Does the Halal Accreditation Agency issue halal certificates?

Answer

No. The Halal Accreditation Agency of Türkiye (HAK) does not issue halal certificates; certification falls outside its remit. Halal certificates are issued by conformity assessment bodies, commonly called certification bodies. HAK's role is to audit and monitor those bodies and then accredit them, that is, to confirm that they are technically competent to issue certificates. A company seeking a halal certificate for a product or a site therefore applies to a certification body rather than to HAK, while the current list of bodies accredited by HAK is published on the Agency's own website.
