Impartiality
NHA emphasises the importance of a fair and impartial halal certification process. NHA takes measures to avoid conflicts of interest and to ensure impartiality in its operations.
Key points regarding NHA’s approach to impartiality are:
- Understanding Impartiality: NHA and its stakeholders, including management and staff, have a clear understanding of the significance of impartiality in Halal Certification activities.
- Identification of Conflicts of Interest: NHA has identified and assessed all relationships that may potentially lead to conflicts of interest or compromise impartiality.
- Risk Assessment: NHA conduct risk assessments to evaluate any threats to impartiality that may arise from these relationships. This allows for the effective management and mitigation of such risks.
- Independent Impartiality Committee: NHA maintains an independent Impartiality Committee responsible for overseeing and managing impartiality. This committee ensures that impartiality is maintained and demonstrated in all halal certification activities.
By implementing these measures, NHA aims to uphold the highest standards of fairness and impartiality in its Halal Certification processes.
