I AM A MANUFACTURER

For the consumer, the benefits of SICHMA halal certification are clear: knowing a product is halal-certified means he or she does not have to bother checking all the ingredients. The consumer can purchase the product with the assurance it does not contain anything that is haram or doubtful. 

What about the producer? What benefits does the producer receive from SICHMA halal certification? Actually, the benefits for the producer are just as great. 

For starters, a producer gets the expertise of the SICHMA staff in reviewing its products, the ingredients, the preparation and processing and the hygiene and sanitation procedures that are requisite in manufacturing said product. Of course, this is all done confidentially, so there is no concern of competitors learning anything about the product(s) involved in the certification process. Further, SICHMA halal certification provides an independent third party quality assurance step valued by conscientious consumers.

SICHMA has developed a documented procedure for producing halal products. The procedure is consistent with HACCP and other quality assurance standards and is easily implemented. SICHMA works with the producer every step of the way to ensure all questions are answered and halal procedures are integrated into the standard operating procedures effectively and efficiently. SICHMA offices are available for this year-round and it is part of the services we provide to client companies.

Once a product meets the requirements for halal certification, a certificate is issued. The SICHMA halal certificate has worldwide acceptance. From Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, to Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the rest of the Middle East, through Europe and North and South America, SICHMA-certified halal products and procedures have delighted and satisfied consumers and producers alike.

Once the product is certified, permission is granted to display the SICHMA certification logo, on the product packaging and label. This is a valuable assurance that the product is an authentic SICHMA halal-certified product meeting the highest quality of halal certification available anywhere in the world.

Once a retail product is halal-certified, the company and product are listed on our website, www.sichma.com.au. Anyone interested in halal products can check the website and find the product. In addition, anyone searching for halal will find his or her way to the SICHMA website and be able to peruse the many manufacturers who are tapping into the halal market in order to increase the availability of their products to halal consumers. Many people worldwide, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, are practicing halal lifestyles in order that they may reduce their risk with respect to heart disease and augment their personal hygiene and health standards, in general.

SICHMA refers seekers of halal-certified products and ingredients to its certified companies. SICHMA receives frequent requests for halal products from consumers, educational institutes, food service organizations, foreign importers and others seeking halal-certified products or halal ingredients.

For the halal food producer, this means immediate recognition and acceptance of SICHMA halal certification by halal consumers worldwide. The SICHMA logo portrays credible, professional halal authenticity!
