The quote is free and without obligation. It serves to understand the scope of the work, the timescales and the cost before starting any application.
How it works. Fill in the form below, stating your sector, products and destination markets. One of our technical staff assesses the case and sends you a written quote, without obligation. There is no need to prepare any documentation at this stage.
What we need to know
The more precise the picture, the more accurate the quote and the less likely it is to change along the way. The four pieces of information that count most are:
Your business sector: slaughter has very different requirements from ingredient production or logistics.
How many products and product codes you intend to certify: a line of ten product codes sharing the same ingredients requires less work than ten heterogeneous products.
How many production sites are involved, and whether production is in-house or outsourced to contract manufacturers.
The destination markets: each country has its own recognising body and its own standards, and this affects documentation and timescales.
What you receive
A written quote with the scope of the certification (products, sites, applicable standards).
An indication of realistic timescales, from application to issue of the certificate.
The list of documents to prepare, so as not to lose time during the application review.
A dedicated technical contact to speak to, not a switchboard.
If you export to Indonesia, time is a factor. Since 18 October 2026 a Halal certificate has been mandatory for marketing food and cosmetics in the country. The technical timescales of a certification are measured in weeks, not days: check what is required here.
Application form
The form has several steps and takes about five minutes. The data are sent directly to our technical office.

Frequently asked questions
Is the quote really free?
Yes. The preliminary evaluation and the quote are free of charge and do not commit the company to starting certification.
How long does it take to receive a reply?
Normally within 24 working hours of receiving the completed form. In more complex cases one of our technical staff contacts the company to clarify the scope before drawing up the quote.
Do I need to have my documentation ready already?
No. At quote stage only general information on sector, products, production sites and destination markets is needed. The technical documentation is prepared later, based on the list of required documents that we send you.
Do you also work with small companies?
Yes. The scope of the certification adapts to the size of the company: a business with a single product line and a single plant follows a proportionately leaner process.
