Hello Collins, Meeting the IEC standards applicable to your product should get you into the Ivory Coast.
To be sure, get "ARSO" (Africa Regional Organization for Standardization) approval. You would probably need to get approval thru an NSB (National Standards Body) of a member country (The Ivory Coast is not one). Testing is based on the IEC standards. The mark itself consists of three circles (inner and outer) with the Africa map in the middle. It is usually affixed to the product with the mark of the approving NSB. There is a Quality System to ISO9000 and surveillance program required.
