Halal Certification and Endorsement Unit — Brunei Ministry of Religious Affairs

The Halal Certification and Endorsement Unit (KHEU), operating under the Brunei Darussalam Ministry of Religious Affairs (MORA), is the government body responsible for halal certification in Brunei Darussalam. Established in 2017 as a unified certification unit, KHEU issues the official Brunei Halal Certificate for food products, food-service establishments, and consumer goods sold in or exported from Brunei. Brunei is a small but high-income Islamic sultanate that applies a strict, government-backed halal framework across its domestic market. KHEU certification is recognised by JAKIM (Malaysia), MUIS (Singapore), and GCC import authorities, providing Brunei-based manufacturers with credible access to regional and Middle Eastern halal markets. KHEU operates under Brunei's MUIB (Majlis Ugama Islam Brunei) religious oversight framework, ensuring its certification decisions are grounded in Islamic jurisprudence. For food businesses operating in Brunei, KHEU certification is mandatory for halal claims and essential for market access.
