Sažetak
In the last decade we are witnessing the development of halal standards for food, bodies providing halal
certification and bodies providing halal accreditation. The most important institution which is publishing
halal standards is The Standards and Metrology Institute for Islamic Countries (SMIIC) and in the terms
of halal accreditaion they published OIC/SMIIC 2:2019_Conformity Assessment – Requirements for
Bodies Providing Halal Certification and OIC/SMIIC 3:2019_Conformity Assessment - Requirements for
Halal Accreditation Bodies Accrediting Halal Conformity Assessment Bodies. Countries such as UAE and
Türkiye has implemented this standard as their national standards and start to issuing halal accreditation
for halal certification bodies. The missing part is that halal certification bodies if want to be accredited in
both mentioned countries shall go for accreditaion in each country.
The huge step was made by Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) by establishing Islamic Forum for
Halal Accreditation Bodies (IFHAB) with the aim that halal accreditation for a halal certification body in
one of the OIC member countries, shall be mutual recognize between member countries.
However, the major challenge on the EU halal market is the lack of clear regulatory frameworks of halal
certification, standardization and accreditation even the most important halal certification bodies are halal
accredited according to above mentioned standards the questions which are still remains are:
1. the self-proclamation of halal for the food and services,
2. halal certification without accreditation for EU market,
3. supervision of halal food which has been imported from OIC countries and others in EU.
The aim of this paper is to analyze the need for establishing European Halal Accreditation Agency using
secondary sources and the author's previous research.
