Summary
Exporting container plant factories requires market-specific certifications. The EU, US, and Middle East each impose distinct mandatory approvals covering safety, electronics, and plant health.
Key Points
- EU: CE mark from a notified body (TÜV, SGS) plus RoHS and a registered phytosanitary certificate are mandatory.
- US: USDA phytosanitary via APHIS PCIT, FDA food-facility registration with a US agent, FCC for wireless modules, and UL or ETL strongly advised.
- Middle East: Saudi SABER (PCoC, SCoC), UAE license and origin papers, Arabic or bilingual labels; plan standards early via ILAC-MRA labs (BV, Intertek).
