Certificate of Conformity for exports to Congo Brazzaville (Republic of Congo)

Update: The Congo PCEC programme is officially enforced. To obtain your mandatory COC, please contact us.

About the programme

As a trusted partner of the Republic of Congo, Cotecna is mandated by the Congolese Agency for Standardization and Quality (ACONOQ) to execute the Congolese Conformity Assessment Programme (PCEC).

Our role is to assess and verify the compliance of all regulated products that will be exported to the Republic of Congo in accordance with all standards and regulations approved by ACONOQ.

Regulated Products

All products imported into Congo are regulated and will require a Certificate of Conformity.

In case of doubt or to check if your product is regulated, please contact us to determine if your products are subject to regulation.

Congo Republic conformity assessment process

To assess the conformity of a shipment, the verification of conformity process will take one of the three following routes, depending on the profile of the exporter:

• Route A for exporters with infrequent shipments or sensitive products
• Route B for exporters with regular shipments with non-sensitive homogeneous products
• Route C for manufacturers, official distributors and brand owners with regular and high-volume shipments to Congo and having a Quality Management System (QMS) applied to their production/manufacturing process.
