Step-by-Step Halal Certification Process

Here’s a breakdown of the halal certification process, tailored to be straightforward, transparent, and efficient for your business.

Step 1: Application for Halal Certification

Start your journey by submitting an online application form. This includes providing details about your business and the products requiring certification.

• What you’ll need: To begin, share your contact details and tell us about your company, including number of ingredients, high-level process and target export markets. This allows us to provide you with a tailored quote for your business.
• Why it matters: Providing these details helps us create an accurate quote that matches your specific business needs and halal certification requirements.

Step 2: Application Review

Once you’ve accepted the quote, we’ll request detailed documentation about your ingredients and manufacturing processes. Our experts will then review these to ensure everything aligns with halal requirements, including evaluating your raw materials, production methods, and supply chain integrity.

• What we do: Analyse ingredient lists, assess processes and ensure adherence to halal standards.
• Why it matters: This step eliminates potential compliance issues before the site audit, saving time and ensuring a smoother process.

Step 3: Site Audit

An on-site inspection is conducted to verify that your facilities, equipment, and production practices meet halal compliance standards. Our qualified auditors work closely with you to ensure all critical halal control points are addressed.

• What to expect: A review of your manufacturing site, from ingredient storage to processing and packaging areas.
• Why it matters: This step ensures your products are prepared in a contamination-free environment, maintaining halal integrity.

Step 4: Decision Committee

Your application and the findings from the site audit are presented to the HCE decision committee. This panel of experts evaluates your compliance and decides whether to grant halal certification.

• What happens here: The committee reviews all gathered information and audit results to make a fair and informed decision.
• Why it matters: This evaluation ensures that the certification meets the highest integrity and trust standards.

Step 5: Halal Certification

Once approved, your halal certificate and internationally recognised HCE Halal Logo will be issued. This certificate is a testament to your commitment to halal compliance and opens doors to global halal markets.

• What’s next: Display the halal logo on your products and packaging to build consumer trust and meet import/export requirements in halal-majority markets.
• Why it matters: Your halal certification demonstrates adherence to Halal standards, boosting your brand’s credibility and market appeal.
