In Jordan, Halal certification is run by the national standards body, the Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization (JSMO), which grants a Jordanian Halal certificate and logo to help local food producers export. JSMO plays an active role in SMIIC, the OIC's standards institute: it sits on its board and takes part in the technical committees on Halal food and Halal cosmetics. Its Halal scheme recently gained international recognition.
