Certification Introduction

Morocco implements a mandatory conformity assessment system for imported electrical and electronic products. Products included in the regulated catalog must obtain a Certificate of Conformity (COC) and affix the CMIM conformity mark, and EU CE certification cannot replace this certification. Wireless communication electrical and electronic products also need to additionally meet the special certification requirements of Morocco's National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (ANRT), and can only complete customs clearance and go on the market after obtaining compliance documents.

Laws and Regulations

Core regulations include Morocco's Industrial Regulation No. 24.09, Ministerial Resolutions No. 2573.14 and No. 2574.14, which clearly stipulate the mandatory conformity assessment requirements for low voltage (LVD) safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). In 2025, ANRT released the new edition of the Regulations on Certification of Terminal Equipment and Radio Electrical Equipment, upgrading the access threshold for wireless electrical and electronic products. Supervision and implementation are carried out through division of labor by the Moroccan Ministry of Industry, Trade, Investment and Digital Economy (MCINET), the Moroccan Institute of Standards (IMANOR), and ANRT.

Technical Requirements

Scope of Application: covers most electrical and electronic products with AC 50-1000V and DC 75-1000V. The general grid specification is single-phase 220V/50Hz. Standard System: Safety requirements adopt IEC international electrotechnical standards, for example, household appliances follow the IEC 60335 series, information equipment follows IEC 62368-1; electromagnetic compatibility conforms to corresponding series standards of CISPR and EN. Wireless products additionally require compliance with the EN 301 489 series, and completion of 5G frequency band and SAR value testing. Energy Efficiency Requirements: 12 categories of products including air conditioners and refrigerators are compulsorily required to affix energy efficiency labels, implementing the NM 13.1.140 standard (equivalent to the EU ERP directive). Marking Requirements: The height of the CMIM mark shall not be less than 6mm. The nameplate and instruction manual shall mark core parameters and safety warnings in Arabic, with optional addition of French or English.

Certification Process

The importer in Morocco submits the certification application through the official Portnet platform. The exporter cooperates to prepare application documents, including product test reports issued by qualified laboratories, commercial invoices, packing lists, product technical documents, etc. Official or authorized institutions conduct document review, and arrange sampling testing or batch shipment inspection according to the certification mode. After passing the review and inspection, an electronic COC certificate will be issued, and products can clear customs and enter the market after affixing the compliance mark.
