According to Shari’ah Law, HALAL is ….
• Lawful
• Permissible
• Wholesome
• Just
• All things pure and good (“Tayyab”)

RULE OF THUMB
• In Islam, every thing (food) is permitted (Halal) to be consumed, except “A B C D I S” which is prohibited (Haram):
A: Alcohol and Drugs
B: Blood (flowing or congealed)
C: Carnivorous animals and birds or prey
D: Dead animals/Birds (that died of itself before slaughter)
I : Immolated Foods
S: Swine and its by-products

“HALAL” & “TAYYAB”• For the food to be lawful (Halal) for consumption, it must
meet the following two criteria:
(a) The food must be earned /acquired lawfully
(b) The food must conform to the Islamic dietary laws
• For the food to be good (Tayyab) for consumption, it must meet the following two criteria:
(a) The food must be wholesome and nutritious
(b) The food must be safe for consumption.

HALAL + TAYYAB = HALAL QUALITY • Determination of Halal & Tayyab is based on Shar’iah Requirements
• Halal products should meet Food Safety & Quality Requirements to fulfill consumer needs
• Halal Quality is a system based on a standard which respects both the Shar’iah requirements, the Government Regulations and relevant Food Safety & Quality standards
• All ingredients used in production must meet Halal requirements
• Certification Bodies must conform to the appropriate product standards, locally and/or internationally
• Food safety, hygiene, sanitation, product labeling and handling should be covered by mandatory government regulations
• Halal Quality implementation should encompass standards on PRODUCT, PROCESS & SYSTEM
copyright INTERTEK 2007, all rights reserved
HALAL & TAYYAB are technically determined through stringent
laboratory analyses by a highly competent laboratory.

II. Test Samples (Characterization)
It is very important to know as much as possible the details of the material to be tested as well as the materials/reagents to be used for testing. This will ensure preservation and integrity of samples.
• Test item/sample – ex. to which sample matrix
• Reagents/testing materials – must be freshly prepared & properly labeled; expiration must be checked.
• Test system – suitable location, appropriate design and adequate capacity

IV. Documentation & Record Management A. Maintenance of documents & records...
– job records, test application sheets – chain-of-custody record– raw analytical data, processed analytical data (Worksheets and Test Reports) - Quality Manual, Quality Procedures Manual– Standard Operating Procedures & Work Instructions– Instrument validation results (method validation)– Certificate of Analysis of Reagents, certification of reference materials, MSDS, etc. – training records & certificates – PT records and corrective actions
copyright INTERTEK 2007, all rights reserved
B. Raw Data–Actual results generated–Represents basis of results and reasons of
arriving at conclusions–Reflect procedures and the conditions of the test
(in worksheets)
IV. Documentation & Record Management
C. Final Report
–Ensure complete contents of the report
(test method used, test results, MDL’s, guidance values, sample description, date of analysis, etc
–Accuracy of results
–Interpretation of the data, conclusions
copyright INTERTEK 2007, all rights reserved
D. Archiving
–Storage of records must ensure safekeeping for certain number of years as defined in the lab’s system or as required by their clients
– Retrieval must be easy, logical and prompt
– Storage for retained records must be secured and free from any potential damage or deterioration
– Maintain Confidentiality of records
IV. Documentation & Record Management

QA/QC Programs
• Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s) – procedures which have been tested and approved for
conducting a particular test
– developed to acceptable standards, so that any analytical data collected and reported can be tied to a documented procedure
• Statistical Procedures Method/Instrumentation Validation
- establish the continuing acceptable operation of laboratory instruments within prescribed specificationsTime-related graphical records of the results of these instrument validation procedures are called "control charts".
copyright INTERTEK 2007, all rights reserved
QA/QC Programs
• Computation of Standard Deviation and Uncertainty of Measurements
• Use of Certified Reference Materials (CRM’s)
• Replicate Testing
• Correlation Tests among Analysts
• Regular Participation in Proficiency Testing Programs
• Equipment Calibration & Verification
• Internal Quality Audits

THE ROLE OF A HALAL LABORATORY
• Extend strong technical support to Certification Bodies thru issuance COA
• No product can be certified to be truly Halal without the aid of testing
• Information dissemination and implementation of product standards
• Technical training
copyright INTERTEK 2007, all rights reserved
ISSUES & CHALLENGES OF A HALAL LABORATORY
• NONE OF THE HALAL STANDARDS SPECIFY TEST PROTOCOLS REQUIRED FOR HALAL VERIFICATION
• THERE ARE NO ENDORSED OR APPROVED TEST METHODS OR STANDARDS FOR CRITICAL TESTS
• DEVELOPMENT OF TEST METHODS
• EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR CRITICAL OR SPECIALIZED TESTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE
(GC-MS, LC-MS, PCR, FTIR, etc.)• THE EMPLOYMENT OF A MUSLIM ANALYST OR
TECHNICAL STAFF NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED
