Since November 1, 2016, the Zanzibar Bureau of Standards (ZBS) has implemented the Verification of Conformity (PVoC) program. All exporters to Zanzibar must ensure their products undergo assessment and certification through the PVoC program before customs clearance at the port of entry. As an internationally recognized third-party testing and certification organization, BACL was officially authorized by ZBS in September 2025 to become the PVoC CoC issuing body for all general goods exported to Zanzibar from China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Mongolia, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. This can efficiently help manufacturers enter the Zanzibar and even the entire East African market!

Certification Introduction:
Controlled products exported to Morocco must comply with Morocco's technical regulations and standards, and must obtain a COC certificate in order to successfully clear customs and enter the Moroccan market. For controlled products that need to apply for and obtain a COC certificate before exporting, traders must verify the controlled products before exporting and obtain a COC conformity certificate to verify that the product complies with Morocco's local technical regulations and standards.
Previously, Morocco implemented a transitional policy: for some products that did not obtain the COC conformity certificate before export, the Moroccan government accepted the inspection and verification after arrival at the port. This transition policy ends on December 31, 2020.
Product Control List:
• Electrical Appliances
• Other Electrical Products
• Construction Materials (Pipes, Sheets, Sanitary Equipment, Insulation, Wooden Panels, Cement, Windows, Glass...)

Certification Introduction:
The South African National Mandatory Norms Implementation Act (Act 5 of 2008) was promulgated in Government Gazette 31216 on July 4, 2008, and enforced on September 1, 2008, under the control of the South African agency NRCS. NRCS is the abbreviation of National Regulator of Compulsory Specification. The full name in Chinese is the National Mandatory Requirements Management Department. Its predecessor was the SABS-certified regulatory department, and later it has become an independent department. All electrical and electronic products that meet the requirements, whether exported or sold in the South African market, must apply to NRCS for a power of attorney as a customs clearance and sales pass.
Certification Category
• NRCS (LOA): Import License (Safety, Mandatory), must have a local agent in South Africa.
• EMI Certificate (CoC): Certificate of Conformity (EMI, Mandatory).
Standard Test
• Safety: IEC, SABS/SANS
• EMI: IEC, EN, CISPR, SABS/SANS
Applicable Product Range:
The electrical and electronic products included in the mandatory specifications are divided into the following five categories:
1. Household and similar products
2. Information technology products
3. Electronic entertainment equipment
4. Handheld power tools
5. Wire and cable
South African Certification Body Instructions:
The certification of electrical and electronic products is mainly divided into two aspects: safety regulations and electromagnetic compatibility. For safety, you must obtain LOA (Letter Of Authority) certificate, and for electromagnetic compatibility, you need to obtain COC (Certificate Of Compliance) certificate. The following is an explanation of important terms:
1. NRCS: It is the issuing authority of the LOA certificate.
2. SABS: It is the issuing body for COC certificate and SABS mark certification. The South African Bureau of Standards SABS (South African Bureau of Standards) is responsible for the braking of South African standards, as well as certification and testing.
3. LOA certification: Letter Of Authority, for security.
4. COC certification: Certificate Of Compliance, for EMC.
5. SABS certification: This certification is voluntary. The requirements are relatively strict, requiring the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) to arrange factory inspection and testing, and there will be two annual audits every year after the certification.
Comparison of NRCS and SABS
Certification Introduction:
The South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) was established in accordance with the National Standards Act promulgated in 1945 and is subordinate to the South African Ministry of Trade and Industry. SABS is a neutral third-party certification body in South Africa, responsible for system certification and product certification in South Africa. In addition to the responsibilities of setting standards, SABS also represents the national management standard and grants the right to use the logo for products that meet the standard. SABS Mark has been widely used in various fields and has become a symbol of product quality assurance.
According to the requirements of the South African National Bureau of Standards SABS, only the EMC report issued by the laboratory authorized by the A-Lab program can be used to apply for the EMC CoC certificate issued by SABS. On May 12, 2021, BACL was successfully approved to become the A-Lab program authorized laboratory of SABS in South Africa, which means that the EMC report issued by BACL can be directly used to apply for the SABS EMC CoC certificate.
The scope of BACL's accreditation by SABS is as follows:

Certification Introduction:
South Africa's independent communications authority (ICASA, which is the regulator of South Africa's national broadcast communications and postal services), all wireless products must obtain ICASA certification before entering the South African market. For wireless communication equipment exported to the South African market, it is necessary to apply for type certification to the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA), and it can be sold only after the approval. This is also equivalent to the approval of domestic network access models to apply for ICASA certification in South Africa. It should be noted that ICASA certification can only be issued to local registered companies or representative offices in South Africa. Therefore, it is best for domestic manufacturers to apply for ICASA by local importers, but the test can be done domestically.
