Documentary analysis
The company sends Halal Italia the official product/raw materials data sheets in the attachments with the application form, which are an integral part of the certification contract. An initial analysis of products, processes and services to be halal certified is then carried out by e-mail and telephone calls (stage 1). Only after the successful completion of this analysis can the subsequent audit proceed (stage 2). In addition, prior to stage 2, the company draws up a procedure for the management of halal production and selects a properly trained halal team from its staff.

Recognition of certificates issued by other certification bodies

For halal certificates, the body issuing them must have valid international Islamic accreditation for the production sector, the certification scheme and for the target market.
