What is SONCAP certification?
SONCAP
Nigerian federal government to implement a new policy to control the
export of unqualified unsafe products to the country. SONCAP
is effective as of September 1, 2005 and SONCAP is an acronym for the
Standards Organization of Nigeria Conformity Assessment Program. SONCAP
is a set of regulatory products and conformity assessment and
certification procedures applicable to certain categories of imports to
Nigeria. The above regulated products must arrive before shipment or comply
with the requirements of the Nigerian Industrial Standard (NIS) and / or
other approved international approvals. The purpose of implementing SONCAP is to protect Nigerian consumers from unsafe manufactured goods. The above unqualified unsafe products are mostly imported goods and sold directly to the hands of consumers. The objective of implementing SONCAP is to ensure that the regulated
products meet the relevant requirements of the acceptable standards and
to manage the regulated products by the relevant government agencies
that have supervisory responsibility for the quality of the products.

shipment of the goods. After

years and the date of issuance of the sub-inspection report. Thereafter,
before each batch of controlled products is shipped, the exporter shall
submit to the office a complete Request for Shipment Certification and a
Final Invoice. The SONCAP certificate will be issued to the exporter for customs clearance. The
second method, known as the Unsuantiated Declaration, applies to
exporters who can not submit a factual basis to the Suantiating Test
Report. The
exporter must contact the office, which provides the exporter with an
authorized contact for the laboratory that can carry out the inspection
of a particular regulated product. After the product is inspected, the exporter shall submit a copy of
the Test Report and a Request for Product Certification (RFPC) to the
Office. After
