Answers before you apply

Timelines depend on scope, number of sites, and readiness of your documentation. The lifecycle runs through eight defined stages, from application to certificate issuance. Your certification officer confirms indicative dates once the application review in Stage 2 is complete.

Recognition varies by destination market and product category. Tell us your target market and we'll confirm what applies before you ship.

Stage 1 is a desk review of your Halal management system, ingredient declarations, supplier certificates, and process flow. Stage 2 is an on-site audit of production, segregation, storage, cleaning validation, and Shariah compliance in practice.

An independent certification committee reviews the evidence and makes the decision. It is deliberately separate from the audit team, preserving impartiality in line with certification-body good practice.

Your certificate is published to the TGHA Halal Data Bank with its defined scope and validity. Scheduled surveillance audits and automated renewal monitoring then keep the certification continuously valid.

It is assessed case by case. Our application captures whether Halal and non-Halal run on the same line, what is outsourced, and where non-Halal sources enter the process. Segregation and cleaning validation are then reviewed in detail during the audit.

Fees depend on scope, site count, product complexity, and travel. Submit the pre-application enquiry and our team will prepare a costed proposal. Information you provide is treated as confidential and used only for price estimation.
