Baar (November 21, 2025) – SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is pleased to host a live webinar, ‘PAU PVoC Uganda Program Awareness 2025 – Ensuring Compliance’, on December 8, 2025.
The Petroleum Authority of Uganda (PAU) enforces a pre‑export verification of conformity (PVoC) program to ensure that specialized equipment and materials destined for oil and gas projects meet national regulatory standards for quality and safety. Conformity assessment is conducted in the country of export prior to shipment, helping companies avoid costly delays and ensuring smoother clearance of consignments into Uganda.
Understanding how the PAU PVoC program works and staying informed about recent changes is key to maintaining compliance and minimizing trade disruptions. Early verification enables exporters and importers to take corrective action in advance if needed, supporting efficient and reliable market access.
During this webinar, Joel Tumwebaze, Manager of QHSE and Security, PAU, and SGS expert Barbra Sayuni, Operations and Contract Manager – Uganda PVoC Programs, will share insights into the PAU PVoC program, including recent regulatory updates, stakeholder responsibilities, common inspection challenges and practical steps to simplify compliance. The session will conclude with a live Q&A.
This event is designed for global trade professionals, including licensees, contractors, exporters, importers, freight forwarders and compliance managers involved in supplying specialized equipment and materials for Uganda’s oil and gas sector.
Industry professionals are advised to register here to secure their place and stay ahead of compliance requirements.
