Global Halal Certifiers Directory

The Oman Accreditation Service manages halal certification conformity for products imported and produced in Oman, aligned with the GCC GSO halal standards framework.

The Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) represents Australia's Islamic scholars and imams, providing religious oversight and halal certification endorsement within the Australian Government Approved Halal Programme (AGAHP) framework. ANIC's religious authority enhances the scholarly credibility of halal certificates issued under its supervision. Australia's Muslim community of 800,000+ and its major halal export industries make ANIC an important part of Australia's halal certification ecosystem.

ISWA Halal is a United Kingdom-based halal certification organisation that provides certification services to food manufacturers, processors, and retailers operating in the British market. Operating under the Islamic Society framework, ISWA applies halal standards aligned with mainstream Islamic jurisprudence, covering food products, food ingredients, food-service establishments, and slaughter operations. The UK halal food market is one of Europe's largest, valued at over £3 billion annually and serving a Muslim population of approximately 3.9 million — around 6.5% of the UK population. ISWA operates alongside other UK-based certifiers including the Halal Food Authority (HFA) and Halal Monitoring Committee (HMC), each applying differing scholarly positions on mechanical slaughter versus hand slaughter for poultry and red meat. ISWA Halal's certification is recognised by Muslim consumers across the UK and is accepted by retail chains and food service operators seeking to serve the British halal market. ISWA is affiliated with the World Halal Council network, which provides a degree of cross-border recognition for exporters and importers working with ISWA-certified suppliers. For food businesses operating in the UK — from abattoirs and meat processors to ingredient suppliers and restaurant chains — ISWA certification provides a recognised compliance credential that builds consumer trust within the British Muslim community. The UK's halal certification landscape requires businesses to carefully select a certifier whose scholarly rulings align with the expectations of their target consumer segments, as Muslim consumers in Britain demonstrate strong awareness of and preference for specific certification marks. ISWA also offers halal awareness training and consultancy for food businesses establishing or reviewing halal supply chain compliance, making it a practical partner for manufacturers new to the UK halal market.
