WORLD HALAL AUTHORITY-WHA, the Italian Halal Certification Authority, has got from 2016 a mutual recognition with its Singapore counterpart. A recognition that consolidates the international character of the Halal Certificate issued by WHA and which opens up to its users greater boundaries for the export of Made in Italy.

The Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS), also known as the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore, was established as a statutory body in 1968.

The Council of MUIS is the general decisional-maker body and is also responsible for the formulation of policies and operational plans.

MUIS is responsible for the promotion of religious, social, educational, economic and cultural activities in accordance with the principles and traditions of Islam as enshrined in the Holy Quran and Sunnah.

WORLD HALAL AUTHORITY- WHA is in continuous collaboration with the Malaysian Accreditation Authority Halal; JAKIM. In fact, WHA has received the visit of some representatives of the Malaysian Body in its offices, an occasion taken by WHA with great enthusiasm to improve the quality of its services.

Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) is the agency responsible for Islamic affairs in Malaysia including Halal certification.

JAKIM plays a very important role in protecting Muslim consumers in Malaysia and it has always been JAKIM's responsibility to ensure that Halal products comply with Shariah.

 Based on these reasons, however, JAKIM undertakes to have mutual recognition with reliable and credible Halal Authorities, such as INTERNATIONAL JAKIM representatives, to monitor / verify the halal status of such raw materials and products with responsibility and integrity.

The Halal certificate issued by WORLD HALAL AUTHORITY-WHA, allows Italian companies, which aim to export Halal products, to also reach the Philippines. It takes place through a mutual recognition between WHA and HALAL PHILIPPINES.

The exporting companies, which in the past exported their products without specific requirements, must from that date acquire a Halal certificate but not only, it must be from an entity recognized by Esma.

The World Halal Food Council (WHFC) was born out of an idea of the Assessment Institute for Food, Drugs and Cosmetics.  As there are many Halal organizations in the world, the Indonesian Council of Ulama (LPPOM MUI) wanted to bring these organizations together in order to know each other and work together (silaturahhim).  With this in mind the LPPOM MUI, in a gathering in the The Hilton Hotel in 1999, founded the World Halal Food Council (WHFC).

Historically, politically and culturally Muslims have been an integral part of Thailand for centuries. Islam is not only the second largest religion in the kingdom but also enjoys the royal and official patronage. The Thai law provides for freedom of religion, and the Royal Thai Government (RTG) generally respects this right in practice. Thai Constitution promotes “equality of rights and liberties” of the people, as seen in some following sections Section 5. The Thai people, irrespective of their origins, sexes or religions, shall enjoy equal protection under this Constitution.
