This decision establishes a mechanism for the registration of Conformity Assessment Bodies that issue certificates of inspection and conformity for food consignments imported into Egypt. This decision organises the registration requirements and procedures, enforcement, technical and financial obligations of the Conformity Assessment Bodies required to conduct valid pre-shipment inspection.

Moreover, this decision allows the Chairman of the National Food Safety Authority (NFSA) to conclude Agreements and Memorandum of Understanding with International and Regional Authorities and Bodies on mutual recognition of food safety control systems to provide the required level of protection.

This measure will reduce the time of inspections at the border and accelerate the release time of the food consignments imported into Egypt, while ensuring credibility in the issued certificates.     

Worth mentioning is that this decision complies with international Principles and guidelines.
