Governments around the world face a major challenge: the global economy is growing rapidly, and a thriving international trade is an ever-present priority. At the same time, public awareness of health risks and consumer and environmental protection is increasing, forcing politicians to take innovative and reassuring measures. In order to fully comply with these regulations, a conformity assessment by an independent external body, such as Bureau Veritas, is usually required.
Bureau Veritas has been appointed by the Central Organization for Standardization and Quality Control (COSQC) to implement the “Pre-Inspection, testing and issuing certificates of conformity Program of Goods Imported into Iraq” applicable to products imported into the Republic of Iraq.
WHAT IS VOC?
The Verification of Conformity service involves checking conformity of goods according to national standards or an international equivalent. At the same time it encourages importers and exporters to understand the need for compliance and its benefits.
WHAT ARE KEY BENEFITS?
- Protect consumers against dangerous, sub-standard or counterfeit products.
- Provide a guarantee to the buyer that the goods ordered are those shipped.
- Ease trade operations by recognizing existing conformity proof to avoid unnecessary additional testing.
- Conform with recommendations of the World Trade Organization “Technical Barriers to Trade” Agreement.
