SONCAP认证简介

        尼日利亚国家标准局(Standard Oranization of Nigeria,简称SON)是尼日利亚(Nigeria)负责制定和执行进口商品和本国制造产品质量标准的政府机构。

为确保管制产品符合已获准施行的该国技术标准或其他国际标准,保护尼日利亚(Nigeria)消费者免受不安全产品或者不符合标准的产品的损害。尼日利亚(Nigeria)国家标准局决定对出口到该国的管制产品实施装船前的合格评定程序(Standard Organization of Nigeria Conformity Assessment Programme.简称SONCAP)。
  SONCAP这一合格评定业务要素包括:装船前物理检验、抽样、在认可实验室测试和分析、产品生产过程和体系的审核,文件审核等(产品)标准符合性评定。
  SONCAP要求出运产品符合尼日利亚(Nigeria)工业标准(Nigeria Industrial Standards, NIS)和/或其他经批准的国际标准。
  尼日利亚SONCAP认证,世界贸易组织(WTO)发布TBT通报(编号G/TBT/NGA/1),称尼日利亚将对进口到该国的部分电子电气产品、某些汽车类产品、玩具、建筑材料和煤气用具产品等实施强制性合格评定。届时出口到尼日利亚的、强制性合格评定程序所涉及的所有产品(以下简称“管制产品”)必须获得装船前产品认证和强制性合格评定认证。 SONCAP从2005年9月1日起开始生效,并给予了90天的宽限期,即于2005年12月1日起正式执行。?
  尼日利亚SONCAP实施多年后,按最新通知将在2013年4月1日起实施新的SONCAP政策,和以往的SONCAP相比,变动很大。出口商每次出货不再申请SONCAP, 改为申请COC. 出口商拿到COC后提供给进口商申请SC. SC由进口商在当地SONCAP机构直接申请。此外,根据产品的风险类别要求现场抽样测试、验货和监装。

Each shipment of good(s) or product(s) subject to SONCAP arriving any Nigerian Port must be accompanied by a SONCAP Certificate (SC). The methods employed for achieving these requirements vary according to the nature of product, the risk profile of the manufacturer and the level of conformity met by existing certifications.

The steps shall be as follows:-

Step 1: Product Certificate 1 (Unregistered Status)

Step 2: Test Report
Test Report to be issued by:
- Approved ISO 17025 laboratories
- Manufacturer for testing witnessed by IAF

Step 3: Certificate of Conformity (CoC)
Certificate of Conformity to be issued by IAF upon:-
- Receipt of satisfactory Test Report as per step 2
- Satisfactory goods verification, witnessing of stuffing of Full Container Loads (FCL) and affixing of seals to FCL based on a risk assessment.
