How do exporters show compliance with the SONCAP?
Compliance with the SONCAP is a two stage process. The first stage, Product Certification, is applicable only the first time that you wish to export a particular type or model of product. A Product Certificate will be issued after the submission of an acceptable Test Report to the local SON Country Office. The resulting Product Certificate can be valid for up to three years. The second stage, SONCAP Certification, is applicable on a shipment by shipment basis. The detailed process is contained within the “Guidelines for Exporters” document which can be obtained from SON or your local SON Country Office or from our Downloads section.
