1 ISSUED: 09-Oct-13 INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW SONCAP PROGRAMME The Nigerian Standards Organisation of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is responsible for the preparation, adoption and application of Standards for both imported and domestically manufactured products. Early January 2013, the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) has officially released a new SONCAP regime with a completely revised conformity assessment structure. The programme is a set of conformity assessment and verification procedures applicable to all products imported into Nigeria except those under the exemption list. The implementation date for this new structure is 1 st March Consignments of regulated products have to be verified for compliance to relevant NIS (Nigerian Industrial Standards) sanctioned/other approved standards and essential requirements. The compliance verification process will involve physical inspection of the consignment and if necessary, sample selection for testing purposes based on the applicable route selected for certification. The document to be issued under the new structure is called as Certificate of Conformity (CoC). SONCAP Certificate will be issued by SON based on the existence of a valid CoC issued by an IAF (Independent Accredited Firm). Intertek is an accredited firm by SON. SONCAP Certificate shall be collected by Importers from SON directly. The SONCAP certificate is mandatory for Customs clearance of SONCAP regulated goods under the import requirements of the Federal Government of Nigeria. SONCAPPROGRAMME The scheme is designed to protect Nigerian consumers from unsafe and substandard finished products most of which are imported and consumed directly by them. The objectives of the programme include but are not limited to the following: Ensure that regulated products comply with the NIS or approved standards prior to export to Nigeria Provide a level playing field in terms of quality for both regulated and locally manufactured products in order to prevent unfair competition Prevent the dumping of substandard goods into the Nigeria market and as a result preventing economic loss to the Importer and the nation at large Impede loss of lives and property including foreign exchange bearing in mind that the exporting country/exporter have been paid for the goods shipped into Nigeria Forestall any adverse reaction (such as environmental pollution occasioned by destruction of substandard products) by Regulatory Agencies on arrival of such goods in Nigeria Facilitate trade through fast track clearance of goods at the ports Encourage genuine investors and investments in Nigeria Promote certified made in Nigeria products Conserve foreign exchange There are three essential features to the new SONCAP regime: Scope of Goods or Products subject to SONCAP The current regulated list includes all imported goods to be regulated by SONCAP except for the following: Food products Drugs (Medicines) Medicals other than equipment and machines Page 1 of 17

2 Chemicals used as raw material by bonafide manufacturers Military wares & equipment Goods classified as contraband by the Federal Government of Nigeria Used products other than automobiles Bonafide manufacturers who intend to import machinery or related spare parts for their manufacturing are advised to apply to SON for SONCAP Import Permit to enable them to import these items. Conformity to Standards and/or technical regulations The primary objective of SONCAP is to ensure the quality of products, health and safety, and environmental protection for Nigerians. Routes for Determining Conformity of products Each shipment of goods or products subject to SONCAP 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. SON has determined three routes that maybe applied as appropriate for the conformity assessment procedures for products subject to SONCAP certification, according to the type, risk and effect on the health and safety, and environmental protection. INTERTEK SOLUTION Pioneer in Product Conformity Assessment Programmes Intertek pioneered the development of the product conformity assessment programmes, which is now being applied in many parts of the world to prevent dangerous and unsafe products entering into the market.

ROUTES FOR SHIPMENT CERTIFICATION The SONCAP procedure includes provision of three routes of shipment certification subject to the frequency of shipment and the type of Exporter. For example, occasional Exporters can choose Route A for the certification of their shipments. Exporters who are also the manufacturers of the products being exported can choose Route A, B or C subject to the frequency of their shipments. The three (3) possible routes are as follows; Route A For Unregistered/Unlicensed products Route B For Registered Products Route C For Licensed Products Below is a summarized representation of the new structure; Page 3 of 16

4 ROUTE A FOR UNREGISTERED/UNLICENSED PRODUCTS Under this route each shipment to be imported requires inspection, consignment testing to applicable standards, witnessing of stuffing of FCL and affixing of seals to FCL. Upon satisfying all these requirements, the product is issued with a Product Certificate 1 (Unregistered Status), which is valid only for that particular consignment. Product Certificate 1 (Unregistered Status) is applicable to all Exporters/Traders/Suppliers/Manufacturers who wish to export goods to Nigeria. Certification under this Route covers the following steps: Samples taken in the presence of IAF at the manufacturer s premises or IAF draws the sample for analysis Samples to be tested in accordance with applicable Nigerian standards in IAFs laboratories or in an ISO accredited laboratory. Testing shall be done covering the PST critical tests. Issuance of a Product Certificate 1 (Unregistered Status) having a validity of 6-months Pre-shipment Inspection Issuance of a CoC for the shipment Issuance of SONCAP Certificate by SON. The Product Certificate 1 (Unregistered Status) issued by an IAF is required by the Importer to obtain a form M. The Form M is used by Importers to declare their intention to import goods to Nigeria. INSPECTION SELECTIVITY AND CONTAINER SEALING Every shipment certified under this route will require mandatory inspection and sample testing and therefore will not be entitled to Selectivity. Stuffing of all Full Container Loads (FCL) will be witnessed by the IAF and seals will be affixed to the containers. Below is the detailed procedure for obtaining a Product Certificate 1 (Unregistered Status). PRODUCT CERTIFICATE 1(UNREGISTERED STATUS) Product Certificate 1 (Unregistered Status) can be obtained following the below steps: Submission of application for Product Certificate 1 (Unregistered Status) Submission of test report/documents issued from an accredited laboratory. Testing shall be done covering the PST critical tests. In the absence of test reports, samples to be taken in the presence of IAF or IAF takes the sample for analysis Samples to be analysed in the IAFs laboratories or in an ISO accredited laboratory. Evaluation of the test reports for conformity to the standard requirements Issuance of the Product Certificate 1 (Unregistered Status) EXISTING PRODUCT CERTIFICATE Existing old Product Certificates are still valid however these can be considered equivalent to Product Certificate 1 (Unregistered Status) under Route A process. Therefore, clients holding valid Product Certificates will have to undergo mandatory inspection for their shipments. Exporters having multiple shipments covering the same products as registered in Product Certificate 1 and if these partial invoices are covered under the same Form M, then the Exporter can use the Product Certificate 1 (Unregistered Status) for multiple shipments within the validity period of the Product Certificate. Page 4 of 16

5 Refer to Figure 1 for Product Certificate 1 (Unregistered Status) process. ROUTE B FOR REGISTERED PRODUCTS Under this route registration of products is done following full type testing and assessment of the manufacturer s quality system in place in order to determine whether the product(s) under consideration is in conformity with the applicable standards and that the Manufacturer has the necessary systems in place to consistently produce quality products. Exporters from Route A having four compliant shipments and have satisfactorily completed factory audit could be elevated from Route A to Route B. Alternatively, the Exporter can directly apply for a Product Certificate 2 (Registered Status) without going through the Route A process. The Exporter will submit type test report issued by an approved laboratory. IAF will review the manufacturer s quality system and the Product Certificate 2 (Registered Status) will be issued upon successful evaluation of quality documentations and full type test reports. Product Certificate 2 (Registered Status) is applicable to Exporters who are Supplier/Manufacturers or who have their manufacturing units. Upon successful issuance of Product Certificate 2 (Registered Status) the succeeding shipments of the Exporter will undergo the following steps; Submission of application/ request with valid Product Certificate 2 (Registered Status) Verification of the Product Certificate 2 (Registered Status) Pre-shipment Inspection and testing (if applicable) Issuance of the CoC Issuance of SONCAP Certificate by SON.
