Azerbaijan has recently introduced a certification system. It is administrated by the Ministry of Communications.

New national standards are in the process of being compiled.

At present no foreign lab is allowed to carry out compliance testing for Azerbaijan approvals, and no foreign company is allowed to issue certification.

Foreign companies may directly apply for certification. Local representative is not required for license holding of Azerbaijan certification. The MOC requires two forms to be completed by the applicant, one is for the technical compliance, the other one is for safety and ecological declaration.
