For a halal accreditation process, review, assessment, approval, and surveillance procedures toward the conformity assessment bodies demanding halal accreditation from IHA are performed pursuant to OIC/SMIIC Halal Standards and other related ISO standards.
IHA accredits organizations by verifying their technical competence and assessing their quality management systems based on recognized industry standards.
The accreditation process begins with the customer’s submittal of an application, applicable fees, and documentation cited in the applicable IHA accreditation criteria.
An IHA accreditation officer partners with each customer throughout the accreditation process, beginning with a review of the submitted data and the requested scope of accreditation.
Once the data has been reviewed and determined to comply with the applicable criteria, IHA matches an assessment team, comprising quality system, technical, and subject matter experts, to the requested scope of accreditation. The team conducts an on-site assessment and develops an assessment report.
After satisfying IHA accreditation requirements and demonstrating technical competence, the customer receives an accreditation certificate.
