Exporting to Botswana - Intertek Accredited by BOBS to issue Certificates of Conformity

The Botswana Bureau of Standards (BOBS), a parastatal organization responsible for the development of Botswana Standards and coordinating quality assurance activities in Botswana, recently granted Intertek an accreditation to issue the Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for products regulated within the provisions of the Standards Import Inspections Regulations (SIIR). SIIR has been implemented since 1st April 2009.

In light of the above, Manufacturers and Exporters having shipments of regulated products to Botswana can now approach their nearest Intertek Country Office to obtain more information on the programme and also apply for the CoC which will ensure a smooth clearance of shipments at Botswana Customs.
