PRODUCT CONFORMITY

A product conformity assessment (PCA) verifies products’ compliance with the requirements of applicable standards and technical regulations. It follows a review by SGS product specialists of reports from verification activities such as laboratory testing, physical inspection and factory audits. Conformity of products is evidenced by the issuance of a Certificate of Conformity (CoC), a document that is mandatory for customs clearance.

Verification of Conformity is done following the review of reports from one or a combination of conformity assessment interventions e.g. laboratory testing, physical Inspection and/or factory audits.

Algeria

Certificate of Conformity for Exports

As a qualifying Certification and Inspection body SGS can issue the appropriate document of compliance, known as a Certificat de Contrôle de Qualité des Marchandises to facilitate customs clearance. This certificate of conformity must be issued in the exporting country.

Algeria’s Quality Certificate ensures goods meet mandatory safety, quality and security requirements, enables international trade, avoids delays in customs and reduces potential losses from the import of non compliant products.

We issue Certificates of Conformity (CoC) for goods to be exported following a review of reports covering:
  • Physical inspection prior to shipment
  • Sampling, testing and analysis in accredited laboratories
A CoC is issued once conformity is confirmed.

With decades of experience managing conformity assessment programs around the world we offer exporters efficient and comprehensive solutions to ensure your shipments conform with Algeria’s requirements.
