COC (CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY)

In March 2020, The Central Organization for Standardization and Quality Control (COSQC) has appointed Geo-Chem Middle East as a notified body to issue Certificates of Conformity for Food, Non Food & Cosmetic Products Consignments exported to the Republic of Iraq market.

In order for the Food, Non Food & Cosmetic products of Traders, Importer’s and Manufacturer to enter the Republic of Iraq they should comply with the requirements of the Central Organization for Standardization and Quality Control (COSQC). Once the goods successfully go through the Iraq Customs clearance process, they are permitted to pass.

The CoC is mandatory for goods clearance; consignments without CoC or failing to meet the requirements of the new Recognition Program on Certificates of Conformity will be rejected at destination.

The scheme aims to safeguard the health and safety of consumers by governing the quality standards of goods entering the country. It also supports a faster, more reliable customs clearance process for food & cosmetic companies, domestic agents, food & cosmetic manufacturers, and wholesale distributors.

Geo-Chem Middle East is assigned and authorized by COSQC to issue Certificates of Conformity ( CoC ) for regulated goods subject to the this program. Geo-Chem Middle East fulfils all qualification criteria set by the COSQC, Central Organization for Standardization and Quality Control and is fully authorized to issue the required CoC’s.
