• The applicant is asked to provide more detailed information to the HKA. In the case of a manufacturer, the applicant is asked to supply a full list of its plants' ingredients and products, as well as a detailed description of the manufacturing process.
• A mashgiach (kosher supervisor) is then dispatched to the premises for an initial inspection. The purpose of the initial inspection is to verify all the information supplied and to assess the viability of certifying a product or facility. The mashgiach then submits a report or plan for implementation to the HKA.
• Upon review and approval by the HKA of the mashgiach's report or plan, a contract between the HKA and the company is developed outlining the requirements for kosher certification.
• Upon completion of the signed contract and payment of certification fees, a mashgiach reviews compliance with the signed agreement.
• When all requirements are met for certification, the HKA issues a letter of certification.
