Pre-Export Verification of Conformity to Standards (PVoC) is a conformity assessment program applied to products covered by compulsory Uganda Standards at the exporting countries. It ensures compliance with Uganda Standards before shipment. EAA is one of the service providers contracted by Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) for inspection of used motor vehicles in Japan, UAE, UK, Singapore, and South Africa.

The Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) Program operates under the authority of the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS), which was established by the UNBS Act, CAP 327. This Act empowers UNESCO to develop, promote, and enforce standards to protect public health safety, and the environment, while also safeguarding consumers against substandard goods.

In addition, the Inspection and Clearance of Imports Regulations, 2022 require that all imports subject to compulsory standards must undergo conformity assessment before entering Uganda.

Why PVoC?

• Increases consumer confidence

• Facilitates timely clearance of goods and vehicles

• Reduces substandard products on the market

• Saves costs such as demurrage, re-exportation, and destruction of substandard goods
