Consignment Based Conformity Assessment (CBCA)

Challenges

In today’s context, governments attach great importance to promoting international trade while closely monitoring consumer health and safety, as well as environmental protection. They therefore place high demands on the necessary conformity documents and certificates for goods being imported into their countries. 

Solution

Consignment Based Conformity Assessment Programs (CBCA) or Verification of Conformity programs (VOC), contribute to the implementation of regulations protecting consumer health, safety, and the environment. Consignments of goods are checked for conformity to applicable standards and technical regulations as per the requirements of the destination country.
