Quality & Compliance — ISO 22000, HACCP, SGS, Intertek | Egypt Globe

Egypt Globe Group QA charter — internal Quality Assurance division since 2014, ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 + GOEIC export licensing. Inspection partners TÜV Austria, SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas, Cotecna — all ISO/IEC 17020 + 17025. Per-lot CoA before B/L.

01

Quality & compliance is non-negotiable — the Egypt Globe Group QA charter

Egyptian export trade operates under three concurrent compliance layers — domestic licensing, destination-country conformity programmes, and contract-level technical specifications. Egypt Globe Group maintains accreditation, documentation and audit trails in all three layers so every shipment is bank-acceptable, customs-clearable, and contract-compliant on arrival.

This charter exists because the group was incorporated in 2014 with an internal Quality Assurance division at its nucleus. The regional market's recurring failure is not a lack of laboratories but a lack of ownership: when no single unit is accountable for a lot from extraction to the loading berth, specifications drift between shipments. Egypt Globe Group's QA division owns every lot code from source sample to Certificate of Analysis, and holds the authority to reject a lot at the port regardless of commercial pressure — uncompromising QA verification from extraction to destination port.

02

Independent third-party inspection — inspection partners

Egypt Globe Group works principally with three accredited international inspection bodies, with two further bodies available for buyer preference or specific destination programmes. All are ILAC + IAF mutual-recognition accredited and ISO/IEC 17020 + 17025 compliant.

Internal quality system

Relevant standards referenced in contracts are summarised on the standards pages — for example EN 16811-1, ASTM D632, EN 197-1, ASTM C150 and ISO 9001 for salt suppliers.

06

Zero-tolerance policy

The QA division enforces zero tolerance in four areas. These are operating rules, not aspirations.

Specification deviation
a lot whose port-laboratory analysis falls outside the contract specification is rejected at the loading port. It is never re-graded, re-described or renegotiated into the shipment.
Grading inconsistency
particle-size, moisture and visual grade are checked per batch at processing and per lot at the port; blended cargo must meet the specification as a whole and per sub-lot.
Documentation errors
the L/C-bank document set (Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, Phytosanitary where required) is reconciled against the CoA and the contract before presentation; a discrepancy is corrected before release, not explained afterwards.
Laycan discipline
every vessel call is governed by a documented Notice of Readiness and Statement of Facts. Berthing, loading rate and completion are recorded so that laytime is transparent to both parties. The group does not promise the absence of delay — ports, weather and vessel performance are outside any exporter's control — but it does commit to documented, contract-compliant handling of every laycan.

Caveat — buyer responsibility

Specifications are guaranteed at the port of loading and binding under the Sales Contract. Beyond that point, cargo condition during voyage and at the destination is governed by the Bill of Lading + cargo insurance. Egypt Globe Group strongly recommends that buyers procure independent marine insurance and arrange acceptance testing at the destination for high-value or critical applications.
