Overview of Halal Certification
Halal certification is a system that verifies whether a product complies with Islamic law. The term "Halal" originates from Arabic, meaning "permissible" or "lawful." Halal certification is granted to products and services that are produced through safe and clean processes, in accordance with Islamic law, ensuring that Muslims can use them with confidence. This certification applies not only to food but also to a wide range of products, including fashion, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and more. It is an essential requirement for entering markets in predominantly Muslim societies, where faith-based standards are of utmost importance.
Halal Certification Scope
Products eligible for Halal certification include food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, household goods, cosmetics, chemical products, textiles, packaging, and packaging materials. Products containing Haram (forbidden substances), such as pork, blood, or alcohol, are excluded from certification. KTC can provide certification services for the categories listed in [Table 1].
