What is Halal Certification and its requirements?

According to JAKIM, Halal Certification is an official form that refers to the Halal standardization of products and/or services in accordance with the Malaysian Halal Certification Scheme issued by the competent authority. In Malaysia, the only Halal certification that can be recognized is the certification issued by JAKIM (Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia).

The Malaysian Halal Certification Program is divided into nine schemes, and companies or manufacturers can choose the plan they want to use based on the type of product or service they have.

The 7 schemes are as follows:

  1. Food / Beverage / Food Supplement
  2. Food Premise / Hotel
  3. Consumer Goods
  4. Cosmetics and Personal Care
  5. Slaughterhouse
  6. Pharmaceutical Industry
  7. Logistics
  8. OEM
  9. Medical Devices

The word "Halal" comes from the Arabic language, "halla, yahillu, hillan, waHalalan", which means that Shariah law allows or permits. According to the 2011 and 2012 Trade Description (Halal Definition) Order, the Halal is defined as follows:
