Prepare the application, understand the fees by industry size and self-audit before applying for certification.

Last reviewed 5 November 2026

ManaHalal note: Educational material for SME operators in Malaysia; not a verification, an application decision or advice that overrides JAKIM/JAIN/MAIN (the federal Islamic development department and the state Islamic religious departments and councils). Check the certificate scope against the holder, scheme type, factory address, product and validity period. Amendments after 5 November 2026 need to be checked before publishing or applying.

Once the company, manufacturer, formula, label and documentation have been identified, the application process can then be planned better. The 90-day plan below is an internal preparation plan, not JAKIM's official approval period.

Official fees: the domestic contract manufacturing/OEM scheme

The domestic application processing fee is usually RM20, while the certification fee for the OEM scheme depends on the annual turnover category (rates are per year):

Category Annual turnover Certification fee
Micro Below RM300,000 RM100/year
Small RM300,000 to below RM15 million RM400/year
Medium RM15 million to RM50 million RM700/year
Large Over RM50 million RM1,000/year

These rates are based on Schedule 1, Procedure 8 of the MPPHM (Manual Prosedur Pensijilan Halal Malaysia, the Malaysia Halal Certification Procedure Manual) 2020 (2026 Amendment). Actual costs also include preparation audits, sampling/testing if directed, factory improvements and documentation; the OEM fee does not automatically cover the separate product application fee. Overseas applicants with manufacturing in Malaysia are subject to a different fee structure (Schedule 2).

Application and review flow

MYeHALAL application flow to decisionCheck the scope, because an OEM application and a product certificate are different, register or update the details in MYeHALAL, and prepare the certificate, licences, OEM agreement, ingredients, products and MHMS. If the documents are not complete, fix them and resubmit. If complete, pay the fee and arrange the site audit. If there is non-compliance, submit a plan and evidence of the correction. Then further review or the panel: if approved, the SPHM is issued according to the scope; if not, refer to the decision.NoYesYesNoneYesNo

Cost mistakes

Do not add RM100 + RM20 and treat that as the cost of one brand for all SKUs. Fees depend on the scheme, industry category, validity period, product application and actual circumstances. Get the calculation from the notice or the processing authority.
