Cameroon Pre Shipment Conformity Assessment Program (PECAE) Service

Since August 31, 2016, Cameroon Bureau of standards and quality (Anor) has launched Cameroon pre shipment evaluation of conformity (PECAE) to ensure the quality of products, the health, safety and environmental protection of Cameroon consumers, and protect the public from the hazards of unqualified products to public health, safety and environment.
