Halal Certification Process

The process of Halal Certification is explained by Nippon Asia Halal Association "NAHA", for the community as well as business sector. 

Many people are concerned about what is Halal Certification process?

We try to explain with pictures in short words.

1. Meeting with client to understand the products and ingredients.


2. Pre audit to understand the factory process of making Halal Products to be. During Pre Audit, process includes:

• A- Checking of documents including details of ingredients, and their source, sometime it includes the detail traceability of all the ingredients. Rest 24 different types of documents are required.
• B- Checking of process in side factory
• C- training about Halal as religion, as science and as technology.
• D- Checking Tayyab (HACCP, ISO, or GMP) standards applied in side factory area and record keeping.​

  3.  Full Audit. Done by two auditors, one is science expert and other is religion expert (In case of NAHA we have Ph.D Food Science and Ph. D Religious Knowledge (Mufti). 

  4.   Report writing.
  5.   Review on report.
  6.   Halal Certification.

There are three types of certificates for products.

1. Low threat products (like mineral water, valid for 2 years. 
2. Slight threat products like processed foods, Valid for 1 year. 
3. High threat products (restaurants) valid for 6 months. 

Regardless of validity date, un-announced audits also being conducted. We try our best to make sure the Halal and Tayyabness of ingredients and process. Un intention mistakes are possible as we don't claim ourselves as God but we do IJTIHAD (hard work) to make sure no mistake process. May ALLAH accept our efforts.
