GlobalCOA – Mauritania (Islamic Republic of Mauritania) 🇲🇷
Certificat d'Analyse (COA) Preparation, Review & Testing Services
Mauritanian-Compliant COAs. Regulatory-Ready. Export-Focused.
GlobalCOA provides end-to-end Certificate of Analysis (COA) preparation, review, and testing services in accordance with Mauritanian regulatory requirements for products manufactured, marketed, or exported to or from Mauritania.
The COA is a core quality document essential for the mandatory pre-shipment inspection process and for regulatory clearance of health products and food.
🏛️ Regulatory Framework – Mauritania
Mauritania enforces quality control through specialized agencies, a national standards body, and a mandatory pre-shipment inspection for many imported goods to ensure quality, safety, and compliance with Islamic principles (e.g., prohibition of alcohol and pork products).
Direction de la Pharmacie et des Laboratoires (DPL) / Ministry of Health (MoH): The key authority responsible for regulating Pharmaceuticals (Drugs), Medical Devices, and Health Products.
Market Authorization (MA): All pharmaceutical products must be registered (have a Market Authorization certificate) with the MoH. The COA is a mandatory part of the dossier and must be compliant with the WHO Certification System for pharmaceutical products.
Import Control: The import of medicines is subject to authorization and inspection at authorized ports of entry. Authorities are empowered to levy samples of imported products for review, making the accompanying COA the benchmark document for verification.
Direction de la Normalisation et de la Promotion de la Qualité (DNPQ): The Directorate of Standardization and Quality Promotion within the Ministry of Industry, responsible for standardization, certification, and accreditation activities.
National Standards: The DNPQ oversees the development of national standards (often adopting international standards like Codex Alimentarius for food). Inspections primarily focus on the hygienic condition and safety of food, medicinal products, and mass consumables.
Pre-shipment Inspection (PSI) / Certificate of Inspection (CoI): Importers often require a Certificate of Inspection (CoI) from an approved international inspection company (e.g., SGS) to confirm the quality and compliance of the goods against agreed standards before shipment. The COA is the fundamental technical document used for this verification.
Sanitary and Phytosanitary Control: Control of food, fishery products, and animal/plant health involves the Ministries of Health, Fisheries, and Rural Development, all of which require specific certificates and attestations (which rely on the COA) to confirm compliance with international conventions (IPPC, OIE).
Language Requirement: Labeling and essential documentation, including the COA, must be in French and/or Arabic.
