What is JAKIM?
JAKIM (Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia, the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia) is Malaysia's official Halal certification authority. Malaysia's Halal framework is mature and rigorous, and the JAKIM certificate is widely recognized across ASEAN, the Middle East, and global Halal consumer markets — a qualification many international buyers specifically request.
SINOQUAL's JAKIM service
SINOQUAL handles the full process — material review, formula comparison, system documentation, and filing — and coordinates audit scheduling with local resources, helping China's exporters open the Malaysian and ASEAN Halal consumer markets.
The process
1. Free assessment: confirm product category, target market, and ingredients, and produce a plan. 2. Submit application materials and initial review. 3. Material and formula compliance review, locking down ingredients to replace or substantiate. 4. System documentation and filing. 5. On-site audit (factory), with our team accompanying and interpreting. 6. Rectification. 7. The body reviews and issues the Halal certificate.
