以下摘自尼日利亚标准局官方网站：
SONCAP stands for the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) Conformity Assessment Programme. In line with the statutory function of the SON as entrenched in the Act No 56 of 1971 and subsequent amendments, the SONCAP programme was introduced in 2005 by the Federal Government of Nigeria to address the challenges of the incessant influx of substandard and unsafe products into the country.
Three Programme Management Companies (PMC); Swede Control Intertek Limited, SGS Societe Generale de Surveillance and TUV Rheinland Group were appointed to administer SONCAP globally on behalf of SON.
Routes for determining conformity of product(s)
Each shipment of good(s) or product(s) subject to SONCAP arriving any Nigerian Port must be accompanied by a SONCAP Certificate (SC). The methods employed for achieving these requirements vary according to the nature of product, the risk profile of the manufacturer and the level of conformity met by existing certifications.
The SON has defined three routes that maybe applied as appropriate conformity assessment procedures for product(s) subject to SONCAP, according to type, risk and effect on the health and safety, and environmental protection. The routes are:
• Route A: For unregistered/Unlicensed products (Conformity Verification)
Each shipment to be imported requires inspection, consignment testing to applicable standards, witnessing of stuffing of Full Container Load (FCL) and affixing of seals to FCL upon the conformity to the requirements, the product is issued with a SC, which is valid only for that particular consignment. The steps shall be as follows:-
Step 1: Product Report Product Report (PR), valid for six months to be issued by IAF upon satisfactory completion of:- - Inspection - Product Sampling: Samples submitted for testing shall be (i) drawn by the IAF, or (ii) drawn under IAF supervision at the manufacturer’s premises.
