Jordan ISO Certificate Attestation

ISO Certificates for Jordanian Registrations and Tenders

ISO certificates are part of almost every regulated product file and many public tenders in Jordan. A medical device manufacturer registering with the Jordan Food and Drug Administration is typically asked for its ISO 13485 certificate; suppliers bidding to public buyers, including the central body that purchases medicines and supplies for Jordan’s public health sector, often need ISO 9001; engineering contractors may be asked for ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. When the Jordanian side wants these certificates legalized, they go through U.S. authentication and the Embassy of Jordan.

Medical devices and JFDA

For devices, JFDA reviews the manufacturer’s quality management system as part of registration, and the ISO 13485 certificate is central evidence. The certificate’s scope must cover the device types being registered and the sites that make them, and the manufacturer name and address must match the registration file, the free sale certificate and the labels. JFDA registrations are renewed periodically, so keep the certificate current and plan for recertification dates.

Tenders and standards

Jordanian procurement bodies evaluate certification as part of technical compliance. Committees look for certificates from accredited certification bodies that can be verified online, with scope covering the offered goods and validity through the evaluation period. For goods subject to Jordanian technical regulations, the Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization may also consider quality certifications alongside product testing.

Preparing the certificate for legalization

An ISO certificate is issued by a private certification body, so it needs a notarial act before U.S. authentication. Usual approaches are a signed statement by an officer of the certification body confirming the certificate, or a true-copy certification by an officer of the certified company, signed before a notary. Choose the approach the Jordanian buyer or JFDA accepts, and check expiry and scope before notarizing.

Route and timing

Once notarized, the document is authenticated by the Secretary of State and the U.S. Department of State, and legalized by the Embassy of Jordan in Washington, D.C., in about five working days. Jordan does not use apostilles. We register the embassy file online with the Jordanian Foreign Ministry, pay there and include the extra copy. When a tender is closing, tell us the date so we can schedule each step.
