The Halal Committee of the Muslim Spiritual Directorate of the Republic of Tatarstan (Ministry of Muslims of the Republic of Tatarstan) is undergoing accreditation by the BPJPH Agency (Indonesia).

Last week, an official delegation from the Republic of Indonesia visited the Halal Standards Committee of the Muslim Spiritual Directorate of the Republic of Tatarstan (Ministry of Muslims of the Republic of Tatarstan) – representatives of the BPJPH (Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Produk Halal) – the Halal Product Assurance Agency under the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia.

The BPJPH is responsible for the development and implementation of the national halal certification system, the accreditation of foreign halal bodies, the registration of auditors, and the oversight of compliance with halal requirements at all stages of production and product distribution.

The Indonesian delegation’s visit follows on from the agreements reached by the Committee’s Chairman, Abbyas Hazrat Shlyaposhnikov, during his working visit to Southeast Asia.

During the visit, the BPJPH launched the accreditation process for the Halal Standards Committee of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Republic of Tatarstan (SAM RT). This process included on-site inspections, audits of internal processes, assessment of quality management systems, and monitoring of the operations of facilities certified by the Halal Standards Committee of the SAM RT.

BPJPH representatives highly praised the Committee’s organization, the transparency of procedures, the level of professionalism of its staff, and the compliance of the certification system with international requirements.

Accreditation by one of the largest and most reputable global halal certification centers will be an important step in strengthening international cooperation, global recognition of the SAM RT’s halal standards, and expanding interaction with Muslim countries, particularly in Southeast Asia.
