SGS Highlights Developments in Tanzania’s PVoC Program as New Measures Roll Out
The Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) has implemented new measures to strengthen program efficiency and transparency
Effective November 1, 2025, TBS introduced an updated certificate of conformity (CoC) template designed to reinforce document integrity and improve traceability across the verification process. The revised format enhances security features and aligns documentation with the country’s wider efforts to modernize import oversight. SGS has fully deployed the updated CoC format across its operations to ensure a smooth transition for exporters and supply chain partners.
In parallel, TBS is initiating a phased system integration project aimed at improving information exchange, data accuracy and monitoring within the PVoC framework. While existing communication channels remain functional, the upcoming integration will create a more streamlined digital environment, allowing for better visibility of conformity assessments conducted prior to export. This modernization effort supports TBS’s long-term objective of strengthening traceability and enhancing the efficiency of trade procedures.
An SGS spokesperson said: "These latest developments reflect Tanzania’s commitment to advancing the robustness of its PVoC program while supporting a stable and transparent trading environment. We continue to work closely with TBS and industry stakeholders to facilitate compliance and ensure that importers and exporters are well prepared for the evolving regulatory landscape."
Stakeholders are encouraged to remain attentive to TBS updates and reach out for guidance to ensure documentation, product conformity and verification processes align with the latest requirements.
