General Conformity Assessment Process

Conformity Assessment Programmes (CAP)

Intertek Conformity Assessment Programmes ensure that products are fully tested in a recognised laboratory and a certificate is issued before they are shipped to the client country. Testing is to agreed national, or international standards. Intertek has a vast worldwide network of testing laboratories, meaning that we can operate Conformity Assessment Programmes covering a wide range of products.

Fiscal and Revenue Protection Programmes
