Halal Certification in Singapore is voluntary. Businesses decide whether they want to apply for halal certification.

Should they proceed to apply, there will be a series of desktop and site audits to determine if the company is capable in maintaining and complying with MUIS halal conditions and requirements.

Inspections and checks will continuously take place post-certification. As a basic guideline, generally there are 3 types of requirements in the Halal application process:

Halal Requirements - All raw materials used must be Halal and substantiated with supporting documents;

Staffing Requirements - There must be a minimum of 2 or 3 Muslim staff employed in each premises applied for Halal certification;

System Requirements - The applicant must comply with the 10 principles of the Singapore Muis Halal Quality Management System.
