In order to safeguard end consumer and montior the quality of imported products, the Pre-Shipment Evaluation of Conformity (PECAE: PROGRAMME D’EVALUATION DE LA CONFORMITE AVANT EMBARQUEMENT) program has been implemented by L’Agence des Normes et de la Qualité (ANOR) in Cameroon.

The program mandates that all regulated products imported must adhere to the national standards and technical regulations and must be a companied with Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for a smooth customs clearance process.

Within the framework of PECAE, products designated for import undergo validation and testing in the exporting country, resulting in the issuance of a Certificate of Conformity (CoC).

TÜV Rheinland has been appointed as an authorized Conformtiy Assesment Body to carry out the conformity assessment process for regulated products under the PECAE program, including conducting tests, inspections, and the issuance of Attestation of Conformity (AoC) for ANOR to issue a Certificate of Conformity providing smooth market entry and customs clearance processes for imported goods.
