About CoPM
What is CoPM ?
The Code of Good Milling Practice (CoPM), developed by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board in collaboration with industry stakeholders, establishes a comprehensive framework of best practices for the production and management of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) and Palm Kernel (PK).
It provides clear guidelines covering processing, handling, storage, transportation, and maintenance of processing facilities and equipment.
The Code supports sustainability, product integrity, and operational excellence, and should be applied alongside all relevant legislation, regulations, and industry standards. Compliance with CoPM reinforces good industry practice without overriding statutory obligations.

Ya. Minyak sawit mentah (CPO) yang dihasikan diklasifikasikan sebagai makanan oleh KKM. Oleh itu, kilang kelapa sawit telah dikategorikan sebagai premis dan tertakluk di bawah Akta Makanan 1983.
Melalui Akta Makanan 1983 dan Peraturan-Peraturan Kebersihan Makanan 2009, semua premis pengilangan makanan diwajibkan melaksanakan Program Jaminan Keselamatan Makanan (PJKM) termasuk kilang kelapa sawit. Matlamat utama program ini adalah untuk memastikan makanan yang diproses, disimpan, diangkut dan dipasarkan kepada pengguna sentiasa bersih, selamat dan tidak memudaratkan kesihatan. Oleh itu, pengaktifan semula Pensijilan CoPM adalah untuk membantu kilang kelapa sawit mematuhi keperluan perundangan keselamatan makanan tersebut.
❌ Tidak. Pelaksanaan Pensijilan CoPM adalah secara sukarela (voluntary) dan hanya menjadi salah satu pilihan pensijilan bagi kilang kelapa sawit mematuhi Program Jaminan Keselamatan Makanan (PJKM) di bawah Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM).
✔ Ya. Pensijilan CoPM diiktiraf oleh Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) setara dengan Program Jaminan Keselamatan Makanan (PJKM) berdasarkan keperluan perundangan di bawah Peraturan-Peraturan Kebersihan Makanan 2009 dan Akta Makanan 1983.
Selain Pensijilan CoPM, pensijilan di bawah Program Jaminan Keselamatan Makanan (PJKM) yang diiktiraf ialah Analisis Bahaya dan Titik Kawalan Kritikal (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points – HACCP), Amalan Pengilangan Baik (Good Manufacturing Practice – GMP) dan Makanan Selamat Tanggungjawab Industri (MeSTI).
Pensijilan CoPM lebih sesuai kerana ianya dibangunkan khusus untuk industri kelapa sawit dengan keperluan yang lebih relevan kepada operasi kilang kelapa sawit. Pensijilan HACCP, GMP dan MeSTI tidak khusus kepada kilang kelapa sawit.
Pelaksanaan Pensijilan CoPM telah mematuhi Program Jaminan Keselamatan Makanan (PJKM) dan pihak kilang kelapa sawit boleh mendapatkan Pensijilan MeSTI secara fast-track dengan mengemukakan sijil CoPM kepada pihak Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) sewaktu membuat permohonan Pensijilan MeSTI.
