GIMDES

GIMDES (founded 2005) is Turkey’s first Halal Certification Institution, operating as an independent organization that sets standards, inspects facilities, and certifies products across multiple sectors including food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and household/cleaning goods in alignment with Halal and Tayyib principles. As current president of the World Halal Council, GIMDES maintains MOUs with halal certification bodies worldwide, ensuring broad acceptance of its certificates and facilitating seamless export to Muslim-majority and global markets that require or prefer credible halal labels. Backed by international accreditations (JAKIM, BPJPH, MUIS, IMANOR, HAK, Qatar MOPH, CICOT), GIMDES helps brands achieve regulatory compliance, win consumer trust, and scale distribution by meeting stringent halal requirements validated through on‑site audits, documentation reviews, and ongoing surveillance.
