UAE accredited RK laboratory for Halal certification

The possibility of obtaining international Halal certification domestically will be an incentive to increase exports. The certification results of this laboratory will be recognized in all Arab states of the Persian Gulf - Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, reports World of NAN.

Bakhyt Sultanov, Minister of Trade of the Republic of Kazakhstan, shared the good news on his social networks. He noted that certification according to Halal standards will allow the country to expand its horizons and supply volumes abroad.

"Today we have received an official document from the International Accreditation Center of the UAE on accreditation of the laboratory of KazStandard with the right to certify Halal products! If now the enterprises spend from $7,000 to $30,000 per batch to get Halal certification (in the importing country), the cost of certification in Kazakhstan will vary from 90,000 to 700,000 tenge ($1,500) for serial production (!)," the Minister wrote.

According to B.Sultanov, the certification results will be recognized in the territory of all Arab states of the Persian Gulf. And the country can potentially increase exports to other regions: CIS, Turkey, and Iran. Especially since Kazakhstan has more than 4,200 producers of Halal products: food products, textiles, pharmaceuticals, household chemicals and cosmetics.

"And by the way, our laboratory is the only one accredited according to international requirements in the EAEU and Central Asia. This means we are becoming a regional hub for Halal: entrepreneurs from Asia, the EAEU and the CIS can use our site to assess the conformity of their products and gain access to the Gulf markets," the minister added.

The demand for halal in the world is huge: the volume of imports of halal products in the world is estimated at more than $250 billion. It is expected that by 2024, the global market of halal goods could reach $2.4 trillion.
