The concepts of halal and haram are very important for those who believe in Islam. Due to their beliefs, people pay attention to stay away from haram and to eat with halal foods. The need to access halal food produced in accordance with Islamic rules and to use clean and reliable food products prepared for this purpose is becoming more widespread in the world today. Muslims live all over the world today. The conditions under which food is produced and what criteria are produced are a serious issue especially for people living in non-Muslim countries.
Numerous domestic and foreign organizations are trying to identify some criteria and develop methods for the determination of halal products and the easy access of people to these products. It has become a necessity to make all of these works as a standard that can be complied with by the manufacturers, which can be controlled and safe product principles.

The first step in this context was the establishment of the Halal Food Project Committee in 2013. This committee was established jointly by the standardization bodies of Austria, the Netherlands, Macedonia, Belgium, Sweden and Croatia as well as our country. Once this committee has completed its work, the member states of the European Standardization Committee will abrogate and adopt its national standards.

TSE is based on TS OIC / SMIIC 1: 2011 Halal Food General Guide and TSE Product Certification Center Halal Food Certification Directive prepared by Islamic Countries Standards and Metrology Institute. In the world, the first country to make halal food certification is Malaysia.
