SON joins NESS technical committee to boost export quality assurance
The Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) has joined the Nigerian Export Supervision Scheme (NESS) technical committee to strengthen export quality assurance.
SON said in a statement on Sunday that its inclusion recognised its statutory responsibility for ensuring the quality, safety and conformity of Nigerian products, particularly those destined for export.
It said the development would strengthen export conformity assessment within Nigeria’s trade framework and improve coordination among relevant agencies.
“The move will facilitate the integration of SON’s Export Certificate Programme (SONEXCAP) into the National Single Window.
“It will enhance the competitiveness of Nigerian products, build confidence in Made-in-Nigeria goods and support growth in the non-oil sector,” the organisation said.
NESS was established under the Pre-shipment Inspection of Exports Act of 1996 to ensure that goods leaving Nigeria undergo inspection before shipment.
The scheme operates through government-appointed inspection agents.
