Technical Evaluation Report (TER)

Product compliance with Kuwait’s safety, environmental, and technical standards, enabling export under the KUCAS

Overview

Overview

The Technical Evaluation Report (TER) is the foundational certificate of the Kuwait Conformity Assurance Scheme (KUCAS), mandated by the Public Authority for Industry (PAI). It is a product-level certification that verifies your product's design, prototype, and manufacturing process comply with all applicable Kuwaiti Standards (KWS) and technical regulations.

Why the TER is Your First Critical Step

Before you can ship any regulated product to Kuwait, you must secure a valid TER. This pre-export verification is designed to:

  1. Ensure Compliance: It formally certifies that your product model meets the strict safety, quality, and performance standards set by the Kuwaiti government.
  2. Streamline Future Shipments: A valid TER simplifies the process for all future shipments of the same product. Once you have a TER, obtaining the required TIR for each subsequent consignment is faster and more efficient.
  3. Prevent Costly Delays: Attempting to ship without a TER will result in your goods being held or rejected at Kuwaiti ports, leading to significant storage fees, demurrage charges, and potential returns.
  4. Build Trust: Displaying TER certification builds trust with your Kuwaiti partners and end-consumers, affirming that your products are reliable and approved by accredited international standards bodies.
  5. Protect Your Investment: It safeguards your business against the financial risks and reputational damage associated with non-compliant shipments.
