🏛️ Regulatory Framework – Cameroon

The regulatory landscape in Cameroon mandates a strong focus on quality and conformity assessment, especially for imported goods, through the compulsory pre-shipment program:

• Agence des Normes et de la Qualité (ANOR): The National Standards and Quality Agency. ANOR is the key body responsible for standardization, conformity assessment, and certification. ANOR implements the mandatory Programme d'Évaluation de la Conformité Avant Embarquement (PECAE), which requires a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for all imported goods (with limited exemptions) for customs clearance.

• National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Authority (NPRA) / Directorate of Pharmacy, Drugs and Laboratories (DPML) / Ministry of Public Health (MINSANTE): The central authority for regulating Pharmaceuticals (Drugs), Medical Devices, and Cosmetics. The DPML requires COAs as part of the Product Registration Dossier and for quality verification of imported batches.

• National Laboratory for the Quality Control of Drugs and Expertise (LANACOME): Cameroon's official National Quality Control Laboratory, responsible for testing drug samples submitted during registration and post-market surveillance.

• Cameroon FDA (Food and Drugs Authority): Responsible for the regulation and registration of Food, Drugs, Cosmetics, and Medical Devices. This body is mandated to protect public health through regulation and post-market surveillance.

• CEMAC/International Standards: As a member of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC), Cameroon adheres to regional and international standards:

  • BP / USP / EP / Ph. Int.: Primary standards referenced for pharmaceutical quality.

  • Codex Alimentarius / ISO: Referenced for food safety and quality standards.

🔬 Our GlobalCOA Services – Cameroon

We offer complete lifecycle support for Certificate of Analysis documentation as per Cameroonian regulatory expectations:

✅ COA Preparation (Cameroonian-Compliant)

• COA drafting aligned with DPML/FDA requirements for Product Registration/Import and mandatory ANOR/PECAE standards for conformity assessment.

• Compliance with international pharmacopoeias (USP / BP / EP) for drugs and Codex standards for food.

• The COA must demonstrate that the product complies with the relevant Cameroonian Essential Requirements, mandatory Cameroonian Standards, or, in their absence, to other relevant Regional/International Standards.

• COA should include the Batch Number and Expiry Date (products must have more than 50% shelf life remaining on arrival).

• Documentation must be prepared and translated as necessary (French/English) for submission to the Pre-Shipment Conformity Assessment (PECAE) Inspection Bodies.

✅ COA Review & Regulatory Compliance Assessment

• Review of existing COAs for DPML/FDA / ANOR / PECAE compliance.

• Identification and correction of non-compliance issues:

  • Missing mandatory testing parameters or insufficient shelf life.

  • Incorrect acceptance criteria or non-approved test methods, especially those deviating from ANOR-referenced standards.

• Verification for CoC Submission: Ensuring the COA/Test Report is suitable for submission to authorized Inspection & Certification Bodies (e.g., SGS, Intertek, TÜV Rheinland) to obtain the mandatory Attestation of Conformity (AoC), which leads to ANOR's Certificate of Conformity (CoC).

✅ Testing & Analytical Coordination (Cameroon)

• Testing coordination through ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories recognized by ANOR and the authorized PECAE providers.
