As renewable energy continues to grow, solar products are becoming an increasingly important part of international trade and regulatory compliance. Ensuring that these products meet applicable quality and conformity requirements is essential for facilitating market access and supporting confidence across the supply chain.
In Egypt, the regulatory requirements for solar products are expected to develop under the Egypt Program (COI / ILAC), following a similar conformity assessment approach to products currently covered under Ministerial Decrees No. 43 and No. 991. This highlights the importance of reliable inspection certificates and accredited Product Conformity Inspection services to support compliance and facilitate market access.
Preparing for evolving regulatory requirements
As regulatory frameworks continue to evolve, importers, manufacturers and traders require reliable conformity assessment services to support compliance and facilitate customs clearance.
Following recent coordination with the relevant authority, the scope of solar products has been reviewed in relation to the technical capabilities and accreditation coverage of approved inspection bodies. We are well positioned to support this scope through its accredited inspection capabilities across key GCC locations, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
