7. Our coal related services are second to none with a focus on areas such as Production Laboratories, Trade,
Exploration and a Mozambique specific consistency. We run an end-to-end process where we will provide
exploration services, to on-site testing and then independent third-party certifications on quality and quantity of
products for export.
Bureau Veritas applies a client-focused approach to the delivery of our services, with a core focus and commitment
to understanding our clients' individual business and industry requirements. Our highly qualified and experienced
team of technical staff and operators are dedicated to delivering the right solutions and adding value to your
business. Through our various facilities in Southern Africa, Bureau Veritas offers a comprehensive service covering
analysis of exploration samples, plant control work, sampling of consignments, analysis and marine services.
As a client of Bureau Veritas you can expect to receive open and transparent communication, ready access to
results and status updates, and assistance with interpretation of reports. We are also in a position to assist with
scoping of exploration projects and customising the range of exploration analysis to meet the specific end-user
requirements.
Production Laboratories
Bureau Veritas runs on-site mine laboratories in the SADC region for various coal mines. These mine laboratories
are equipped and manned depending on the clients' requirements.
Once the client makes the decision to open a mine, we will scope the mine laboratory to meet the client / plant
operator requirements. In this scoping we provide regular information for the running of the plant as well as meeting
the contractual requirements of the product.
Trade
International demand for Coal continues to grow and, as a result, there is an increasing number of stakeholders,
including producers, end users, traders and finance organisations, with a vested interest in this expanding industry.
The various stakeholders require an independent third party to provide certification of quality and quantity. In any
transaction where goods are bought and sold, there needs to be a concise definition of the quality and quantity to
facilitate the commercial transaction.
Bureau Veritas supplies assurance and confidence in transactions for the client. This assurance and confidence
comes from over 30 years of experience in providing clients with internationally recognised and accepted
certificates. Bureau Veritas Minerals Group (Coal Services) is the largest superintendent of sea-borne coal cargoes
in the world.
Exploration
Bureau Veritas has two coal exploration laboratories in South Africa with a combined staff component of over 200.
Our Coal Labs in Sunderland Ridge, Centurion & Middleburg, Mpumalanga are two of the largest and most
comprehensive, state of the art coal exploration laboratories in the world.
We offer a “one-stop”, highly professional, quality service with responsive turn-around times. Our coking coal
expertise and experience are unrivalled in Southern Africa and both of our facilities are SANAS accredited.

23. If your business is involved in international trading operations we're here to reduce the risks. Our Government
Services & International Trade (GSIT) services ensure that your commercial transactions are completed
satisfactorily. International trade is increasingly complex due to fast-changing regulations imposed by individual
countries, governments and third parties.
Whether buying or selling at national or international levels, traders (and this can include producers/exporters/
importers/traders/banks/insurance companies), government bodies and international organisations need to be
protected during ownership transfer. Goods need to conform to the regulations in practice.
Through our Government Services & International Trade division, we are one of the leading providers of import
control and inspection services, performing tasks such as the pre- and post-shipment inspection of goods in
various fields.
Governments today give high priority to promoting international trade while protecting consumer health, safety and the environment.
Most national standard organizations, acting within a legislative framework, call for the intervention of independent third-party
companies as a way to maintain full control on goods entering the domestic market. VOC (Verification of Conformity) checks
conformity of goods to relevant national or international standards, taking into account the local specificities.
The Verification of Conformity service involves checking conformity of goods according to national standards or an international
equivalent. At the same time it encourages exporters to understand the need for compliance and its benefits. The process is simple:
documentary evidence is required to prove compliance with the required standards, or the goods can be tested in an approved
laboratory. The shipment will be subjected to physical verification to ensure that the documents match the products and that no
deviations are found. Regular shipments can be treated under registration or licensing.
Governments need to ensure that the correct revenues are collected on imports/exports. They need a reliable global partner to help
them reach this goal. Pre-shipment inspection allows for the nature of the goods to be understood, the quantity and price controls
set.
Pre-shipment inspection is a service carried out for governments and at the same time combines confirmation of the buyer's
specifications, and quantity and value controls of imports/exports. It is done in compliance with WTO (World Trade Organization)
requirements. In carrying out pre-shipment inspection of goods on behalf of Customs authorities, Bureau Veritas helps international
trade operators to comply fully with current legislation. This improves their business efficiency and eliminates risk wherever
possible.
