Date of issue:2020-05-13

The Kuwait Industrial Authority (PAI) implements the international conformity certification program (ICCP) to evaluate and confirm the conformity of products imported from Kuwait. All controlled products must obtain the certificate of conformity (COC) issued by Pai's authorized organization before they enter Kuwait.
 
 
 
From June 17, 2006, Pai revised the original ICCP plan into kuwai conformity assurance scheme (kucas) and cancelled the original ship test mode from September 1, 2006.
 
 
 
Control products
 
 
 
It mainly includes electronic appliances, automobile, chemistry, building materials and other five categories.
 
 
 
Application process
 
 
 
According to their own situation, customers can obtain COC certificate of customs clearance documents in two ways. However, in order to reduce the export risk, the general customers choose the way of export country application.
 
 
 
Simple process: sample test --- registration and application for ter certificate --- inspection --- issuance of TIR certificate and application for COC customs clearance.
 
 
 
If the product is in the exporting country, apply to the qualified laboratory for testing. After the test is completed, apply to the qualified inspection organization for psi before shipment, and obtain the technical inspection report (TIR). Pai shall audit the test report and TIR inspection report, and issue the certificate of conformity (COC) for customs clearance after they are fully compliant with the requirements.
 
 
 
Note: in case of high delivery frequency, customers can apply for ter (technical evaluation report) certificate based on test report. The validity period of ter certificate is based on the test report, which is generally 3 years for CB report and 2 years for other IEC reports. Within the term of validity of ter, it is not necessary to submit test report for each shipment, just issue ter.
