Process Overview

Eight steps from application to ongoing compliance

A certification journey designed to be clear, structured, and efficient — from application through to ongoing surveillance.

The Certification Lifecycle

Eight stages, from enquiry to renewal

Every application follows the same controlled path, with an independent decision at the end.

  1. Client action
    01

    Application Submission

    Submit your product and site details through the online portal. Our team confirms receipt and assigns a certification officer.

  2. TGHA review
    02

    Application Review

    We assess scope, sites, product lines, and raw-material sources to confirm eligibility and prepare a costed proposal.

  3. Agreement
    03

    Certification Agreement

    Scope, obligations, and terms are formalised. Both parties sign, and the audit programme is scheduled.

  4. Stage 1 audit
    04

    Document Review — Stage 1

    Desk assessment of your Halal management system, ingredient declarations, supplier certificates, and process flow.

  5. Stage 2 audit
    05

    Certification Audit — Stage 2

    On-site audit of production, segregation, storage, cleaning validation, and Shariah compliance in practice.

  6. Impartial decision
    06

    Review & Final Decision

    An independent certification committee — not the audit team — reviews the evidence and makes the certification decision.

    Impartiality by design. The committee that decides is deliberately separate from the team that audited you — no auditor signs off on their own findings.

  7. Issued
    07

    Certificate Issuance

    Your Halal certificate is issued with defined scope and validity, and published to the TGHA Halal Data Bank.

  8. Ongoing
    08

    Surveillance & Renewal

    Scheduled surveillance audits and automated renewal monitoring keep your certification continuously valid.
