Rules for Use of DHCE Halal Certificates
All businesses holding a DHCE halal certificate must comply with the following rules governing the use and display of certificates and the DHCE halal mark. These rules are part of your certification agreement.
The rightful owner of the halal certificate is DHCE at all times. The certificate must be returned to DHCE as and when deemed necessary.
The certificate holder must continue to fulfil all certification requirements set by DHCE to maintain their halal certification, including implementing changes communicated by DHCE.
If copies of certification documents are provided to third parties, the documents must be reproduced in their entirety and not in part.
Any reference to DHCE certification in marketing materials, brochures, or advertising must be submitted to DHCE for review prior to publication.
Incorrect references to the certification scheme, or misleading use of certificates, marks, or licences, must be avoided in all documentation and communications.
The display of licences, halal certificates, and halal marks of conformity must be prominent, accurate, and used only in their approved form and in entirety.
Certificate holders who fail to renew their halal certificates will not be permitted to continue using the DHCE halal mark on their premises, products, or marketing materials.
The halal certificate must not be reproduced in part or in any way that would reduce its legibility. Certificates must not be tampered with, altered, or translated without the written consent of DHCE.
Upon suspension, withdrawal, or termination of certification, the certificate holder must immediately discontinue all use of the certificate and halal mark and return all certification documents to DHCE.
Found a Certificate That Cannot Be Verified?
If you scan a QR code or search a certificate number and cannot find a matching record in our register, please contact DHCE immediately. We take certificate fraud seriously and will investigate all reports promptly.
