdrawal or product recall
Administrative penalties and enforcement actions
Distributor or retailer refusal
BPOM registration is essential to protect brand reputation and ensure sustainable market access in Indonesia.

BPOM Registration — Technical Compliance & Project Implementation
BPOM Registration is a mandatory regulatory approval process administered by BPOM (Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan), the National Agency of Drug and Food Control of Indonesia. It is required for products subject to food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and health-related regulations before they can be legally imported, distributed, or sold in Indonesia.
Our BPOM service is delivered through a structured, project-based compliance model, focusing on regulatory accuracy, document traceability, and efficient approval timelines.
Regulatory Objective
The objective of BPOM registration is to verify that regulated products meet Indonesian requirements for:
Product safety and quality
Ingredient compliance and restrictions
Manufacturing and sourcing control
Labeling, claims, and consumer information
Post-market regulatory accountability
Each BPOM project is executed based on product category, formulation, and intended market positioning.
Applicable Product Categories
BPOM registration typically applies to the following categories:
Food and beverage products
Dietary supplements and health foods
Cosmetics and personal care products
Traditional medicines and herbal products
Pharmaceuticals and selected health-related products
Each category follows a defined regulatory pathway with specific documentation and technical review requirements.
BPOM Project Implementation Workflow
1) Product Classification and Regulatory Pathway Definition
We conduct an initial technical assessment to confirm:
Product category and sub-classification
Applicable BPOM regulations and guidelines
Registration route (imported vs. locally manufactured)
Local responsible entity and distribution model
Output: confirmed regulatory pathway and project scope.
2) Ingredient and Formula Compliance Review
A detailed review of product composition is performed to verify:
Compliance with BPOM positive and negative ingredient lists
Concentration limits and usage restrictions
Additives, preservatives, colorants, and active substances
Consistency with product positioning and claims
Non-compliant elements are identified early to support reformulation or adjustment.
3) Technical Documentation Preparation
Based on product category, required documentation may include:
Product formulation and specifications
Safety assessment or supporting data
Manufacturing process and GMP-related information
Certificates of analysis and supplier declarations
Product labels, instructions, and claims (Bahasa Indonesia)
All documents are reviewed for regulatory consistency and completeness prior to submission.
4) Submission and Regulatory Review Management
Registration dossiers are submitted through the BPOM system and managed through:
Administrative completeness checks
Technical evaluation by BPOM reviewers
Response to deficiency letters or clarification requests
Ongoing communication to support review progression
Our team tracks review status and coordinates responses to minimize delays.
5) Approval, Listing, and Post-Approval Support
Upon approval, BPOM issues a product registration number that authorizes market distribution. Post-approval support may include:
Registration confirmation and record management
Change management for formulation, labeling, or branding updates
Renewal and variation filing support
Post-market compliance and audit readiness guidance
Project Inputs Required
To initiate a BPOM registration project, clients typically provide:
Product name, category, and intended use
Complete ingredient list and formulation details
Manufacturing site information
Draft labels and packaging artwork
Market and distribution plan for Indonesia
Additional requirements may apply depending on product type and regulatory pathway.
Typical Project Timelines
BPOM registration timelines vary depending on product category, data readiness, and regulatory review workload. A structured implementation plan helps manage expectations and reduce avoidable delays.
Why a Structured BPOM Compliance Program Matters
A technically aligned BPOM project helps ensure:
Accurate product classification and scope definition
Early identification of regulatory risks
Efficient regulatory communication and response
Defensible compliance records for audits and inspections
This approach supports sustainable market access and long-term regulatory stability in Indonesia.
