About HCS
Halal Certification Services (Chongqing) Co., Ltd. (HCS) is a halal certification body based in Banan District, Chongqing, China. The organisation describes itself as a technical standards evaluation body that helps Chinese manufacturers reach Muslim majority export markets, with services spanning food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, consumer goods, logistics, and catering.
Its published certification scope covers various foods, food additives, fruits and vegetables, packaging materials, coatings, livestock, poultry, and cosmetics. Beyond its Malaysian standing, HCS states that it holds accreditation from BPJPH in Indonesia, the GCC Accreditation Center for the Gulf states, HAK in Turkey, the SFDA and SASO in Saudi Arabia, the Qatar Ministry of Public Health, the UAE Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology, and the MMAA in Bahrain. The body also reports mutual recognition arrangements with MUIS in Singapore, CICOT in Thailand, HDIP in the Philippines, KHA in South Korea, MPJA in Japan, and HQC in Europe, and identifies itself as an active member of the World Halal Food Council.
One point worth noting for exporters is the name. A Swiss certifier called Halal Certification Services GmbH also holds Malaysian recognition, yet neither body’s website records any corporate link between the two, and the Swiss organisation lists offices only in Europe. Companies comparing certifiers should verify which entity they are dealing with before signing an audit agreement, since the accreditation portfolios of the two bodies differ.
Frequently asked questions
Is HCS recognised by JAKIM?
Yes. Halal Certification Services Chongqing (HCS) appears on JAKIM's official recognition list of international halal certification bodies, gazetted under Malaysia's Trade Descriptions (Certification and Marking of Halal) Order 2011, as at 30 January 2026.
What does JAKIM recognition mean for HCS?
JAKIM (Department of Islamic Development Malaysia) is widely regarded as the industry's most influential halal authority. Its recognition means halal certificates issued by HCS are accepted for products entering Malaysia, and it serves as a strong third-party credibility signal in the global halal trade.
Where is HCS based?
Halal Certification Services Chongqing (HCS) is based in China at No. 11 Community Nanquan Street Banan District Chongqing, Sichuan China.
Is HCS recognised outside Malaysia?
Yes. Besides JAKIM, Halal Certification Services Chongqing (HCS) appears on MUIS Singapore's Recognised Foreign Halal Certification Bodies list (valid to 2028-12-17), so its halal certificates are also accepted for the Singapore market. Recognition by two national authorities is a strong dual-market credibility signal for exporters.
Is HCS Chongqing part of Halal Certification Services in Switzerland?
The two bodies share a similar name, but neither organisation's website documents a connection. The Swiss body lists offices only in European countries, while the Chongqing company is registered in China as its own legal entity, so exporters should treat them as separate certifiers.
Which export markets can an HCS Chongqing certificate support?
The body states that its accreditations and mutual recognition arrangements cover Malaysia, Indonesia, the Gulf Cooperation Council states, Turkey, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, South Korea, and Japan, which makes it an option for Chinese manufacturers shipping to those markets. Buyers should still confirm the certificate is accepted for their specific product category.
