Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for Morocco

Who Requires a CoC for Morocco?

Manufacturers and exporters intending to ship regulated goods to Morocco are required to conduct local verification processes. They must coordinate with an Inspection Body authorized by the Moroccan government, such as Applus+, to acquire a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) before exporting their products to Morocco.

What Is the Verification of Conformity (VoC) programme for Morocco?

Recently, Morocco has made significant changes to its market access conditions. A wide range of products now must prove compliance with the country's quality and safety regulations.
