What does our certification process look like?
After the application has been submitted by the contact, it is checked by our office in Osnabrück, namely whether the company fulfils the criteria of the halal guidelines. After this, in the positive case, a certification offer is sent to the customer.
If interested, the confidentiality agreement is then concluded, after which the documents, such as those on ingredients and process procedures, are examined.
Subsequently, an audit is carried out and evaluated on site. In the positive case, the halal certificate is issued; in the negative case, we endeavour to take corrective measures together and enter them so that the certificate can be guaranteed in the end.
