  🏛️ Regulatory Framework – Côte d'Ivoire

  Côte d'Ivoire operates a stringent dual regulatory system: a mandatory pre-shipment quality verification program for most imports and a dedicated authority for pharmaceutical quality control. The COA is a core document for both pathways:

  • Programme de Vérification de la Conformité (VOC) / Certificate of Conformity (CoC): Implemented by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and SME Promotion. This mandatory pre-shipment program requires that all regulated imported goods (e.g., Food, Chemicals, Electricals, Textiles, Toys) obtain a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) before shipment. The COA is the primary technical document reviewed by the mandated Inspection Bodies (e.g., SGS, Cotecna, Bureau Veritas) to verify the product meets the applicable Ivorian or international standards.

  • Autorité Ivoirienne de Régulation Pharmaceutique (AIRP): The central regulatory body for the authorization, importation, and quality control of Pharmaceuticals (Drugs), Medical Devices, and other Health Products. The AIRP requires detailed COAs for the Marketing Authorization (AMM) dossier and for quality verification of every imported batch (Article 35: Quality Control).

  • Côte d'Ivoire Normalisation (CODINORM): The national standards body responsible for developing and implementing Ivorian Standards (NI). Conformity to NI standards is mandatory for VOC-regulated products.

  • Laboratoire National de la Santé Publique (LNSP): The National Public Health Laboratory, to which the AIRP must refer for quality control testing of pharmaceuticals.

  • International/Regional Standards: Côte d'Ivoire adheres to regional (WAEMU/ECOWAS) and international standards:

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

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

  🔬 Our GlobalCOA Services – Côte d'Ivoire

  We offer complete lifecycle support for Certificate of Analysis documentation, ensuring compliance with the dual requirements of the VOC and the AIRP:

  ✅ COA Preparation (Ivorian-Compliant)

  • COA drafting aligned with AIRP requirements (for AMM dossier/Import authorization) and mandatory CODINORM/VOC standards for conformity assessment.

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

  • The COA must demonstrate conformity to the applicable Normes Ivoiriennes (NI). If a product is licensed (Route C in VOC), the COA supports the audit-based process.

  • COA must include the Batch Number, Manufacturing Date, and Expiry Date and must be prepared in French to facilitate regulatory review.

  ✅ COA Review & Regulatory Compliance Assessment

  • Review of existing COAs for AIRP / CODINORM / VOC compliance.

  • Identification and correction of non-compliance issues:

    • Missing mandatory testing parameters as required by the relevant NI standard (or the international standard referenced by the NI).

    • Incorrect acceptance criteria or non-approved test methods, potentially leading to an Advice of Non-Conformity (ARA) under the VOC program.

  • Verification for CoC Submission: Ensuring the COA/Test Report is robust for submission to the mandated VOC Inspection Bodies (CABs) to obtain the mandatory Certificate of Conformity (CoC).

  ✅ Testing & Analytical Coordination (Côte d'Ivoire)

  • Testing coordination through ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories recognized by CODINORM and accepted by the authorized VOC providers.

  • Method selection as per:

    • Relevant Pharmacopoeial methods (BP, USP, EP) for drugs.

    • CODINORM Standards / Codex Alimentarius for food and other regulated products.

    • Validated in-house methods with appropriate justification.

  • Support for the required Quality Verification Testing (laboratory analysis) conducted during the VOC assessment process or by the LNSP/AIRP upon import.
