Morocco Verification of Conformity (VOC) Program

Moroccan Ministry of Industry, Trade, Green and Digital Economy (MCINET) recently established a 'Verification of Conformity (VoC)' program to certify that products imported into Morocco comply with the national regulations for product quality and safety. The VoC program is effective since February 1st, 2020.

Specific consumer and industrial products aimed for import into Morocco shall undergo testing acc. to local NM-standards, which are partially harmonized with ISO- or EN-standards. A pre-shipment inspection needs to be performed either in the country of export or on Moroccan territory (Destination Inspection) – depending on the regulated product categories (see ‘Products in Scope’ above). In both cases, the conformity assessment concludes with a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) - demonstrating that the products meet the applicable standards and regulations. Three different certification routes may be chosen from, according to the nature and frequency of imports.

The Law 24-09 issued by the Moroccan government forms basis for this VOC program.

The list of regulated products is available on the website of the MICEVN
