ICV Certificate Validity

The ADNOC implemented the In-Country Value addition program to help local vendors and suppliers in the UAE. Due to its positive impact on the nation’s economy, several ADNOC ICV certification agencies have sprung up all over the UAE. These agencies help suppliers and vendors obtain a valid ICV certificate. Such an ICV certification acts as an assurance that the ICV score on their certificate is authentic and genuine. Let us now take a look at the ICV certificate validity and the need for such a system. 

ICV Certificate-Who all requires a certificate from ICV

What is ICV certificate? 

An ICV certificate issued by an ADNOC ICV certification agency acts as assurance regarding the supplier’s ICV score. Moreover, a brief look at an ICV certificate sample will help you understand the details needed to obtain such certificate. To calculate such a score, the agency will need full access to the supplier’s financial history, and understand what value they add to the economy.

In case the company is young, they can submit their management accounts from the past 9 months to calculate their ICV score. If not, the ICV certification depends on the company’s audited financial statements, which are not older than two years. However, the ICV certificate validity lasts for 14 months from the date of issue of the company’s Audited Financial Statements.
