I know here in Canada there were alot of companies claiming Halal without products actually being certified, so it's probably an international issue..........
The certifying company we had also had to verify that the slaughterer was Muslim (but they didn't care if he actually faced east)
They were well regarded within the Muslim community here, so no issue with being legitimate
But back to the testing, like FSQA mentioned, no alcohol involved plus these others..........so I would assume the lab is going to test for these things
All foods are considered halal except the following (which are haram):
- Alcoholic drinks and intoxicants
- Non-Halal Animal Fat
- Enzymes* (Microbial Enzymes are permissible)
- Gelatine* – from non-Halal source (fish gelatine is Halal)
- L-cysteine (if from human hair)
- Lard
- Lipase* (only animal lipase need be avoided)
- Non-Halal Animal Shortening
- Pork, Bacon / Ham and anything from pigs
- Unspecified Meat Broth
- Rennet* (All forms should be avoided except for plant / microbial /
- synthetic – rennet obtained from halal slaughtered animal is
- permissible).
- Stock* (a blend of mix species broth or meat stock)
- Tallow* (non-Halal species)
- Carnivorous animals, birds of prey and certain other animals
- Foods contaminated with any of the above products

I am going to add my own word of caution here (and you may have to read between the lines) be wary.........I would call your CB and speak to them directly to ensure you really need to do this.........we had a halal CB who was profiting from the lack of real information out there.....and everytime we turned around they were increasing fees by 20% at a time
