Master the Halal Assurance System (HAS) for Unshakable Halal Integrity

In today’s global halal economy, consumer trust is paramount. The Halal Assurance System (HAS) is the critical backbone for any business seeking to achieve and maintain JAKIM halal certification (MS 1500:2019). It is far more than a checklist; it is a proactive, documented management system designed to ensure halal compliance at every single point of your operation.

This comprehensive system integrates controls over raw materials, production processes, personnel, storage, logistics, and documentation. Its core purpose is to prevent, detect, and manage any potential Halal Hazard – any event that could compromise the halal status of your product. For companies in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, logistics, and retail, implementing a robust HAS is not optional; it is the fundamental requirement for halal certification and market access.

A robust Halal Assurance System doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It builds upon a foundation of company-wide Halal Awareness and integrates seamlessly with prerequisite programs like GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice). For organizations seeking a complete compliance framework, mastering the HAS is the essential step before establishing a detailed or conducting effective Halal Internal Audits.

Even though this training is important to the IHC members, attending this program does replace the compulsory Halal Competency Training as required by Halal guidelines.

The Importance of This Training

Why is specialized HAS training non-negotiable?

• Certification Requirement: JAKIM auditors expect your Internal Halal Committee and key personnel to be competently trained in HAS principles. This training provides documented proof of competency.

• Risk Mitigation: A single halal compliance failure can lead to costly recalls, certificate suspension, and irreversible brand damage. This course teaches you how to systematically identify and eliminate risks.

• Operational Excellence: A well-run HAS streamlines processes, improves supply chain management, and enhances overall quality assurance.

• Global Competitiveness: With a certified and competent team, you can confidently explore lucrative halal markets worldwide.
