What is Halal Accreditation?
As you know that the figures of the trade between OIC countries and NON-OIC is
increasing every year. This trade represents a large share of the gross domestic
product of most countries. And this is lead for need of concrete conformity
assessment systems to cover such trade and providing consumer rights protection,
quality and safety of the goods and trade.
And here, accreditation comes on the top of the confidence in the international trade.
As, accreditation determines the technical competence, reliability and integrity of
conformity assessment bodies.
CABs are organizations that check conformity and compliance with standards and
regulations through testing, verification, inspection and calibration.
Accreditation works through a process of transparent and impartial evaluation of
these organizations against internationally recognized standards and other
requirements.
For our Halal accreditation it is of course covering the same in addition to the SHAR’A
specifications and requirements .
Halal Accreditation (HA) is a third-party attestation related to all Halal conformity
Assessment Bodies (HCABs) conveying formal demonstration of their competences to
carry out specific Halal conformity assessment tasks.
Such specific tasks may include but not limited to:
� Halal food testing laboratories
� Halal Inspection Bodies: (import and export, Inspection services
companies, Food control authorities),
� Halal Certification (certification companies, Islamic societies).
