GlobalCOA – Mauritius (Republic of Mauritius) 🇲🇺
Certificate of Analysis (COA) Preparation, Review & Testing Services
Mauritian-Compliant COAs. Regulatory-Ready. Export-Focused.
GlobalCOA provides end-to-end Certificate of Analysis (COA) preparation, review, and testing services in accordance with Mauritian regulatory requirements for products manufactured, marketed, or exported to or from Mauritius.
The COA is an essential quality document for product registration (for pharmaceuticals/food) and a prerequisite for Customs Clearance of specific controlled goods, including those requiring mandatory pre-shipment inspection.
🏛️ Regulatory Framework – Mauritius
Mauritius maintains a high standard of quality control, enforced by multiple sector-specific authorities:
Mauritius Standards Bureau (MSB): The national body for standardization, metrology, and conformity assessment. The MSB develops Mauritius Standards (MS) and is responsible for regulating quality for a wide range of consumer products (e.g., iron bars, electric cables, toys). The COA is required for Import Commodity Clearance and to demonstrate compliance with mandatory standards.
Pharmacy Board (under the Ministry of Health and Quality of Life): The authority responsible for licensing wholesalers and controlling the importation and sale of Pharmaceutical Products and certain Medical Devices.
Product Registration: All pharmaceutical products must be registered (authorized) by the Pharmacy Board for commercialization. The COA is a critical part of the registration dossier.
Import Clearance: Pharmaceutical products can only be imported by licensed wholesalers and require clearance from the Government Pharmacist. The COA must accompany the shipment for quality verification.
Food Import Unit (Ministry of Health and Quality of Life): Responsible for regulating Foodstuffs. All food products require a Pre-Market Approval Permit and a Food and Drugs Permit (FDP) before release from Customs, which involves inspection of goods to ensure local requirements for labeling, origin, and quality (supported by the COA) are met.
Specialized Control Boards: Numerous other agencies control specific imports, all relying on test reports/COAs:
Dangerous Chemical Control Board (DCCB): Requires a license for chemicals and pesticides.
Division of Veterinary Services (Ministry of Agro-Industry): Requires permits for meat products and live animals.
Pre-Export Inspection (Used Vehicles): Used motor vehicles require a mandatory pre-shipment inspection and the issuance of an Inspection Certificate by an approved international inspection body (e.g., Intertek, Bureau Veritas) to assure quality and safety.
