About HAK The Halal Accreditation Agency (HAK) is Turkey's national halal accreditation authority, established in 2017 under the Turkish government and operating under the Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet). HAK is responsible for accrediting halal certification bodies operating in Turkey and for establishing mutual recognition agreements with international halal accreditation authorities, extending the acceptance of Turkish halal certificates globally. HAK operates within the OIC/SMIIC standards framework and has signed mutual recognition agreements with JAKIM (Malaysia), MUIS (Singapore), GAC (GCC Accreditation Center), EIAC (UAE), and numerous other national halal accreditation bodies. HAK accreditation is a prerequisite for halal certification bodies seeking to issue certificates recognised across OIC member state markets from a Turkish base. Given Turkey's position as a major global food exporter — with annual halal food export revenues exceeding USD 5 billion — and as the host of SMIIC, HAK plays a pivotal role in shaping the international halal certification landscape and facilitating Turkish food export market access.
