Discover the process to successfully import Compressed Natural Gas into Nigeria.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is increasingly being recognized as an alternative fuel for vehicles due to its environmental benefits and cost-effectiveness. However, its importation and use come with significant risks, especially considering its explosive nature.
The Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON) has classified CNG as a high-risk import item. As Cotecna offers, testing, inspection and certification services authorised by SON (Standards Organisation of Nigeria) for its SONCAP program, we would like to ensure safety and compliance when importing.
It is essential to note that the necessary Product Certificate and SONCAP Certificates for CNG/LPG cylinders can only be issued by SON. Therefore importers/Exporters are encouraged to contact SON directly.
However, Cotecna is able to assist you should you face challenges navigating the certification process for this or any other SON regulated product.
