Registration How did we obtain the SASO Certificate of Conformity ? Step 1. Registration of products  All products  Per supplier or per product ?  Divided into 25 families: gearbox, motor, fans, bundles, valves, …  PO: ‘Supplier has to deliver all documentation necessary for obtention CoC enabling product to be imported in S-A.’  ISO-certificates – Test reports – Techical data sheets

Step 2. Inspection of products  When? Pre-shipment, in crates  What? Country of Origin + TAG-plate markings  Important:  Irremovable engravement of Country of Origin on each product  Only 1 Country of Origin per crate Inspection

Operation In practice?  Supplier: Cargo is ready  RCDC: « Request for Certification + Declaration of Conformity » + ProForma Invoice + Packing List  SGS: Visual Inspection of Tag-plates + Country of Origin  SGS: Draft + Issue Certificate of Conformity

Conclusion Essential:  Start on time !  Be strict to avoid blocked containers  Country Of Origin markings  Partnership
