Importance of Halal Accreditation?
HAK, which includes over 740 halal conformity certificates for different product groups within the scope of its accreditation, has also included organizations that will certify people who will work with titles such as auditors and experts in the halal certification and production sectors within the scope of halal accreditation.
HAK, which is the first and currently the only authority in the world in halal accreditation according to the relevant standard of SMIIC for personnel certification bodies, paved the way for the certification of people operating in the sector according to common competency criteria. In this way, it was ensured that the people working in the sector adopted common criteria in their professional skills and competencies. A predictable implementation framework has been established for all parties.
TSE Personnel Certification Directorate became the first institution in the world to be officially authorized by HAK for the certification of people who will work in the halal field.
