SIRIM QAS International — Halal Certification

SIRIM QAS International is Malaysia's national quality assurance and certification body, a subsidiary of SIRIM Berhad — a government-owned technology and standards organisation established in 1996 and operating under the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry. SIRIM QAS provides halal certification, testing, and inspection services for food manufacturers, cosmetics producers, pharmaceutical companies, and logistics operators. SIRIM's halal certification operates within the JAKIM-overseen Malaysian halal framework and is recognised by MUIS (Singapore), GCC import authorities, and BPJPH (Indonesia). As a semi-government body with deep roots in Malaysia's standards infrastructure, SIRIM QAS carries significant institutional credibility, particularly for manufacturers seeking certification from a body closely aligned with JAKIM's regulatory framework. SIRIM also provides halal laboratory testing services — including detection of porcine DNA and alcohol content — supporting manufacturers in demonstrating ingredient compliance as part of their halal certification process. SIRIM QAS is an IAF-accredited certification body.
