Conformity Assessment Services

The main purpose of conformity assessment services is to determine that the shipments comply with local standards in order to clear customs smoothly and quickly at the destination. There are a number of compliance programs developed by various countries in this regard.

Each of these programs is designed to ensure that an importing country’s regulatory requirements for quality and safety are met, thereby protecting consumers and the environment, and largely protecting a business’s reputation.

Authorized institutions conduct inspections as soon as possible, carry out the necessary tests and analyzes and issue a conformity assessment document (CoC,
Certification of Conformity) in order to guarantee the quality and safety of a shipped product and to ensure that it is cleared from customs without any problems.

In general, conformity assessment services include the following studies:

• Checking whether the products to be exported or imported are subject to mandatory standards.
• To determine whether the products comply with the declared standards.
• To determine whether the products meet the technical specifications of these standards.
• Taking samples from products for tests and analyzes when necessary.
• To perform tests and analyzes of the samples taken in advanced laboratories.
• Issuing a document for the product whose compliance with the standards is confirmed.

The main purposes of conformity assessment programs (Verification of Conformity, VoC) can be listed as follows:

• Protecting the country’s citizens and strengthening consumer safety
• Eliminating customs bottlenecks in the country
• To guarantee the conformity of products to international and national standards
• Being sensitive to the environment
• Developing the country’s economic development
