OIC/SMIIC 1
Food
General requirements for halal food: raw materials, production, storage, traceability.
Certification
A rigorous process, verifiable certificates.
OIC standards, on-site audits, an independent committee decision and a digitally signed certificate: every step is documented.
Standards
Three OIC standards, the same rigour.
Halal Sénégal certifies against the standards of the Standards and Metrology Institute for Islamic Countries (SMIIC).
OIC/SMIIC 4
Cosmetics
Cosmetic and personal care products: composition, processes and freedom from contamination.
OIC/SMIIC 9
Tourism
Tourism and hospitality services: catering, accommodation and tailored services.
Process
Seven steps, from application to certificate.
A documented path, qualified auditors and a decision taken by an independent certification committee.

The label
The Halal Sénégal label and how to use it.
The label belongs only to certified companies, for the scope and duration of their certificate.
Certified scope only
The label appears only on products and services covered by the certificate, for the audited sites.
With the certificate number
Every use refers to an identifiable certificate (e.g. C.HSS001/2026), verifiable on halalsenegal.sn.
While valid only
On expiry, revocation or replacement, the label must be removed from new packaging.
As per the brand guidelines
Colour and monochrome versions, minimum size and clear space: the logo must not be altered.
