Cotecna Signs the Renewal of its VOC Mandate in Gabon
Cotecna is pleased to announce the renewal of our mandate to operate the Verification of Conformity (VOC) program in Gabon (PROGEC), reaffirming our solid partnership with the national authorities mainly AGANOR (Agence Gabonaise de la Normalisation) and our support to the country’s trade compliance efforts.
This renewed agreement represents a significant step in our ongoing relationship with Gabon, strengthening the mechanisms that ensure imported goods meet the required quality and safety standards. It highlights the continued trust placed in Cotecna’s expertise and our ability to deliver reliable and efficient conformity assessment services.
With this extension, Cotecna remains empowered to carry out conformity evaluations on a broad scope of regulated products exported to Gabon. Through inspections, documentation checks, and when necessary, laboratory analyses, we contribute to ensuring that goods comply with applicable national, regional, and international requirements before entering the Gabonese market.
As an increasingly important trade corridor in Central Africa, Gabon benefits from a strong conformity framework, and Cotecna is honored to continue supporting this strategic effort. Our services help safeguard consumers, streamline import procedures, and uphold the country’s quality infrastructure.
We express our appreciation to the Gabonese authorities for their renewed confidence and look forward to further strengthening this cooperation while enabling safe, compliant, and efficient trade.
