APACMed is pleased to submit comments in response to the Draft Decree of The Ministry of Religious Affairs of Indonesia regarding Types of Products and Consumer Goods Products Mandatory to be Halal Certified notified to WTO on July 2, 2021.
The draft stipulates the scope of products subject to mandatory halal certification, including a very large number of medical devices. APACMed believes that the scope of coverage in the draft is overly broad. While it is listed as covering 17 categories, with 68 sub-categories, it covers nearly 3,000 types of products based on Indonesian Ministry of Health data.
