Verification of Conformity (VoC) 

Applus+ Verification of Conformity services ensure all local requirements are met by verifying quality and safety regulations of exported and imported products, protecting consumers, and mitigating trade risks.  

Such a process includes the review of conformity documentation, physical or remote visual inspection of the products (where appropriate), and their correlation with shipping documents pre-arrival.  

Applus+ has a variety of verification of conformity programs. Each of these programs guarantees compliance with quality and safety standards under the regulations of the country of import. In this way, we are protecting consumers against dangerous and non-compliant products, accelerating customs clearance, and guaranteeing the conformity of imported products. 

We work towards the prompt issuance of a Certificate of Conformity (COC), emphasizing the quality and safety of shipments and facilitating a hassle-free customs clearance process. 

We assess the conformity of the shipment according to national and international standards, and our teams work on-site, assisting clients in introducing their products into the importing country.  

Upon completion of the conformity assessment process, we issue the essential certificate mandated by the authorities of the importing country. Presenting this certificate of compliance ensures that shipments will not face rejection, enabling the importer to proceed with the clearance of their goods.
