## Scope of this guide

Includes jurisdiction-specific archive records. Current legal effect, labelling provisions and product exceptions require separate verification.

PRODUCT REVIEW IN PRACTICE

## Brunei Darussalam: product dossier priorities

For Brunei, treat Malay or English consumer information and the documentary scope of any halal claim as separate checks. A dossier prepared for Malaysia is not assumed to cover Brunei sales. Record the match between the label logo, product code and certificate product list.

## What do the selected sources cover?

Brunei’s records distinguish the Halal Certificate and Halal Label Order, 2005 from Chapter 236 concerning the food authority. Packaging bearing a halal mark raises a separate question about the mark’s basis and certification scope. An authority’s establishing instrument does not itself explain all halal-label conditions.

## Jurisdiction-specific legislation records

Archive dates do not confirm current legal effect. Titles retain their source language; this selection is not exhaustive.

<table><thead><tr><th scope="col">Instrument / source</th><th scope="col">Record date and type</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><th scope="row"><a href="https://leap.unep.org/en/countries/bn/national-legislation/halal-certificate-and-halal-label-order-2005">Halal Certificate and Halal Label Order, 2005.</a></th><td>2005-05-21<br>Regulation</td></tr><tr><th scope="row"><a href="https://leap.unep.org/en/countries/bn/national-legislation/chapter-236-brunei-darussalam-food-authority-s452020-revised">Chapter 236 - Brunei Darussalam Food Authority (S45/2020) - Revised Edition 2022.</a></th><td>Date not stated<br>Legislation</td></tr></tbody></table>

## How is the label review dossier prepared?

Collect artwork, recipe, allergen evidence and importer details for the same product version. Our working method explains the shared document-preparation and reporting steps.

**Packaging, recipe and evidence in one review dossier.**Knowing which product version a finding concerns matters as much as the correction itself. Maintain file and revision tracking throughout the assignment.

## Sources and research method

Sources are selected research references. An archive record does not confirm current legal effect; national adoption of Codex texts requires separate verification.
