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 7 schemes are as follows:
- Food / Beverage / Food Supplement

- Consumer Goods
- Cosmetics and Personal Care
- Slaughterhouse
- Pharmaceutical Industry
- Logistics
