All I understand that the International Conformity Certification Program (ICCP) has been eliminated as of August 2004 in accordance with WTO accession requirements. I believe the previous ICCP program was managed exclusively by Intertek but it is my understanding that the ICCP document is no longer necessary.
Refer to the following WTO document, paragraph 197, item ii, for details. http://www.wto.org/english/news_e/pres05_e/wtaccsau61_e.doc Accordingly, "During a transitional period, the conformity certificate should be issued by an entity authorized by the competent official agency in the country of origin. Such conformity certificates should accompany all consignments of imported goods certifying their conformity to the established mandatory standard (technical regulation). The certificate should confirm that these goods were subjected to regular laboratory examination under supervision of the competent control agency in the country of origin." Does anyone have current experience with Saudi Arabian customs still enforcing the previous ICCP program? Or are you understanding that a conformity certificate from a competent authority from the country of origin such as a CB certificate can accompany each shipment? Any insight, corrections, details would be appreciated. Best regards, Jason L.
