Certification Introduction
Togo implements mandatory ICQN certification for electronic and electrical products included in the control list, which is a necessary prerequisite for product customs clearance and legal listing on the market. The application scope covers most common electronic and electrical categories such as household appliances, low-voltage electrical appliances, and lighting products. The certification is managed by Togo's official quality authority, with the core purpose of controlling the safety, electromagnetic compatibility and energy efficiency performance of imported products.
Laws and Regulations
The core regulatory basis is Togo's Decree No. 2018-012, which clearly stipulates that electronic and electrical products included in the mandatory catalog must obtain conformity certification before they can be placed on the market; Starting from January 2024, Togo added new requirements for mandatory implementation of the new version of energy efficiency labeling system. The specific list of controlled products needs to be verified for the latest version on the official website of Togo's official quality authority.
Technical Requirements
- Safety performance adopts IEC 60335 series international standards, electromagnetic compliance meets CISPR 14-1 standard, and refrigeration-type electronic and electrical products need to meet additional energy efficiency index requirements
- Products must adapt to Togo's grid parameters: rated voltage 220-240V, frequency 50Hz, with an allowable voltage fluctuation range of ±10%
- Plugs must comply with NF C 61-314 standard, products must carry permanent French markings indicating rated parameters, waterproof level, and manufacturer information
- Electronic and electrical products with wireless functions require additional confirmation of frequency compliance requirements, and specific rules should be consulted with the local competent authority.
Certification Process
Prepare application materials, including application forms filled in French or English, complete product technical documents (circuit diagrams, instruction manuals, BOM lists), valid test reports conforming to IEC/CB standards, and manufacturer qualification documents; Send samples to an ICQN-accredited laboratory to complete tests on required items; For enterprises with an annual shipment volume exceeding 5,000 units, an on-site factory audit by the competent authority is required to verify the production line quality control system; After all tests and audits are passed, you will obtain the ICQN certification certificate, and the product can be cleared and listed after affixing the compliance certification mark.
