With BPJPH, Saudi Arabia is working towards mutual recognition of halal certificates, focusing on unified procedures, standard specifications, and technical regulations for certification. This collaboration extends to knowledge sharing in training, research, and laboratory analysis, collectively enhancing certification standards.
The agreement with the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore shares these goals, emphasizing conformity assessment, standard specifications, and technical regulations for halal certificates. It also highlights mutual recognition of certificates for exported products and expertise exchange in halal product quality assurance.
These agreements underscore the commitment of all parties to strengthening cooperation and elevating halal product certification standards. This aligns with the Saudi Food and Drug Authority's (SFDA) and Saudi Arabia's National Transformation Program's efforts to facilitate import and export processes and enhance the global competitiveness of locally-produced halal products.
As global demand for halal products continues to rise, these partnerships can bolster Saudi Arabia's presence in the global halal market, ensuring consumers worldwide have trust in the quality and authenticity of halal products.
