Documents & SIHALAL Filing FAQ #134
Quick answer
Add a halal section to the approval form: risk tier flagging animal-derived and alcohol items; certificate validity and scope; verification of third-party proofs; on-site or questionnaire result; and review cycle. A Changchun meat plant treats the halal conclusion as a veto item, so an expired certificate suspends purchasing. Good Fortune Halal recommends linking the form to annual reviews and incoming exceptions, a hard gate before orders, not wall decoration.
Detailed explanation
Six halal columns in the form
- Material risk tier: animal-derived, alcohol-containing, or ordinary plant-based.
- Certificate information: number, scope, validity and verification route.
- Declarations: completeness of ingredient statements, specifications and sealed declarations.
- Site assessment: on-site or video audit conclusion for high-risk suppliers.
- Trial batch: first-lot incoming inspection and test results.
- Sign-off: joint signatures and the approval date.
Three links into the purchasing process
- Without a passed halal assessment, the supplier master data cannot release an order.
- Alerts fire before certificate expiry, and an expired certificate freezes the status.
- Incoming nonconformities trigger an ad hoc review.
Review and exit mechanism
- Annual reviews, plus immediate reviews on near-expiry certificates or source changes.
- Suppliers failing twice or refusing correction are blocked in purchasing.
- Former suppliers' files stay archived for batch traceability. The Changchun plant has purchasing, quality and R&D jointly sign the approval conclusion, preventing purchasing from releasing high-risk materials alone.
