Whoever you are, whatever your business, you both use and benefit from public sector services, infrastructure and legislation amongst many other day to day interactions with officialdom. Whether operating at a national, regional or local level, working with SGS opens the door to better performance and improved services for public sector end users and consumers.

Globally, we offer a comprehensive range of services to help governments, institutions and administrations keep their promises to the public. Work with us to improve your services and customer experience as well as to reduce costs, timescales and backlogs.

Our innovative and comprehensive services are tailor-made to meet your requirements. We cannot replace public infrastructure but we will integrate with, enhance and help to enforce existing policies and processes either standalone or as part of a broader package. We are here to help and examples of our expertise in the area of public sector administration include:

Product Conformity Assessment (PCA)

SGS Product Conformity Assessment (PCA) is a solution designed to ensure that specific products meet the requirements of the technical regulations and standards set by a regulatory authority in the importing country.

Conformity assessment verifies products’ compliance with the requirements of applicable standards and technical regulations. It follows a review by SGS product specialists of reports from verification activities such as laboratory testing, physical inspection and factory audits. Conformity of products is evidenced by the issuance of a Certificate of Conformity (CoC), a document that is mandatory for customs clearance.

We operate PCA services and assist manufacturers and suppliers to achieve compliance of their exports to many countries.

Border Control: Our expertise in public protection through border control is unrivaled. We have installed scanners all over the world and trained personnel to operate them efficiently and effectively. In addition to physical security measures, we can help you with risk profiling and management at ports, airports and land borders. To complete your tailor-made service our local experts can also guide your quality assessments and conduct audits and certification against a broad range of internationally-recognized systems.

E-government: Paper-based systems are increasingly being replaced with electronic and online solutions. Our e-government solutions touch on almost every aspect of everyday life. Financial services extend from Inland Revenue and sales tax systems to foreign exchange control (CEPECS). But we also operate customs management systems to facilitate international trade, valuation services such as ValiTrade and ValuNet, monitoring tools such as TransitNet and NGO benchmarking. We help you make trade easier for millions of people around the world.
