How the Certification Process Works
- Initial enquiry and scope review: We understand your products, facility, process, target markets and certification objective.
- Document review: Ingredients, raw materials, supplier declarations, process flow, labels and supporting records are reviewed.
- Audit or assessment: Where applicable, the manufacturing or service location is assessed against the relevant Halal requirements.
- Corrective actions: Any gaps identified during review or audit are addressed before certification.
- Certification decision: Certification is issued only after the applicable review and decision requirements are completed.
- Ongoing compliance: Renewal, surveillance or change-control requirements are handled according to the applicable certification scheme and scope.
Typical Documents Required
- Company registration and facility details
- Product list and intended certification scope
- Ingredient / raw-material list and supplier information
- Manufacturing or process-flow details
- Product labels, packaging and brand information
- Relevant licences, test reports and quality-system documents where applicable
- Target export market and buyer requirements, if the certification is for export
The exact document list depends on the product category, process and destination market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can alcohol-containing cosmetics be Halal certified?
The answer depends on the type, source, purpose and applicable Halal standard. It requires product-specific review.
Do fragrance ingredients need review?
Yes. Fragrance compositions and carriers may require supporting information from suppliers.
Can one facility certify many cosmetic products?
Potentially, when the products and processes fall within the approved scope and evidence is complete.
Is vegan the same as Halal?
No. Vegan status and Halal compliance address different requirements and should not be treated as equivalent.
