25 Août 2025

On August 25, 2025, the SOAC (Congolese Oil and Gas Association) was invited to Pointe-Noire for the presentation of the accreditation certificate to the laboratory of the Congolese Refining Company (CORAF), a major milestone for the Congolese oil industry. The result of a voluntary process, this ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation recognizes the laboratory's technical competence and positions the refinery among the leading players in Central Africa. It strengthens the reliability of analyses, the rigor of controls, and consumer confidence. This commitment is part of growing cooperation between the WAEMU (West African Economic and Monetary Union) and CEMAC (Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa) regions. The SOAC commended the professionalism of the teams and encouraged the continuation of quality initiatives within the plant.
