At Halal Mark, we believe businesses should receive clear information about certification costs before committing to halal certification services. Our Fee Policy sets out the principles used when preparing quotations for halal certification, audits, inspections, product assessments, and related certification activities. Fees are determined according to the work required for each certification application rather than applying one standard price to every business.
The cost of halal certification can differ between organisations because certification requirements depend on factors such as the nature and complexity of the operation, number of sites, products or product categories within scope, production processes, documentation requirements, audit duration, and any additional assessment or follow-up activities required.
Our approach is to provide clients with a written quotation that clearly identifies the certification services being proposed and the applicable charges. Where the scope of work changes after the quotation has been agreed, any resulting additional certification work or costs will be discussed with the client before the additional work is undertaken, where reasonably practicable.
We aim to make the financial side of certification straightforward. Clients can contact our certification team before accepting a quotation if they require clarification about audit activities, certification scope, payment arrangements, additional visits, reassessment, renewal, or other charges applicable to their certification programme.
Our Fee Policy
Halal Mark uses a structured approach to determine fees for halal certification services. The applicable fee is based on the certification activities required to evaluate and maintain conformity with the relevant halal requirements and the agreed certification scope.
When preparing a quotation, Halal Mark may consider the type of organisation, products covered by the application, production processes, number and location of sites, complexity of the operation, level of documentation required, audit time, technical review requirements, and any additional certification activities that may be necessary.
Depending on the certification programme, charges may relate to activities such as application and document review, product or ingredient assessment, halal audit and inspection, certification review, certificate issuance, surveillance or follow-up activities, renewal, extension of scope, or reassessment. The specific services and fees applicable to a client are set out in the quotation or certification agreement.
Before certification activities commence, clients receive information about the proposed certification work and associated charges. This allows the organisation to review the certification scope and understand the expected financial commitment before proceeding. Where additional work becomes necessary because of a change in scope, significant changes to operations, additional sites, unresolved non-conformities, or other certification requirements, the client will be informed of the relevant implications.
Payment arrangements are agreed as part of the commercial and certification process. An invoice or other payment request will identify the amount due and the applicable payment terms. Certification activities, audit scheduling, certificate issuance, or other services may be subject to payment conditions specified in the applicable quotation or agreement.
Fees already incurred for completed professional services are not automatically refundable. Any cancellation, postponement, refund, or adjustment is considered according to the agreed quotation, certification agreement, services already performed, and applicable contractual terms. Clients should review the applicable terms before confirming certification services.
Halal Mark maintains appropriate records relating to quotations, invoices, payments, and certification activities. Financial information is handled through the organisation’s applicable financial, privacy, confidentiality, and information-security controls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Halal certification fees are determined according to the certification services required. Factors may include the type and complexity of the business, number of sites, products and processes within scope, audit requirements, documentation review, technical assessment, and any additional certification activities.
There is not necessarily one price that applies to every organisation. Certification requirements differ between businesses, so the applicable fee is determined from the agreed certification scope and work required.
Depending on the certification service, a quotation may cover application processing, document review, product or ingredient assessment, halal audit and inspection, certification review, certificate issuance, surveillance, renewal, or other agreed activities.
