Get HMA Certified

The business contacts HMA and submits a formal application for Halal certification.

Required documents (e.g., product lists, ingredient details, sourcing information) are provided.

HMA reviews the application to determine the type of certification needed (e.g., halal meat store, restaurant, non-meat products, processed meat items, or home-based business).

HMA schedules an on-site audit to evaluate halal compliance throughout the operation.

Auditors review supply chains, ingredients, equipment, preparation areas, and handling practices.

For meat-related establishments, the audit includes verifying slaughter methods, segregation from non-halal items, and traceability.

Any required corrective actions are communicated to the business.

If the business meets all halal standards and completes any corrective actions, HMA approves the application.

HMA issues an official Halal Certification, confirming that all products and processes comply with recognized halal requirements.

The business is added to HMA’s list of certified establishments.

After certification, HMA conducts regular inspections and unannounced visits to ensure continued adherence to halal standards.

Businesses must maintain proper documentation, ingredient control, and halal-compliant practices at all times.

Renewal audits or updates are carried out as needed, especially if products or processes change.
