말레이시아 JAKIM 할랄인증, 신청 전에 반드시 거쳐야 할 사전심사가 있다— 팀에잇파트너스, 할랄 사전심사 플랫폼 'e-ustaz' 글로벌 정식 출시
최종 수정일: 6월 24일
말레이시아 할랄 시장 진출을 준비하는 한국 기업이라면, 'JAKIM 할랄인증'이라는 이름을 한 번쯤 들어봤을 것이다. 하지만 실제로 인증을 시작하려는 순간, 대부분의 기업은 같은 벽 앞에 서게 된다. 어디서부터 시작해야 하는가. 우리 제품이 인증을 받을 수 있는 제품인가.
팀에잇파트너스(Team8 Partners)는 이 질문에 답하는 전용 플랫폼, 'e-ustaz' 를 2026년 5월 한국·말레이시아·일본·중국에서 동시 정식 출시했다.
■ 할랄인증 실패의 가장 흔한 원인 — 성분 비적합
JAKIM 할랄인증은 말레이시아 정부가 공인하는 글로벌 최고 수준의 할랄 인증이다. 그러나 인증 신청 후 탈락하는 한국 기업의 상당수는 '성분 비적합' 문제를 사전에 인지하지 못한 채 수천만 원의 비용을 먼저 투입한다. e-ustaz는 이 리스크를 인증 신청 이전 단계에서 차단하기 위해 설계되었다.
■ 24시간 내 인증 통과 가능성 수치로 확인
e-ustaz는 제품의 전 성분을 말레이시아 할랄 기준(MS1500:2019, MPPHM 2020)에 대조 분석하여, 인증 통과 가능성(Pass Probability) 을 수치화한 리포트를 24시간 내에 제공한다. 분석 결과는 영어·bahasa Melayu·한국어·중국어·일본어 5개 언어의 PDF 리포트로 동시 발행된다. 단순 위험 지적에 그치지 않고, 비적합 성분에 대한 할랄 대체 원료와 공급업체 정보, 필요 서류까지 함께 제시한다.
■ 서비스 구성 및 비용
구분 | 내용 | 비용 |
Tier 1 | 성분표 기반 적합성 분석 | USD 500 / 제품 |
Tier 2 | 성분표 + COA·할랄증명서 종합 분석 | USD 500 / 제품 |
사전심사 결과는 이후 정식 인증 프로젝트에 그대로 연계되어, 중복 비용 없이 인증 절차로 전환된다.

Team8 Partners Launches 'e-ustaz' Globally as a Dedicated Halal Pre-Screening Platform
Team8 Partners, a Korean cross-border business development firm, has officially launched its proprietary halal pre-screening service under the independent brand 'e-ustaz'. The platform went live simultaneously across Korea, Malaysia, Japan, and China through a network of exclusive regional agency partners — a move that signals not merely a service expansion, but a structural shift in how brands worldwide approach halal certification. With support in five languages and operations anchored by locally embedded partners in each market, e-ustaz enters the global halal ecosystem with both reach and precision.
■ The Valley of Death Before Certification
The global halal market is projected to surpass USD 5 trillion by 2030 — yet the path to entry remains one of the most underserved pain points in international trade. Obtaining JAKIM certification, Malaysia's gold-standard halal authority, demands months of preparation and investments that can run into the tens of thousands of dollars. Despite this, failure rates driven by ingredient non-compliance remain stubbornly high. Brands without in-house halal expertise have no reliable way to identify which ingredients are non-compliant, which documents are missing, or whether their product has any realistic chance of passing — before they commit their budget. e-ustaz was built specifically to close this gap.
■ Pass Probability. In 24 Hours. In Writing.
e-ustaz screens every ingredient against Malaysia's MS1500:2019 and MPPHM Domestik 2020 standards and delivers a quantified Pass Probability score within 24 hours. Team8 Partners maintains a direct channel to real-time standard updates — a level of accuracy that generic consulting simply cannot replicate. The platform automatically applies the correct Madhhab interpretation — Shafi'i, Hanbali, or Hanafi — based on the target market, and every report is validated by qualified Ustaz scholars with master's-level Shariah credentials and over a decade of field experience. Reports are delivered as executive-grade PDFs in all five languages simultaneously: English, Bahasa Melayu, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese.
■ Not Just Risk — A Roadmap Forward
Where most screening tools stop at flagging problems, e-ustaz goes further. Every non-compliant ingredient is paired with certified halal alternatives — including supplier names, required documentation, and grade improvement simulations. The platform applies a strict Precautionary Principle: when evidence is insufficient, an ingredient is flagged, never passed — eliminating the risk of false-positive clearances. Service is structured across two tiers: Tier 1 (ingredient list analysis) and Tier 2 (ingredient list plus COA reports and halal certificates), both priced transparently at USD 500 per product. Screening results feed directly into the full certification project, eliminating redundant work across the process. A Korean health supplement brand screened five SKUs, fast-tracked two to certification, entered the Malaysian market months ahead of schedule, and reduced total certification costs by over 60%.
■ Four Markets. One Standard. Local Precision.
The global rollout is structured through exclusive regional agency partnerships in each market. In Korea, Team8 Partners operates the service directly, supporting K-beauty, food, health supplement, and lifestyle brands preparing for JAKIM and broader halal market entry. The architecture ensures global consistency in quality while enabling genuine localization — a deliberate design that distinguishes e-ustaz from platform-only alternatives.
■ Infrastructure for the Entire Halal Ecosystem
e-ustaz does not only benefit the brands seeking certification. By handling foundational ingredient diagnostics upstream, the platform relieves certification bodies and Ustaz scholars of repetitive preliminary review work — allowing them to concentrate on higher-order judgments. In this sense, e-ustaz functions as shared infrastructure that raises the accuracy and efficiency of halal certification at a systemic level. "Halal certification is an area where even getting started requires expert knowledge," said a representative of Team8 Partners. "Whether a brand is entering the halal market for the first time or recovering from a previous rejection, e-ustaz is designed to get them to JAKIM certification — faster, safer, and without unnecessary trial and error."
