Association Halal Industry of Kazakhstan (AHIK)

The Association Halal Industry of Kazakhstan (AHIK) is the first halal certification body in Kazakhstan that was established in 2006, a decade after the country was registered as a member of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). In that same year, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has established Halal Standards Committee to produce halal certificates while simultaneously carry the halal labels to appeal to the community. In essence, the body adapted Malaysian regulatory and development framework of the halal market in developing its halal industry. The body's halal logo was issued by the Department of Islamic Malaysia (JAKIM). AHIK has also worked closely with other intergovernmental agencies in Malaysia, such as SIRIM and Halal Industry Development Corporation (HDC) in developing its own halal certification process.
