Compliance with the relevant Saudi standards, or approved equivalent international alternatives, leads to the issue of a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) prior to shipment by Country Offices or Regional Licensing Centres. The ICCP apphes to all consumer products exported to the KSA (KSA, 2004). Samples may be selected for minimum verification tests as a part of annual routine inspections.
