Kuwait Conformity Assurance Scheme (KUCAS)

The Kuwait Conformity Assurance Scheme (KUCAS) was implemented by the Public Authority for Industry (PAI) on June 17, 2006. The Scheme is a set of procedures PAI carries out to verify that specified products conform to the defined technical regulations. According to the KUCAS Scheme, these regulations apply to both imported and domestic products.

The KUCAS program aims to achieve the following goals for specified regulated products:

• Enhanced protection of consumers and environment from dangerous, sub-standard, counterfeit, or low-quality products.
• Compliance Verification of products placed in the Kuwaiti market, with the applicable standards and technical regulations.
• Safeguarding of the domestic industry from unfair competition of non-compliant or low-quality goods.

How it works

A Technical Inspection Reports (TIR) and Technical Evaluation Reports (TER) must accompany all consignments of imported goods that contain regulated products, to ensure smooth customs clearance of shipments in Kuwait.

These two documents respectively confirm compliance with Kuwaiti import regulations and compliance with Kuwaiti technical regulations as well as international/regional/national standards.

TÜV Rheinland has fulfilled all the qualification criteria set by PAI, and is approved as a Certification Inspection Body (CIB) to issue Technical Evaluation Reports (Product TER) and Consignment Technical Inspection Reports (Consignment TIR), in addition to providing testing, and pre-shipment inspection services for your products.
