F&B Owners: How the Panaxy PCT 01 Helps You Meet Halal’s New Mandatory Notice

In a significant update to the Malaysia Halal Verification Certificate (SPHM) guidelines, JAKIM has issued a mandatory notice for all food premises operating under the same brand. If your Central Kitchen is already Halal-certified, the clock is now ticking for every one of your individual outlets to follow suit.

For small branches or pop-up outlets, achieving this rapidly is critical to protecting your brand's overall Halal status. The Panaxy PCT 01 Counter Top Filter System provides the fastest and most reliable route to compliance.

The 1-Year Compliance Window: What You Need to Know

According to the latest JAKIM requirements, entrepreneurs must manage the Halal application for all premises under the same brand centrally.

• Deadline: Applications for all outlets must be submitted within one (1) year after the Central Kitchen is certified Halal.

• The Risk: Failure to comply within this period can lead to the rejection of your Central Kitchen’s SPHM renewal.

• Phased Planning: A phased application plan must be prepared to facilitate the certification of all premises.

The Halal Audit Shortcut with Panaxy PCT 01

The Panaxy PCT 01 is specifically engineered to meet the rigorous documentation and technical standards required by the Malaysian Halal Management System (MHMS) 2020.

1. Proven Technical Integrity

Every component of your water processing system is scrutinized during a Halal audit.

• Certified Cartridge: The PCT 01 utilizes an Activated Carbon Block filter cartridge that is fully certified, ensuring no "doubtful" ingredients are used in the filtration process.

• Global Safety Standards: The cartridge is tested and certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material safety.

• Halal Certified System: The entire unit is a JAKIM-recognized Sistem Penapis Air Kaunter, simplifying your Halal File (Fail Halal) preparation.

2. Internal Monitoring Made Simple

JAKIM now mandates periodic and scheduled internal Halal monitoring to ensure continuous compliance at all SPHM-certified premises.

• Maintenance-Free Design: The PCT 01 is designed to be high-quality and "basically maintenance-free," reducing the risk of technical non-compliance during surprise audits.

• Easy Monitoring: The "Rotate to Lock" system allows for quick, documented cartridge changes that your internal Halal committee can easily verify.

3. Strategic Capacity Management

• Outlet Optimization: With a capacity of 9,500L, the PCT 01 is perfectly sized for low-volume outlets or specialized beverage stations.

• High Flow Performance: A flow rate of 3.8L/M ensures that your food preparation and drink mixing remain efficient even during peak hours.

Expert Advice: Is Your Water System Audit-Ready?

While the PCT 01 is the gold standard for small-scale branches, JAKIM requires that your equipment matches your operational scale.

If your outlet’s water usage significantly exceeds 9,500L, your Halal auditor may flag the system as insufficient. Our team provides professional consultations to advise if a higher-capacity industrial system is required to ensure you pass your audit without delays.
