Cotecna is a leading provider of inspection, testing, certification, and digital solutions, aiming to ensure traceability, security and conformity of goods across both the public and private sectors.
Kenya PVOC Certification Process
As a trusted partner of the Kenyan government, Cotecna’s mandate consists of conducting conformity assessment activities in the country of origin for products being imported into the Republic of Kenya.
These activities may include one or a combination of the following:
Physical inspection of goods
Sampling and testing at laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025
Factory audits
Sealing of full-container loads, where required
Once conformity is demonstrated, Cotecna proceeds with the issuance of a Certificate of Conformity (COC), which is a mandatory document for Customs clearance in Kenya.
