In brief
Before requesting models, send the product category, installation details, buyer channel, quantity structure and required documents. For regulated imports, check the current SONCAP process before shipment.
Information to send first
State whether you buy for distribution, building-material retail or a project. Add the shower configuration, installation and connection requirements, control arrangement and intended order mix.
Confirm conformity scope early
The Standards Organisation of Nigeria describes SONCAP as a pre-shipment conformity verification process for regulated imported goods. Confirm whether the selected product and shipment are in scope, which standard applies and which current documents are required.
Keep the order evidence connected
Match the quoted model, test or conformity evidence, approved sample, inspection record, carton labels and packing list. Do not rely on a company-wide certificate for an unverified model.
Questions buyers ask
Does this page confirm that every sanitary ware item needs the same certificate?
No. Product scope and current requirements must be checked for the exact item and shipment with SON, the importer and qualified local advisers.
What should I send for a first discussion?
Send your buyer type, destination, category, specification, order structure, target position and any reference drawing or model photo.
