Morocco Postpones Implementation of Conformity Mark

The Moroccan Ministry of Industry, Trade, Investment and the Digital Economy announced online that it postpones implementation of rules regarding Moroccan safety conformity mark. The implementation date is delayed till December 31, 2019.

Under the Law No. 24-09 named “Safety of Products and Services”. The following equipment must comply with safety rules and regulatory technical requirements and bear a new mark:

•low-voltage electrical equipment (LVD) designed for the use at a voltage rating 50-1000V for alternating current and 75-1500V for direct current

•the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of equipment (does not include wireless communication equipment or telecommunications terminals)

From January 1, 2020, products must be marked with required Conformity mark by the manufacturers themselves. Imported products will have to comply before arriving at the Moroccan Customs for clearance.

The Moroccan Conformity Mark should be visible and legible on the equipment or its data plate. The vertical dimension of the “C” of the mark must be greater than or equal to 6mm. If the device is too small, or in case it does not make sense to affix it to the product, it shall be affixed to the packaging and to the accompanying documents.
