QUALITY MANAGEMENT
Kosher certification process delivers a global solution
that is practical to implement, comparable in standard
and quality to other recognized food schemes
The word kosher means proper or acceptable, and it has informally entered the English language with that meaning. But kosher laws have their origin in the Bible, and are detailed in the Talmud and the other codes of Jewish traditions. They have been applied through the centuries to ever-changing situations, and these rulings, both ancient and modern, govern ICB kosher certification.
You may already be familiar with some of the more well-known requirements for kosher, but you may be surprised at the extent of the regulations with which you are not familiar.
This industry relevant Kosher certification process delivers a global solution that is practical to implement, comparable in standard and quality to other recognized food schemes. It will help you to meet demand for authentic and safe Kosher certified food.
Kosher symbols on food are an increasingly common sight. An estimated one million products are Kosher certified, and consumers spend over USD 200 billion annually on them. Kosher food certification gives you access to a market that has grown more than 15% in recent years and continues to expand.

Contact ICB today to discuss your Kosher certification requirements.
Complete a Quote Request Form so we can understand you and your business. We will then use this to personally prepare a proposal for your certification and define what is known as your 'scope of assessment'.
We will then contact you to book your assessment with an ICB assessor. This consists of two mandatory visits that form the Initial Certification Audit. Please note that you must be able to demonstrate that your management system has been operational for a minimum of three months, has been subject to a management review and a full cycle of internal audits.
Following a successful two stage audit, a decision is made and if positive, your certification is issued by ICB. You will receive both a hard and soft copy of the certificate. Certification is valid for three years and maintained through surveillance audits (years one and two,) and a recertification audit in year three.
