Certificate of Conformity (CoC) – Iraq

The Central Organization for Standardization and Quality Control (COSQC) has regulated the import of the following product groups: Food, Chemicals, Engineering, Textiles, Construction, and Safety. Particularly with regard to labelling, warnings, and instructions for use, it is necessary to comply with specific requirements for these product groups, depending on the product group, as well as the type of approval procedure.

In addition to the regulated approval, exporters have the option of applying for a voluntary certificate of conformity. A special feature of the approval procedure for shipments to Iraq is that a valid certificate from a laboratory accredited according to ISO/IEC 17025 must be presented. Other proof of testing or certificates is only permitted in exceptional cases.
