About HVN
Halal Vietnam Company Limited (HVN) is an independent halal certification body established in 2010, headquartered in Trau Quy, Gia Lam, Hanoi, with a branch office in the Phu Nhuan District of Ho Chi Minh City. Imam Mieu Abbas serves as president and chairs the company’s Shariah department. HVN positions itself as an inspection, assessment, and certification center for Vietnamese products exported to Muslim majority markets, and it also runs halal training courses and an online certificate lookup service.
The company certifies food and beverage processing, food ingredients, restaurants and hotels, slaughtering operations, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, functional foods, animal feed, and halal tourism services. Its certification programs are matched to destination markets: assessments reference the Malaysian standard MS 1500:2019, the Gulf standard UAE.S 2055-1:2015, and Indonesia’s HAS 23000, applied within ISO/IEC 17065 and ISO/IEC 17021-1 conformity assessment frameworks. The process runs from application and ingredient documentation review through on-site auditing, a certification board decision with correction of nonconformities before approval, and continuing surveillance that can include unannounced audits.
According to the company’s announcement, its JAKIM recognition covers food, beverages, and food ingredients, food premises including hotels and restaurants, and slaughterhouses. Beyond Malaysia, HVN reports recognition from BPJPH of Indonesia and CICOT of Thailand, works with the GCC Accreditation Center for the Gulf market scheme, and has been an associate member of the World Halal Council since November 2019, holding membership certificate number 061 in that network.
