Intertek, a leading provider of quality and safety solutions for numerous international industries, is authorised by the Government of Uganda to issue the Certificate of Conformity (CoC). This verifies in the respective exporting countries, that the products comply with the applicable Ugandan technical regulations and mandatory standards or approved equivalent International/National Standards.
To assure its consumers of the safety and quality of imported goods, the Government of Uganda through the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) has re-instated a series of guidelines known as a Pre-Export Verification of Conformity to Standards Programme (PVoC) beginning 1st June 2013. The PVoC verifies the conformity of all regulated products and enforces their standards. Compliance to PVoC requirements is applicable in addition to any existing import processes. Non-conformity can result in severe delays in goods clearance, penalties or even shipments being returned to the country of export.
From auditing and inspection, testing and training, advisory and certification, we deliver quality assurance along the length of the supply chain and have undertaken more assessments of more products than any other organisation. We have one of the world's largest networks of laboratories and Intertek is authorised to test according to Uganda's requirements including electrical, chemical, automotive goods, food products, building materials and many others. Our staff are experts on Ugandan standards and requirements as well as understanding the needs of businesses exporting a wide range of products to Uganda and therefore able to help facilitate trade.
