Conformity Assessment Bodies

Dear Member,

In the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, with reference to the letter received from the Ministry of Trade dated 13.02.2023 and numbered 82735467, the letter referenced above, a copy of which is attached, states, with reference to a letter received from the Commercial Counsellor's Office in Baghdad, that the Central Government of Iraq (IMH) has made changes to conformity assessment bodies, and announces that Intertek and HQTS China will not be able to accept requests for issuing certificates of conformity as of 15.02.2023, and Geo Chem Middle East as of 01.03.2023.

The letter states that after the said dates the only body authorised for conformity assessment will be B.V Bureau VERITAS France, while noting that the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq (IKBY) continues its contract with Intertek.

The letter further states that it is considered that the authorisation of different bodies by the IMH and the IKBY in the field of conformity assessment may cause our companies exporting to Iraq to experience difficulties during their crossings.

Annex: Conformity Assessment Bodies

Kind regards,

Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry
